I love hearing everyone's stories and opinions. Thanks for helping me out! Now I need to come up with fun nicknames for the husband and the boyfriend like you all have!

What is a "V"? Is there a place I can go to reference the acronyms or nicknames used in the forums?

Another question... In a poly situation such as mine, how do you tell your families? My mom and siblings know my side, but the boyfriend's family would not be so welcoming if they knew I was married. I'm curious as to how you all deal with that. I know how I will deal with it for...

Thank you BlueShoes, I love hearing the other side's perspective. I know that the boyfriend is enjoying every minute he has with me and he tries to see me as often as possible, I cherish that now.

Hi all - this is my first post. I have been married for 4 years and we are generally very happy. We started our marriage as open, but he was more poly than just open. After I learned more about it, I finally realized that I am poly as well! Even though we only have had experiences outside of...
