Interestingly enough, I did just that this morning. I asked for a one-on-one to sort some of this out. I fear you're close to the mark, though. It's scaring me a little, if I'm being perfectly honest. I love my wife so much. It just feels like there's a massive disconnect between expectations...

So I'm this guy, or was. Not so much anymore. I've often been guilty of a hyper-focused work ethic. I've luckily grown to see money differently over the years and actually bailed from the corporate ladder completely. Point is, I see both perspectives. So, I'm curious, do you ever try...

Do they have enough time and give you little or is it both a lack of available time and a lack of direct attention to the relationship or you?

Absolutely. Appreciate your response. You are absolutely right. My situation is a bit unique. Imagine being back in the 1800s living on a farm. That's my life for the most part, which I enjoy every aspect of but being alone all day. It gets hard. Thing after thing goes wrong, which I don't want...

This exactly. I strongly relate to everything here and think you are exactly right. We do have a poly-friendly therapist, We have made a lot of progress, but something here slid under the rug. I think a big part of it is my insecurity, since I wasn't looking for anything but talking with this...

I thought so, but I'm thinking we certainly got off track somewhere in the past couple of months. Our therapist sent us some worksheets we are going to start working on today, about setting healthy boundaries. So I'm hoping that helps us both navigate this. I think she felt threatened by her...

Thank you so much for the thoughtful and thorough response. Much of this makes sense, especially us not being on the same page as far as types of ENM. You are correct, I am more polyamorous in how I feel and she is probably closer to monogamish. That's a good perspective, thank you. And no...

It is certainly rewarding but so much work. Really appreciate the response. Is there anything you can identify specifically that triggers your feelings of lonliness?

My wife and I lead very busy lives apart, so we've agreed over the years to allow each other the freedom to talk to other people. It helps us get through the day and the stimulation leads to deeper intimacy between us when we are together. It's had its ups and downs, but overall has been a...

I'm new here, still learning, but this part of the response seems especially fitting. I think looking at it this way is the most healthy waybto proceed. That not all things have to be equal but that they should be balanced and mutually agreed upon. I would try to find some curiosity and ask...

Hey all, so here's my introduction. I'm 45, my wife is 39. We've been together for a decade. We have had poly ideas intertwined throughout our relationship, but have only started really being honest about that the past few years. Now we are in this transition phase, or potentially, anyway, and...

Hey, Bee. First off, love the name, one of my favorite fictional characters is Bee Farseer. I'm new here too, about to write my intro and read yours, as it was at the top, to see a sample. To my surprise, it feels very relatable to why I'm here as well and wanted to say so.

Hey there, I am the male half of a traditional couple looking to possibly open our marriage. We just finished a great book on Polyamory and it's giving me a bit of courage to reach out here. There are things I could use an outside perspective on, whether it be opinion or experience. Looking...
