Thanks for posting this piece, we did read every word. Sometimes it's good to review the basics, it's easy to forget that we are failure prone humans, and get to think our relationship will last forever since it's lasted this long, (probably dumb luck not anything we did ). Hugs :confused:

I'm so glad you got to spend time with her before she passed, one of my last jobs I had before I retired was a personal care attendant. One of my last charges was a lovely 92 year old lady who had a host of problems, but who's children stopped coming to see her when her dementia and incontinence...

We did hide our relationships originally, now that we're retired we're out to almost everyone. We can understand why some ppl (especially those who's lifestyle is politically incorrect ie: polygamy) are reluctant to come out. Fortunately poly is becoming more accepted so their may be less reason...

Here's an interesting article, no reason this wouldn't be true about men in polyamorus relationships too: Polygamy is key to longevity! ANI Mar 6, 2009, 12.00am IST > (Want a long life? Get a second…) Forget long walks and calorie-controlled diets, the sure shot way to live a longer life is: get...

The year was 1978, I was married in mono to my 1st wife, her best girl friend confided to her that she wished she could have a husband like me, but that all the good men were taken. Shortly after that conversation Lea offered to share me with Hollie, and so our family was born. Sometime later...

We've never come out to the kids. They've grown up around multiple mothers. We did have to explain to them that some people would not understand our family, and that they should call their other mothers Aunt So and So, at least in public. These days there is much more interest in poly families...

No Wife Jo is like all of us in that she's retired, even though half of her body is somewhat frozen and spastic. Her pet peeve regarding prejudice is in the non responsiveness of the landlord, she has to push them to get them to do anything. Jo worked for many years in retail, had children, has...

Hi glad to see others from the on line group, don't know what happened there, but I'm glad this is here. Hugs and a Happy New Year.

We often say that we that we practice "Traditional Polyamory" since saying that we are polygamists often has a negative connotation outside of forums such as this. Traditional in that it's biblical, and that it's the oldest/simplest form. Emm wrote: "Polygamy, while illegal in just about any...

My take on "Family Values" is that it depends which family your speaking of and their particular values. Religious groups, which claim to represent the family (not mine I'm sure) are living in a fantasy world, the 50's are long past, the Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver world's were...

We spent Christmas Eve at Jo's place, were I was unleashed to perform my culinary magic. Putting everyone to work, we made candied Sweet Potatoes, Garlic flavored mashed potatoes, 4 Hams, Sweetened and Glazed baby Carrots, deviled Eggs, sweet baby gherkins (pickles), with whole berry canberry...

I had a vasectomy back in '86. My wives had fun with me and shaved everything, and to my surprise, I enjoyed the feeling of being bare. These days, the ladies are divided on this. Jo likes me hairy. Marie likes me clean shaven. So I've compromised and leave my pubes hairy and shave everything...

We've always been heavy (so much good food) but we've made peace with our sizes a long time ago. These days we work at being healthy and feeling good, the ladies keep after me to take my meds so I have a good quality of life now and when I joke that I'm going to live to 125 :p

Lots happening right now, I managed to fall and bang myself up pretty well, our GP didn't want to touch it, and sent me to a specialist, I'm not allowed to walk anymore then I have to, so I'm using a wheelchair for the next 12 weeks or so. I'm getting a real education into what Jo faces on a...

Swingers and poly My second wife was very much interested in swinging, but I generally objected since there usually was no emotional or romantic attachments. We did find a couple who we became friends with and developed at least emotional attachments to, so sex wasn't just sex for sex's sake...

We are huge fans of Downton Abby, which here in the US, we are anxiously awaiting the airing of season 4, which is just finishing in the UK. http://www.wetpaint.com/downton-abbey is just chock full of spoilers, but makes us certainly want to watch PBS on Jan 5th, and rush out and buy the 4th...

One of my wives suggested my screen name, she said: you're old and poly and a man. I have a more well known screen name (last I googled up to 18 pages) since I've been writing extensively on topics I care about, but before we were out, my concern was to protect my family.:rolleyes:

It took us a while to come up with an equitable schedule, but I alternate back and forth between the ladies. For example: Monday - Marie Tuesday - Jo Wednesday - Marie Thursday - Jo Friday - Marie Saterday - Jo Sunday's used to be a family day when we would get together with the kids and...

Oh that's right, it is only one guy. Well i like Era, Lesiem, Magna Canta, and Greg Brown too.:)

Sola Scripturia Since legislation like DOMA is no longer the law of the land in the US, conservative evangelicals are now opposing all forms of poly relationships. They do so at their own risk, of course, since eventually their own belief in the infallibility of scripture as the basis of life...
