Sorry to hear it ended like it did.. It was baby steps and there are always lessons to be learned.
From experience, it might be better to stay away from work. There is plenty of time and opportunities for her to meet another guy.
Maybe this is the time to talk about you being friends with...
I am at a loss as to why you want to continue to be married to someone who might say he loves you and yet goes out of his way to show you otherwise.
He agreed to a lot of things regarding open marriage, and didn't stick with those rules, either. So what makes you think he will "obey" any rules...
No, unfortunately, we do not have any together. I would love another baby, but the doctors say (and have said for years) that I can't get pregnant, and with my AMA (advanced maternal age) the chances are slim.
Most are grown and gone now. Only 6 are left in the house. The fridge is always being...
I understand... My hubby reassured me that I would not be replaced by his gf. I never was threatened by her in that aspect, but there were some other things regarding her that we had to work through.
Just pointing out a fact here, but being monogamous doesn't necessarily mean that you would be...
lololol
3 are biologically his, 5 are biologically mine, the other 11 are foster and/or adopted, but we love them all the same. Everyone calls the others brothers and sisters.
Nut and I live in a very small conservative Christian town, have many children (19) between the two of us, and have a photography business.
We have had the same situation happen. Though Nut's gf lived about an hour away, she worked with him here in our town. So breakfasts and lunches together...
Hi,
Welcome..
You are not a horrible human being... Some thoughts and theories are exciting and the reality can be quite different. That doesn't make any of it right or wrong. Everything your feeling is normal.
Communication with her is a must. Honest communication about your feelings and...
I agree with SNeacail,
You need to be solid in your own relationship or trying poly could be very hard on your relationship.
I also disagree with going out to clubs sans rings.. It would be misleading to the other women he might be talking too or flirting with.

Hi Flowerandroses
Welcome... You will find alot of information here and quite a few people to talk to as you learn about being poly.. Keep communication open with your hubby, you can't talk enough about all the feelings you both will have and process.
Hugs,
Nancy
Hi Kalea,
Welcome to the forum. You will find information here that will be helpful. The first good step you took is to realize that you couldn't trust your former bf and acted on that. Good luck in your search for info on polyamory.

I realize that the daughter is 17, and will be out soon. But there are times when a child doesn't get to get out at 18. Is the new bf wanting to raise a child for a year? Would leaving her with her dad be an option if he has threatened violence? Is any of this really a good thing for her to be...
Don't do anything. Don't act on anything. Let it go. Let it pass.
Doing anything with this young man will hurt your relationship with your daughter. It will be irreparable, or at the least take many years to repair, and it won't have been worth it.
How awkward would it be to continue with this...
Most awesome.. I'm reading this and smiling.. I am so glad your more empowered... Change is hard, but so rewarding when you look back and see your success.. :D
Keep it up!!!
Nancy
Hi Jax,
Welcome... You are completely normal.. Just take things slow, continue to reassure your hubby that you love him and talk, talk, talk, talk...and Read, read, read.. You will find this site very informative.
Good luck!!
Nancy
I agree with most of the others..
What he did was wrong, what he continues to do is wrong. You two have some issues to talk and work through. Adding another person (the person who is using your stolen toy) is NOT the answer to your problem. Don't add her to your house. It's a recipe for disaster...
Hey there...
I'm sorry your hurting. He sounds like a child. I'd not bother with him again. He may very well try to engage you in a relationship again if this new girl doesn't work out. Stay strong and find someone who will treat you the way you want to be treated.
Nancy
Are you talking to them and telling them what you are feeling? Not just daily talking, but having a meaningful sit-down to tell them both how you are feeling?
Maybe since your time is limited, your priority should be the relationship rebuilding with Bobbi. Once you are secure in that, an...
