My wife (Cookie) confessed that she had developed feelings for her best friend (Pumpkin) I was shocked and really struggled for a couple months. I considered divorce because the concept of monogamy was so deeply ingrained in me. Coming to terms with the fact that my wife is bisexual is still...

Cookie's mom made a quilt for Pumpkin. When she was presented with it, Pumpkin looked very uncomfortable. I guess she was surprised to realize how much she is appreciated.

Cookie seems to have gotten over any lingering hangups she had about girl-on-girl stuff. After my last trip, I was surprised to see Cookie give oral to Pumpkin. It's still strange to me to see my formerly hetero wife going all-in with this new relationship. Pumpkin got tested for STDs and got an...

Both the wife and the girlfriend get a lot of pleasure from watching the other one with me, and I get a lot of pleasure from watching them with each other. Nobody is sitting out, sometimes it's a pair focused on each other with the third "helping" wherever they fit in. Sometimes it's two...

My wife and I are in our first poly relationship, but for me, the NRE lasted only a few weeks. As soon as our girlfriend started sleeping in our bed every night, it felt like we'd been together for years. My wife on the other hand is still feeling the NRE as strong as ever. It's her first time...

It's that time of the month again - and Cookie, Pumpkin, and the kid are still all in sync within 36 hours of each other. I'm making a lot of trips to the store to get more ice cream. Pumpkin has already started the process to get an IUD. Cookie already has one and it has made her period very...

In my case, I couldn't find anyone that could manage my kid's behaviors. Even people that advertised experience with special needs kids would quit after a few hours. Overnight was out of the question.

I was reading about Eastern screech owls and found this fact interesting. I might have found my spirit animal. Eastern Screech-Owl pairs usually are monogamous and remain together for life. Some males, however, will mate with two different females.

I've been in a closed throuple for only the past few months. My wife dropped a bombshell on me, that essentially she was having feelings for her friend, and that her friend was agreeable to joining both of us. I'd had no experience with anything outside of a normal, hetero, monogamous...

We were with Cookie's family for Thanksgiving. Pumpkin seems very comfortable there, which is nice for her because she is an only child, does not have a large family, and does not get along with her mom. She had a great relationship with her father, but he passed away when she was young...

I like to think that in our case, having a third makes us more stable, like a tripod, but I understand what you mean. I feel this way sometimes. Less important, certainly. I have communicated with the girls that when I've been travelling, and sleeping alone for a week or two, while they have...

We have given her a home free of judgement and expectations. We've told her that she is family. This was before anything became romantic, when she was just a friend. She has been added as a health care proxy. She has keys to everything. She is invited to all family gatherings.

I mostly ask about her about what she wants to ger out of this. Will she be happy as a third, or will she want a partner of her own? Maybe I'm worried that I'll be the third. Right now, my wife is still feeling the NRE. It's her first time with another woman and she is definitely enjoying all...

I think that, right now, she is happier than she has been in a very, very long time.

Life here is the normal stuff - laundry, groceries, cooking, cleaning. It's normal family life but with an extra "wife" helping out.

Have you been the mythical, sought-after, unicorn to a married couple? I'd like to hear your story. My wife and I had not been hunting for a unicorn, but through a combination of circumstances, my wife's friend (Pumpkin) moved in with us and one day the conversation came up that she would like...

Traveling again. Just finished video chatting with the girls. I don't know if talking to them makes me miss them more or less. A bit of both.

I can empathise with what you are feeling. A few months ago, my wife expressed feelings for her best friend. It hit me like a truck, because she had never expressed any interest in another woman before. I tore myself apart for two months and shed plenty of tears, but decided to stop worrying...

If he has said that he is the only one that gets to be poly while you must remain monogamous, that is a red flag. Even if you are happy being mono, you are not happy with him being poly. It takes a lot of work to have a poly partner - and that is when it is something that you want to have. You...

I would like to hear more about how you felt being with a couple. It's so strange to me that I'm not even sure how to put it to a question. I guess the big question is: can a woman be truly happy being a in a committed, closed relationship with a married couple instead of having a primary...
