    Trying out a triad

    I saw the new therapist today. His take on everything was, "If no one is getting hurt, it's fine." Cookie and Pumpkin started their "monthlies" today. Lucky me that they synced up their menstrual cycles. 😅 So I'm being a good husband and getting them ice cream and cookies. Pumpkin is having bad...

    Trying out a triad

    One of the benefits of having thrown myself into my career. Adding one more person to the house doesn't change the bills noticeably. The major expenses are medical - out of network doctors, specialists, and prescriptions. Feeding one more mouth is nothing. My previous therapist was not...

    Poly-Friendly Christians?

    I was brought up Christian, became an atheist as a teenager, but then as an adult, when I was feeling empty, sad, lonely and lost, I felt the Spirit enter my heart and call me back. I went back to church, met the woman of my dreams there, married her there, and was happier than I thought I could...

    Trying out a triad

    I have reservations stemming from morals and religion, but I cannot deny that Pumpkin is very beautiful and just being near her is exciting. There is an intense physical attraction. I owe her a great debt for stepping in to help Cookie when no one else did. She has proven that she loves my...

    Trying out a triad

    I'm mostly just dumping out my thoughts. It helps to take them out of my head and put them in print. But I am totally open to advice. And when I say that everyone is telling me that it can't work, I don't mean anyone here. This is just about the only safe space. It's everywhere else in my...

    Trying out a triad

    I had PIV sex with Pumpkin last night. After over 20 years of monogamy, I slept with my wife's friend while she watched. I found myself looking at Cookie at lot, both to make sure she was still okay and also because, while Pumpkin is beautiful, no one is more beautiful in my eyes than Cookie. I...

    Trying out a triad

    You are correct, I am lucky I don't have to face that. My insecurities are what I'm trying to work on. Who knows if it will be something I have to cope with in the future.

    Trying out a triad

    My therapist is not poly friendly, so I'm switching to a different one. The first appointment is next week. It's been difficult to find someone accepting new patients.

    Trying out a triad

    Cookie and Pumpkin started having sex last night. I was quite surprised how quickly Cookie got into it, considering that it was her first time with another woman. I mostly watched, to let her enjoy her first time-- and wow, did she ever enjoy it! Luckily I have been reading about poly...

    Trying out a triad

    A brief recap: I've been married to Cookie for 20 years. We have a daughter that requires a great deal of attention and care. This put a huge strain on our relationship. Cookie had become depressed and exhausted. I had become angry and distant. I threw myself into work, telling myself that being...

    poly living arrangements

    Let me say that as I lie here in a hotel room alone while my wife and her girlfriend are sleeping together, it causes me some distress. However, I am happy that my beloved wife has someone to support her. At the end of the day, I just want her to be happy. Her girlfriend has proven that she will...

    How to show commitment to the non spouse partner

    She decided on her own to buy a ring to wear like a wedding band to show her commitment to us and as a signal that she is off the market. I must say, it warms my heart that she feels this way.

    Wife fell in love with her friend. Now we're talking about making a triad.

    I have told them they are free to explore without me, and they might the next time I'm away on business. I said that's fine, just make me feel valued when I get back home. I have told her this. I mentioned a few examples, such as they can kiss and fondle each other while I perform oral on...

    Wife fell in love with her friend. Now we're talking about making a triad.

    I feel strange watching my wife passionately kissing someone else. Is it a bad feeling? Maybe a little bit, but not really. I wouldn't say it's a good feeling either, though I am happy that she is happy. Mostly is just strange. I get turned on by the sighs, moans, and gasps - but until...

    Wife fell in love with her friend. Now we're talking about making a triad.

    Correct, but they spend the majority of their waking hours together. I didn't mean for it to happen, and I didn't expect it to happen. And I agree that kissing is sex - which is why I felt it was cheating when they started without me. Agree. Agree. She did tell me they slept together. I...

    Wife fell in love with her friend. Now we're talking about making a triad.

    Today, Friend had a tough day taking care of Kid, so she asked me for a hug. Well, I'd had a tough day at work, and I could use a nice hug myself. That hug turned into a bit of a makeout session. I feel bad that it happened because my wife was not home, but I had told them that they were free...

    Age gaps.

    I didn't feel like a toyboy. We had a lot in common and enjoyed spending time together doing shared interests outside of anything intimate. Of course the intimacy was there too! There are things that a woman in her 40s knows that a 20-something doesn't. And when I went back to dating girls...
