    Moving in together

    I don't think my wife and I would have ever discussed having her bf move in with us, if he and I didn't get along the way we do. If he and I weren't comfortable enough with each other that we couldn't hang out together or do things on our own, we wouldn't even consider it. The whole idea and...

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    While walking through a store one day, my wife's mother told her she had to choose between me and her bf... My wife looked at her and simply said, J is happy, I'm happy, and S is happy, it works for us and no reason to choose one.... Made me proud of her saying that!

The first triad introduced, the woman, her husband and her boyfriend is the perfect situation my...

    OK cupid question

    My wife and I each have an individual profile on OKC as well as a profile we share. Also, relationship status of "Available" typically indicates poly or married, but not always. Often times its married but separated. Hope this helps and good luck!

    Mono guy with Poly girl: Finding the strength

    We have been poly for almost 10 years. The first relationship that last over 2 years, we did not realize that we were poly until it ended. I would have to say she has never been in a relationship with someone I knew first or someone that I would feel competitive with. That does sound like an...

    Happy to be here - Hi everyone

    That all sounds very good, and relaxed is a nice thing! Sounds like you are off to a good start, and like you said, there may be some bumps in the road as you go along, just like any relationship, but as long as you all deal with them as they come along anything can be worked through. Openness...
