Definitely not 20 hours away...I'm in southern Ontario, about an hour north of Toronto :)

I sort of relate to this dating a couple thing... Now I'm not 'exactly' dating a couple but here is my situation: I am a married woman with two teens from a previous marriage. My current husband is bisexual. We decided to open our marriage sometime last year. He then met a friend's male...

Good for you! :) My husband and I are still mostly closeted poly. But in time, I hope to get to the point where we can just be ourselves without worry of being judged.

Hi Jems...tired of hiding here too, I hear ya! I'm getting more and more claustrophobic in that "closet". New to this forum too and poly as well. :)

Ontario here as well - hi! :)

Umm yeah, awkward. I'll try to avoid that, lol. We're slowly introducing some information to my 13 y/o daughter. She knows a few things, like that my current hubby identifies as bisexual. She knows that our friends (my b/f, his wife and husband) form a triad and have kids together. We've had...

Thanks, Sage and Dinged. I tend to be cautious around the kids for the reasons you stated. And since my kids live with me, I don't want to stir up some custody issues, should my ex find out, and have the "Oh my God they're perverts" knee-jerk reaction, which even I, a couple of years ago, might...

Thanks, Red. It's sound advice. I guess I'm worried about prejudice, in general. I certainly don't want my kids to judge me. It's going to take some time.

Closetpoly - The way I worked around that with my husband (because our NRE caused him a lot of insecurity and jealousy at first) was to hold back the touchy-feely stuff when we are all together or to try and include him. I try to save the more tender, 'gazing into your soul moments' for times...

Telling older children... worried! Having just recently entered the ranks of polyamory, after being mono all my life, I wonder: how does one tell their teen and pre-teen children about secondary partners? We mostly see our secondaries when my kids from a previous marriage are away visiting...

Thanks, Sagency. I will try to worry less. lol. I think you might be right in that I'm over-thinking a bit, I am still adjusting to poly life, after all. And I do love Josh just as much. Nothing has changed there. I guess I (wrongly) assumed that I would love Caleb less. And well, that's just...

Does NRE still apply nearly 6 months after admitting our feelings? I'd think the "new and shiny" should be wearing off a bit. Also consider that Josh and I have not been together for like, an eternity. About 5 years in total, 2 years married.

Thank you. I will search the forum as suggested. Since I kind of fell into polyamory by accident (me finding love was never the intent), I truly do not know where it's all headed, hence the confusion. Glad to hear that a secondary partner can be loved equally. I felt kind of guilty about loving...

Hi, Any feedback would be appreciated, as I'm new to polyamory. Here is some background first. I'm a female, mid-30s. I've been pretty much monogamous until spring of last year. My bisexual hubby Josh and I opened up our marriage after much thought, because I didn't want to deny him half of...
