Only your husband could say for sure, but it sounds poly to me. The lack of communication on their part doesn't sound good. Perhaps one of them doesn't want to admit to themselves what is actually taking place. Still, I have no idea what their situation is, so I can only add so much input. Just...

I could have mis-read it. Sounded like he really wants a monogamous relationship.

If your GF is truly Poly, you will not make her happy by forcing her to be in a monogamous relationship. Forcing a non-monogamous person to lead a monogamous lifestyle is incredibly insensitive and selfish. It is like putting a salt water fish in fresh water. It is not an elephant, it is who...

My GF and I have an open relationship. The first time she met someone I felt a little funny about it. She then met a couple of others and that didn't affect me at all. Granted she didn't get interested in any of them, but I have become increasingly more confortable with our own relationship...

I love skiing! One day I was out skiing and listing to music. My telemark skiing was just coming together that day for the first time. I was having a great time and I felt like I was dancing on the snow!

Society changes painfully slow and not always in the direction you want it to go. The most important changes are always the ones you make within yourself.

Couldn't say anything any better than this! Well written with much wisdom.

Hello Mag! Straight man, 55 y.o., unmarried and have a primary straight GF. We're new to this and learning.

I think I'm somewhere in the middle of both worlds. I want to be free to have sex and relationships with people I care about. I don't want to sleep with people I don't care about. I want to be free to pursue more than one relationship if I choose, and I don't want to be told I can't have a...

Bravo! Well said! :)

Thanks for sharing your story. It takes a lot of maturity and courage to have a good poly relationship. At 55, I'm just now getting to the point where I can handle one. It would have been great during my hormonal years; unfortunately, I just wasn't knowledgeable or mature enough to do it on...

I read your new member post. Where are you located?

Right now I think I'm just looking for more companionship, someone who can be there when I need her and can do things with me. I have a wonderful girlfriend who lives a couple of hours away. We get together on weekends when we can, but the 4-hour round trip is rough. Also, she has kids at home...

And thank you very much for that!!!! Take Care Snow

I'm OK, I was just apologizing for getting a little sensitive initially. We're good. Take Care! Snow

Thank you. When I was a young man/old teenager, I didn't understand why more friends weren't having sex. Now I understand about how society influences us and that relationships get very complicated. Ah, to be young and naive!

Thank you Meera! I was wondering what happened too! I'm just sort of figuring things out as I go along. Sounds like you might be at about the same stage as me so I thank you for your thoughtful insights and empathy. Thanks for the big welcome! Snow

OK, here is what I'm seeing. There is every possibility she may be mono. That is the way people are groomed in the USA. Don't push her to be poly. Reward her for allowing you your poly lifestyle. Be patient with her as she is trying to adjust. Thanks for your post. It may help me to deal...

I am glad I am reading your post today. My girlfriend just agreed to having an open relationship and she is already freaking out. I think all we can do is to love them more, be patient and go at a pace they can handle.
