Welcome to the party. I hope you find exactly what you were hoping for here.

Ok. No need for apologizing for lack of clarity in your state of mind. It's understandable. I just thought it would be easier to ask so we could better relate to/advise/offer support. First, (and I should have said this before) this situation just plain sucks and I am so sorry you are left...

Before I put in my two cents, I needed some clarification. Are you practicing POLYAMORY or SWINGING? In polyamory there is a deeper connection than sex. It involves multiple loves who share in your life as well as your bed. The attachments are primarily emotional and the sex, while tied in, is...

Welcome.

I wouldn't consider myself and "artist" but others seem to. Apparently I'm "more talented" than I give myself credit for? My art has always been more a hobby than anything I'd consider making a living off of. My mediums have been diverse through the years and have changed back and forth...

I think some jealousy, fear, and insecurity is normal from time to time with any human being. It isn't about just turning it off. It's about learning how to handle it productively. There is something about your situation that has nagged at me from day 1 though. (And this is only me and...

It sounds as if your wife is the one who has not gotten over the cheating, not you. She seems to still be feeling guilt and projecting it on you. If SHE still doesn't like herself and hasn't forgiven herself how could YOU possibly have? To a point, I understand her perspective. I cheated on my...

In many cases, polyamory is even MORE taboo than cheating. I could never understand that either.

I'm sorry this is happening. In my marriage and any other relationship we might open to, we have always said our children are our primary relationship. So I understand his desire to be in their lives more. But, as a product of parents who SHOULD have divorced, I can't understand staying...

I meant pretty much what rarechild spelled out ever so much better. I was rushing around when I replied. Please...introduce yourself further and share some details and get comfortable. People here are wonderful.

Welcome. What do you mean by "exploring with two females"? :confused:

From what you said, it seems that Trish and Karen have a very unbalanced relationship, with Karen calling all the shots and Trish left unhappy. Are they into poly relationships, or is the open relationship model about sex only and not emotional attachment? Perhaps the emotions Trish feels for...

I don't see unicorn hunting as such a terrible activity. If they want to hunt, let them hunt. If a unicorn doesn't want to be found she won't be. But then, I don't hunt myself. I find if you search you miss so much that doesn't fall into your exact specifications but could work wonderfully...

Mono knows all.

I'm sorry NotPolly. The poly lifestyle is really not for everyone. And it can be crushing when you love someone who is polyamorous knowing you can never be. But you probably did the best thing for the both of you. He is free to love as he is meant to and so are you. Neither of you would have...

Not too much lube. She might slip out of the restraints.

How true. You have a friend who doesn't "believe in" bisexuality? :eek: That's just so weird to me. I can't wrap my mind around NOT believing in it. But then, I believe in unicorns and centaurs (that would be my vote for the HBG-hot bi guy) as well.

LMAO I'm not talking REALITY here. I'm talking PORTRAYAL of the gay/bi man. Look at TV, movies, magazines, porn...etc. They're just not portrayed as "manly". I don't care if there are more masculine and more feminine men as sexuality and personality run the gamut. But you never see the manly...

I'm glad you have come out and are feeling better. However, I do feel bad for your wife in this situation. This is a big deal. If you and she don't want a divorce, take it slow and talk everything out. Put off any other relationships for the time being until you get the issues of the first...

Most societies are patriarchal. Men (you know REAL men-the hetero, hunting, red meat eating, smoking, drinking, cowboy-soldiers :rolleyes: ) enjoy seeing two women have sex. I think many also feel these women just need a REAL man. Look at mainstream porn. The lesbian or bi women are forever into...
