I don't see a problem with developing a deeper friendship with this woman. A friendship is a prerequisite to a relationship in your case, I'm guessing. Just be sure to be fully honest with her should you wish to pursue a relationship later on. She can make her own decisions providing you give...

Good for you both. I'm sorry Dahlia can't be a full part of this, but some people just can't. I wish you the best in this journey you are taking together.

Congratulations. I'm happy for you!

A broken heart is a broken heart, no matter what else we have in our lives to pick us up. But, it is unhealthy to be almost obsessed over a person, for whatever reason. I hope this doesn't come to hurt your relationship with your husband. That being said, Elric had a big shock from you. Maybe he...

Lily, it took alot of courage on your part to come this far and to post here yourself. So don't discount your own strength and ability. Arpeggi is a lucky man to have a woman who loves him enough to try, regardless of the eventual outcome. Also, what vandalin said.

Welcome

Personally, I feel it's in my nature to love deeply multiple people. Just as it is in my nature to be bisexual. However, I can choose to act (at least in the physical sense as I have no control over the depth of emotion) on these feelings. I can choose to be monogomous. I can choose to cheat. Or...

For me, polyamory has always been my nature, though I repressed it and usually ended up cheating anyway. I knew from very young I was capable of multiple loving relationships, just as I knew I was attracted physically and emotionally to other women (also long repressed). It was only through alot...

For me, it really depends on the person and situation. Most people tell me I'm empathetic. If I have feelings for someone, be they family ties, love or friendship, I am much more empathetic. To children I am empathetic most of the time, because they just strike that nerve in me. With people I...

Does the BD know about your situation? If you're not going to be in the closet anyway, perhaps it's best to talk it over with him and get his feelings on the matter. If you have a decent enough relationship and he knows you're a good parent maybe you can have him sign some legal documents...

I just want to add that you shouldn't allow anyone to degrade you for your way of loving. You didn't use, lie to, cheat on, or intentionally hurt either of these women. You allowed them to be with you with their eyes wide open, even if their hearts could not fully accept what you can and cannot...

Welcome and congratulations. You seem to be coming into this with the right attitude and mindset. Your wife is a lucky woman.

Your partner needs to know who the "other" is, as being poly and having a successful relationship depends on complete honesty. And, I agree, they should meet.

This is such a sad situation. You seem to genuinely love these women and I wish you didn't have to feel this pain. The closest to your situation I've ever come was dating two men in my twenties, one my ex-fiance and another one I fell in love with at work. The ex-fiance, Art, didn't know the...

Hello and welcome

Dragon? It's a mythical beast but sounds more manly? Phoenix?

Badeth, why are you on this board if you oppose polyamory? And your signature about Michigan divorce laws... Hmm...? Maybe you have good reasons, but I find it strange.
