Kitchen table poly is the bees knees, if it works for you. My fav times are when all of us get to hang out together, or when I go to sleep listening to Joe and P laughing/talking :) When we lived separately making time for each other was definitely less trivial.

My perspective: I opened up me and my husband's relationship for another guy we are both really good friends with. As erratic as your girlfriend's behavior is, I can totally understand it (even if it's unfair that she wants you to remain mono). I went back and forth a lot before opening things...

They both knew I would be in grad school when they met me. They actually moved out to CO because that's where I decided to go to school, so they definitely know how important this is to me. It helps that boyfriend is a couple years younger than me, so kids aren't on his mind. My husband has...

I am chronically disorganized. Calendars seem to be a theme on this thread lol I'm taking notes this sounds awesome :) they're definitely both there for me like this which I really appreciate. It helps that both of them work in healthcare soI feel very taken care of. honestly, I think I put...

This lol. School is flexible so I make a lot of adjustments. We all live together and have different schedules so it's really tempting when I come home and one of them wants to do something, stay up to watch a movie, etc. to say "Yeah sure why not!" but I find myself saying yes way too much. I...

I feel like being a hinge can be a lot to juggle. I'm getting my PhD right now and just maneuvering adult life in general; my goals, dreams, hobbies, making friends, etc. and there are times when having two relationships feels overwhelming. How do hinges out there keep their entire lives from...

yep!

YES worth it, if it's something you know you really want and are willing to work (i.e. communicate and listen) for. That's not to say you won't have rough patches, and depending on who you and your partner are it will take time for things to not feel so dramatic as far as jealousy, etc. I say it...

Yes! I have virtually no relationship with P's family right now, and because Joe and P's sister are both nurses and hung out for a couple years before Joe and I started dating it has been much easier for him to cultivate a relationship with her. We all live far away now and I don't even know if...

started using joe and peanut! sorry about that. It's not so much the thinking she hates me part; the fact that joe is close with her has me focusing on my relationship with her more.

Yeah, although I have met his family I am still realizing they are not as close as say, my family or Joe ("J's" official name from now on! My bad for using letters lol). It's taking time to figure out what parts of our relationship are like that because we're poly and what parts would be that...

There for sure is, I've posted before but sometimes am unsure how much I should repeat every time I post so sorry for that

She definitely knows that at one point we were more than friends, but P has not told her anything since about a year ago. I do think his family is pretty formal, but J is super sociable ... so she's been getting closer and closer with J ever since she stopped dating J's friend but we still don't...

Lol I know the title is super dramatic but that's how I'm feeling. Today I woke up and J (husband) was texting P(boyfriend)’s sister a playlist that he made for her, and they text all the time. (context: P’s sister dated a really good friend of J’s and that’s how they know each other. They’re...

Hi Jason! I'm also in Colorado! I'm sure you'll find lots of good info on here. The poly part of my relationship is also relatively new. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*✲ﾟ*｡⋆ welcome to the forum ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Hey Kevin! Yeah P had expressed concern when I mentioned it to him, i.e. he didn't want to rock the boat by asking to go on this trip but I figured that's dumb, if we never do a solo trip then... we'll never do a solo trip lol

Thanks Magdlyn! Yeah I was worried he would be jealous just because me and P haven't gone on a trip just us before. When I asked J about it I also proposed we go on a date next week :) It went way better than I thought it would

This is exactly what happened lol. My husband was actually appreciative that I don't have to drive alone :)

Hello! I have to drive to Salt Lake to get my scuba certification, and was really wanting my bf to accompany me (it's an 8 hour drive each way, I'll be diving both days I have to drive so I'll be pretty tired). J (husband) is working, but P (bf) conveniently has off. Does anyone have...
