why thanks! So happy to be here.

A newly-awakened poly person finds success on his first date Yesterday was Halloween, which has always been a day of new beginnings for me. Though I don't practice, Samhain/Halloween has an inexplicable spiritual significance to me. This year's was another. This year was Alice's turn to go out...

Just a quick reply before the 'date' begins Yes, it definitely has, and I'm quite thankful for that. My wife hasn't seemed this sexy in years.

I've been real active on the new to polyamory topic, but I thought I'd drop in here and say hi to everyone. Still very new to everything, but as each day passes, I feel like this is the direction my wife and I were destined to go and I'm so happy about it. -M

Last night we had Jim over for some pizza and some visiting time about all three of us. The evening could not have gone any better. Not only did I feel great after our talk, but I really believe both of them felt relieved that this was not going to be awkward, because we are all three...

Thanks Redpepper Are you sure you don't have a Ph.D? :p I'm a little lucky in this situation. Alice knows this woman, and she's kind of fond of her, as well. She did in fact suggest I have her over. As for the whole energy thing and attention to the missus, I'm actually looking forward to...

Yet another update I agreed I'd keep this forum posted about the happenings of this paradigm shift. Now I'm at the end of a full week since we really, for sure, went down this path. Despite both of us having some hellish physical afflictions (I'm learning how to deal with migraines and she has...

Hey! All of those things, I get wrapped up in my interests and they all become my passions. And yes, procrastination defines us so much.

This is on my mind, evidently. I'm really trying to figure out who I can, in fact, talk to about this. My tight friends: My best guy friend just had his wife cheat on him with his brother and leave their marriage of 8 years for said brother. This guy's really not keen on open relationships...

awesome I think this might be the beginning of a working philosophy for me as I am entering this lifestyle.

I never just *realized it* I always knew, but honestly, the social stigma in my former location would not let it permeate. My wife always chalked it up to bringing other people into our lives was too complicating. Though I think both of us always were interested. What we've realized now that...

When the going gets weird... ...The weird turn pro. -HST This line has been a great description of my life so far, and this recent "shift" hasn't been any different. Again, as I think I stated in the context of the tome that was my first post, that I've learned just as much, if not more...

Thanks for the help and the humor! Roly: I was abbreviated today in my replies, as I was at work, and my first remark about being "specific enough" was because I'm a little long-winded usually. Redpepper: I really appreciate the advice. While I know this happens a lot, I didn't know many...

Thanks Really, just getting that off of my chest was a big deal. I don't have anyone to talk to about this that gets it. She does.

Clarification Thought I was specific enough... No, the restrictions of our relationship have been lifted on both sides. I would not believe it would realistic nor do I think I'd still be cool with this if the gates weren't opened on both sides. -M

My wife and I have very recently decided to become polyamorous. While the circumstances to us arriving at this point would be shocking to most people, I'm not completely shocked. But I know I have a few things that I need to come to terms with before I move much further. I'm really feeling...
