ABSOLUTELY!! :D Permission Granted! (Felt like I had to formally say that...LOL) Schrod, well done!! TRK, good luck, again, and can't wait to see how it goes. :)

MDMA, in regards to any suggestions on how to get rid of that illness I have only one. It takes a lot of work and conscious effort on your part. Anytime you feel yourself doing that, you have to stop and say, ok this isn't going to help me how do I deal. Also, (and I say this all the time)...

Thanks for clarifying and congratulations on such a long and successful relationship. :)

Definitely seems like you've got a great grasp on this. I also commend you on your stance as far as their son goes. :) Good luck!! :)

Hi Rare. I'm not I follow you. I don't see the correlation between Living your life to the fullest, and trying to be tactful in certain situations. Please feel free to message me as I don't want to derail this thread. :)

Totally agree with you Ariakas, but that "smack" can be delivered in a fashion that maybe isn't as harsh. Believe me I'm all for telling it like it is, but I try to do so in a fashion that is more constructive than criticism and that stems from years of arguments between my wife and I. :D

While I agree with your overall post, you gotta remember that what's not acceptable for you, may be perfectly ok with someone else. Without knowing all of the history between them, how can you say what's acceptable in her life? I'm not trying to be a d-bag about this but I always find it...

As everyone said this can be dangerous, but I think you've got a good start considering you've been friends with this man for 10 years. How long have you and his wife been friends? What kind of relationship do you have with their son? That last is VERY important to think about. Gotta...

Welcome and I'm sorry you're going through this. Ariakas had a good point when he said that you just may not be poly. You can logically understand it, but it still doesn't resonate with you. THAT'S OK!!!! This is a lifestyle that's not for everyone. Now, with that said, let's move on to...

That's awesome Edward!! 20 years!!! Kudos to all three of you for being together so long and making this work. I do have one question. You said that you all have your own rooms? What are the sleeping arrangements like? Scheduled nights? These questions come purely out of curiosity and if...

Kudos again!! Such a major component to ANY relationship and SOOOO important in this lifestyle. I wanna say I see good things in your future, but I'm not a psychic friend. :P

You're right, I forgot that this is new to you and still probably difficult to understand. I don't have any kids so I won't claim to even be able to understand what a parent has to think/worry about. The comment that I was referring more to was that you wouldn't want this life for your...

I pretty much live my ideal relationship right now. My wife and I have been together for 12 years, and OUR wife has been with us for the last 2. There is only one thing that I can think that would make this even better. That would be to have our first gf as a part of our family...

My thoughts exactly. I understand that this lifestyle isn't for everyone, but out of all of our monogamous friends, the girls and I have the healthiest relationship. I know this because we're the ones that they all call when this one did that, or that one did her...yeah, that serious. As Aria...

Welcome to the forums! I'm sure you'll find lots of great information and people. :)

Red, I have to agree that was a bit harsh. Granted you said as much in your post, but without knowing all of the given circumstances of their situation it's very difficult to make some of the comments that you made. I understand that you have a great deal of experience and knowledge in regards...

Couldn't agree more!

I'm VERY sorry that you have to deal with this. I, unfortunately, have to agree with the other posters. I don't think this is a case of being poly as it is he wants to do what he wants and is going to use being poly as his excuse. Anyone that's in a successful relationship of any kind will...

I think you guys need to go your separate ways. Your new interest may be poly and that may be the way you decide to go with your life, but it doesn't seem like your hubby really is wired that way. Again, that's ok but it seems to me that the best course of action is that you and he go your...

It seems like you've done a great job of letting things just kinda happen. A lot of times we humans think too much about what's right, wrong, or indifferent. Why is she uncomfortable with you being intimate with her gf? Especially if there isn't necessarily a sexual element. I know it may...
