I really have to echo a lot of the initial poster's sentiments. While I cannot say I am 'mostly mono,' I am comfortable in my own decisions to search and be confident that if I don't find a poly partner, I will live. I have stated time and time again that polyamory has affected me positively. I...

TP, Mr. A, and I had our usual Thursday night dinner. TP made AMAZING shepherd's pie. Gaming, tv, etc. and it was great. TP and Mr. A have their six month anniversary this Saturday. I'm happy for them, since it's Mr. A's longest relationship ever, so TP told me. I know he makes her happy, and...

I think this is pretty poignant, and I had not thought of it in these terms; yes I assumed they were projecting their own values onto the situation but I did not consider as part of the thought process that there would be an attempt to understand through putting themselves in the position. I...

Well I can't really speak about being approached by women and having to tell them I'm married and poly, mainly because I've never been approached...that's a bit of a lament....but having had experience letting women who might have been interested know about poly I can say that none of them...

I have to give you support on this one, I had less boundaries but they were still deadset important (regarding rings, use of my bed, what's discussed) initially, some of those have laxed with discussion; but if I got resistance on any of them it would be a reg flag...from the sounds of it you...

Oh Pepper you make everything better... Back to the topic Andy I think you've got to be forthcoming with anyone you approach. I usually strike up a conversation (online predominantly) and before we get too deep into conversing I let them know I'm married and see where it goes.

Such hostility and ill mannered a reply is not necessary. As TP stated I was speaking from personal experience and a quite literal quotation of what I have been told.

Dang wife, beat me to posting. I appreciate the compliments. It's funny because listening to some of the questions TP's father and others had asked her, they were leaning to the idea that I had initiated this relationship and pushed TP into it. In fact, I was the one who finally gave the green...

Really, really interesting post. I can completely empathize and sympathize with you. Having faced much of the same derailing....women just don't want to share...I have not faced really any severe aversions to married versus a committed relationship but that's not to say that even the committed...

I'd have to echo this Poster's brilliance (and beauty ;) ) If TP had said that she expected me to be friend with Mr. A chances are I would not have been so open to meeting him. It's human nature to buck against what we are told we must do; by that rational if you force it too soon or too quickly...

So I was deep in conversation about Mr. A and TP today (she's happily napping on the couch surrounded by dogs) because she is meeting his parents tonight (incidentally if anyone knows a good way to remove a ring mark from a finger PM TP) and they are hyper-Christian so she's his girlfriend...

So happy poly moments for TP and I. Concert was phenomenal..if you've never seen Trans Siberian Orchestra, you must, most of the time I don't like live bands, I always think I could hear the same stuff on the album and not deal with people, and extra noise and expense...but they need to be...

sharing and awareness is always good.

I have access to your drinking water....don't forget that...any time...BAM! done.

Thank you Mono, the admiration is mutual. In truth, I don't like TP very much I married her more for financial reasons than anything else...so Mr. A getting her the hell out of my hair for a while is great! because some times I want to take one of those stupid pillows while shes asleep...

Am I a coward? Am I coward?...I think I might be...I have been thinking about it for days now...really a little bit since the wedding, and my anger over making one of my guests (Mr. A) uncomfortable because he couldn't really tell how he knew us. I've always been afraid of rejection, ALWAYS...

Says YOU, Wife. You've got a new role. As the wife, please refer to this: http://www.j-walk.com/other/goodwife/index.htm for the job description. :p I kid, love. TP is right about the mixed reactions. The worst I had was when a closer-than-close friend reacted badly. She went off about the...

Well it finally happened...I'm someone's husband...:) It was an amazing evening...Mr. A was there, he didn't feel it would be appropriate to sit next to TP so he sat one person over...and I wouldn't have had it any other way...he means a lot to her, and he's a good friend..so to have him there...

Well I've had some revelations, some poly, some personal...I've been reticent to vocalize these mainly due to a lack of motivation to post and a decided lack of ability to put down these in any coherent way....so here goes... TP's sense of serenity has benefited me in numerous ways....obviously...

This really does hit the nail on the head of how I feel. I've made a mental list of coming out to people and prioritized it based on how I think they will react and if I want/need them to know....I'm a list maker by personality and profession....I've come out to the two closest people in my life...
