Depending on your area, as a male you probably will have a harder time of it than your wife. This is something that my husband struggles with. It may take time, especially if you haven't been on the "dating scene" in awhile. My only suggestion is that the internet is a wonderful way to initially...

Torture sounds about right. I think the OP is definitely talking about swinging. I can't imagine having a loving relationship and not being allowed to kiss them...I'm not even sure I could have sex without kissing at all.

BFTrick, I recently had a similar situation (I am the hinge of my V, tho), and I wish I had handled it as well as you and your girlfriend did.

You guys sound like such a thoughtful, loving couple. I wish you the best of luck with counseling.

I went to a Christmas party with my boyfriend and had a wonderful time. It was nice to be in a social situation as a couple with him. Usually, I feel guarded with him if we're in a remotely public place, because there is always the chance that I will have to explain myself if the wrong person...

Wow, Opalescent and RP, I hope things begin to go better for you both. :(

The only problem with being casually out (at least in my area) is that no one here knows what poly is. I had a lot easier time telling people that I was bi, because they knew what it was and it didn't need a long explanation. I think people fear what they don't know, and poly is such a small...

wow. I really enjoyed reading your story, and I'm so glad you've come to the realization that you have. Cheers!

Well, now we're all three sick. On Friday!

There is a different stigma for the different kinds of poly situations, it's true. People have called me a slut and a homewrecker, My husband is a cheating b*stard or even creepy, and my boyfriend has lost friends because they don't understand why he's dating a married woman, and he has to deal...

Man. we got out of classes last week, but I feel your pain! I turned in a total of 46 pages last week between all my classes. :( I've never written about poly, though.

When I started seeing my boyfriend too much (stupid NRE!), my husband asked me if I was trying to get "payback" for all the years that he spent time with his friends and stayed out all night while I was working/in school. I honestly don't think I'm doing that, but I did have to take an honest...

Congrats, BrigidsDaughter! Husband is sick...sort of. Poor guy was coughing all night and I think he might have a low-grade fever. I'm having some alone time with the boyfriend for the first time in a while today, then we all might hang out later. Also, went to my first "office christmas party"...

This is interesting. As of now I have my family, my friends from work/school, Husband's friends, and boyfriend's friends. I love all of them, but they are all seperate. Social circles are complicated at times.

HAHAHA! And that is how so many "discussions" go in the workplace.

To my husband: "honey, do you mind if (my boyfriend) comes over so I can do his hair?" I think that one pretty much tops my list for now.

Ah, we are pretty close, then. yay!

Because my family is HUGE and local, I literally end up with the 12 days of christmas. My husband and I have only exchanged Christmas presents once. Part of the reason for this is because both of our birthdays fall close to the holiday as well, so we just use our birthdays as our holidays, and...

Welcome to the forum! I've gotten lots of advice and support here! What part of VA are you from (NOVA or southern VA?)

I was a very bad poly person in the beginning of my relationship with the bf...I broke all the rules. :( However, we have revised the rules since I've fallen in love with the bf, and here is what we've come up with: 1. No sex with the bf in our bed 2. No intimate actions with the other guy...
