As a (sort of) newbie, I am finding this out more and more every day.

I'm glad the meeting went well for you!

I've since realized that. I'm glad I took the time to think all this through and talk about it with you all. :)

I won a really cozy blanket from a raffle I entered.

wow, what an encouraging success story for married polys. :) congrats!

For me it was about a month and a half. My boyfriend is a mono, though, and my husband and I haven't ever had another male in our relationship. It was strange for everyone, but once they met, they acted like old friends. I love my guys! :) If your secondary has already experienced poly...

Hmm... good point. Jen shouldn't be passive aggressive with you, but she is going through a major life change right now, and you also have the power to disconnect yourself from the situation.

That is a roller coaster! I'm glad your metamour (don't know if its the right word?) has been so supportive of you and your relationship, that always makes things easier. I wish you all the happiness in love, and welcome!

I'm with Annabel on this one. You can't let the situation continue like it is. If Jen doesn't want you to have any contact with Ed, why doesn't she just call off the situation? I'm sorry for the frustration you're feeling. :(

My husband would rather I suppress PDA when we're all out together as of right now....like i said we're all new to this. I get your point about him being a friend, too. We live in a pretty conservative area, so I guess he doesn't really want to spend the evening explaining, either...I didn't...

DH and boyfriend get along great, and we can all be together without any awkwardness. I've only been dating my bf for a little over 2 months, so I'm wanting to take this slow as far as integrating him into our lives in any way. However, there is an event this week that we all want to attend...

Oh, I misunderstood. sorry.

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like the experience my husband and I had with our first gf. I'm bi and we just sort of formed naturally. I didn't know about poly at the time. She got jealous of me around my husband, tho, so we broke up after a couple of months. I wish I had known about the...

I struggle with feeling selfish in my situation, too. Sometimes I get into the thought cycle of "I already had one man who loves me...and now I have TWO?, some people don't have anyone..." realize that both you and SRP deserve love and happiness, ask SRP what he wants and needs, and compromise...

Hey I'm in West virginia, too! Welcome to the forum!

what an amazing family you have, annabel. :) As an update, my boyfriend and I have been moving along with my husband and me to create more a more comfortable situation for all of us. We sat down and had a long discussion the other day. Basically, my boyfriend wanted to let my husband know that...

Like nycindie said, we need some more information about your situation. However, my husband and I have a system for spending time with my boyfriend. In general I don't cuddle/touch either of them when we're all together, mainly because its relatively new to us, and we're still testing...

I am so happy for you! I have dreams of this happening...congrats!

Having just "ventured out" earlier this year from trying to be monogamous for several years with my husband, I can't say that I had any jitters. It felt totally natural for me. My husband has had those jitters, though, and he often feels weird going with his new (girlfriend? not quite there yet)...

I am experiencing the same thing with my bf/husband right now! It's like I have NRE when I'm with either of them! @ the OP, you are definitely not alone, and I wouldn't let anyone else determine what is "possible" or "impossible" to feel about someone else. Rather, what is the best way to...
