    Living. Learning. One Day at a Time.

    We have been together a long time. That said I have a habit of finishing her sentences for her and I am definitely working on not doing that. Also she wasn't too keen on diving into this forum. Yes, that is a fair assessment/assumption. I was concerned that her time would be split too much and...

    When she speaks of trust, I think she means that she trusts we will work together. Making sure we are both taken care of, respected, heard, and loved.

    No. No. Finney, is excited to see what comes of this. My photography is not likely to end up in any category that could be labeled "porn" but certainly "erotic". She is encouraging me to make connections as she has/is. These new connections may or may not lead to relationships that...

    Living. Learning. One Day at a Time.

    I think Finney isn't looking for the same advice/suggestions/opinions that I am looking for. She already has a close friend of 9-10 years who she has been hearing about poly from nearly that entire time. And as I've mentioned we've both had friends who were poly. She probably asked them more...

    I can't answer that on her behalf. She would have to respond (she said she is hesitant to join any forum re: polyamory). We have been talking, asking difficult questions, and sometimes getting back difficult answers. I feel closer to her now possibly than ever before. She had been closing up to...

Ultimately I want us both to be happy. I think...

    Living. Learning. One Day at a Time.

    This has been attempted and it doesn't work out. Because we seem to be unique in that we are the only ones without nearby family there is no incentive for the other couples to participate in this arrangement. We ask about it, they say "sure" but there never seems to be a time. In other words...

    A Little More. Thanks. Thank you dingedheart and I appreciate your comments. Helping me think and feel my way through this. The "loss of intimacy" more or less occurred over the past 2-yrs. During the last year my wife had some medical issues that really made her lose interest in any sexual...

    Living. Learning. One Day at a Time.

    I am looking for information, suggestions, and learning about peoples' experiences with their poly choice. I'm here not by my own choice but that doesn't mean I have been "forced". My wife of 11 years came to a realization a few months ago that she needs something else/different/more in her...
