Redpepper, big hugs to you. You're very strong...I don't know if I will ever be able to tell my parents. Sigh.

Hi HoneyBee.

Hi Sammi, welcome. I'm fairly new as well and I am love with two men, my husband and a new boyfriend of ours. This is new to all of us and I never realized there would be so much to consider. This is not the easiest lifestyle to live, I'm finding, but I've read some good examples in this group. :)

Dave, I'm Trish and new to this also. You can read a bit more about me here... http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=704 Anyhow, something that I shared with my husband about this lifestyle (I'm the one who's done all the research and reading, thus far), is that in my opinion, it...

Do we have the same parents??? Redpepper, I can relate completely. I'm sick of it too and really don't put up with it any longer. It's their life and they have to lead it the way they choose; without my involvement in the drama.

Fidelia, thank you for your kind words. They nearly brought tears to my eyes. I know that more than anything, the children come first. Never having felt that I came first in either of my parents lives, I would never, not even contemplate, getting in the way of that for Wayne or anyone that I...

I feel the same way about our new love, Wayne. You took the words right out of my mouth.

Hi, Kinkyshoes. Yes, that is exactly one of the main reasons we love him. His devotion is admirable and amazing. Especially these days, where many divorces leave the children without either parent. I was a product of that and I wouldn't respect him if he did that to his. Wayne just seems to be a...

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I just don't want to be the one to give him that advice. That may seem or be perceived as a selfish opinion. I can only hope he'll figure out the right thing to do for him and his children.

Thank you DarkHorse. I'm not really seeking advice, at this point. I just needed to let it out to people who could understand. Thank you for your thoughts. :)

As soon as I decide to post an introduction of myself to everyone, and share a bit about my interest in polyamory, based on a new love in our lives, a monkey wrench gets thrown in. Our new love, Wayne, has four children under the age of 12, and his ex Bev has suddenly decided that she wants...

Thank you Redpepper, for sharing this. I'm just at the beginning stages of a possible poly-relationship and it's nice to read about what the future may hold for us, should we choose to 'come out'. That is thinking way, far into the future but I always like to ponder things from all perspectives.

That was quite lovely. Thanks for sharing in such detail.

That's a great point Mono. I have barely contemplated what we would have to deal with in coming out as a triad to our friends and family. Something I know that our new friend, W, has to consider is his four children. They're all 14 and younger and his ex is difficult for him to deal with. It is...

Red, thank you for sharing that. Most of all you've stated has already run through my mind. I question myself and sanity daily, hourly, at times. But I figure I wouldn't be normal if I didn't question myself due to the training of societal norms in our culture. I am completely open with my...

Thanks Fidelia! :)

I know, seems so soon. And it might be, which is why I had to type it. Outside feedback can be extremely beneficial at times. :)

Hi everyone, I'm Trish. I'm new to the forum and still trying to figure out my place within the Poly lifestyle. I've been working on an introduction but it's so long it's turned into more of a story of my life. Sheesh! In an attempt to introduce myself in a shorter, more acceptable message...
