I agree completely. Don't "trap" yourself with mono thinking. After 25 years together in a mono relationship my wife and I had a very satisfying Poly relationship for about 5 years. It all boils down to communication. IThink

Given the magical opportunity to "turn back the hands of time" to any age I wished for I would choose 40. Not 20 or 30...but 40. My 40's were fantastic years, young enough to handle anything I needed to, old enough to know what I DID NOT need to handle, experienced enough to miss a lot of the...

Welcome to the forum. I am new to the forum but not new to Poly. Very interesting post for an introduction. One comment if I may. Love is easy, it's the rest that gets complicated. IThink.

WOW! Two new members from the Edmonton area in one day, what are the odds? Anybody? Sheldon...??..you out there? Sorry for my twisted sense of humour and welcome aboard. We are new members as well and so far have really enjoyed the forum. Hope you enjoy the forum as well. IThink.

Hello Mitch and welcome aboard this somewhat unconventional lifeboat. We are from the Edmonton area as well and I believe there are a couple more Albertans on the forum as well. IThink.

Personally I do not believe Jealousy exists. Jealousy is only Fear and Ignorance competing for space in your brain. Fear: What will I do if he/she leaves me? It will hurt so bad if I lose him/her. I don't want to lose everything we have worked for so long. I don't want my trust to be broken. ad...

I'm kinda with SomeGeezer on this one. It's a shame things didn't work out for the three of you but it would be cool to maintain a friendship. Poly people are not exactly a "dime a dozen" so just having someone as a friend that you could talk openly with about Poly topics would be great imho...

I think, therefore I am. Rene Descartes I loved, therefore I will always be. Me.

Ummm..at the risk of hijacking the thread and perhaps sounding like a bigger ass than I really am... ALL wounds, physical, emotional and mental, should heal with time and proper care. If they don't you should seek professional help. IThink.

For me, the definition of polyamory is the answer to your question. Many loves; love being the operative word. If we (we are a couple again) find one more person and fall in love, then we'd become a V or triad, depending on orientation(?). If by some miracle we found another person that we all...

It sounds to me like you and your partner need to do a whole lot more communicating before either of you progress into a polyamorous relationship. IMHO, when you, as a couple, move toward polyamory, both of you should feel absolutely secure and comfortable in the knowledge that, no matter what...

Thank you, everyone, for your comments. Our time together was fantastic and will always live in me as one of the highlight experiences of my life. We have talked extensively about being "out," and there are no easy answers. We are by nature VERY honest people, and to carry on an important...

"To love someone deeply gives you strength Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage" Lao Tzu. Cheating hurts the cheater as much as the cheated. The lies are a double edged sword that cuts both ways. The cheated bleed the blood of trust...

When I am feeling REALLY stressed out and/or depressed I wait until bedtime then go into my room, close the door and put on a CD of Kyle Councillor traditional flute music. (native North American wooden flute) I turn the volume just so it can be comfortably heard then drift off to sleep. I think...

As a new member myself it probably isn't my place to say "Welcome" but I can say "Hello". :) Reading your post and what your friend said about 'Why can't you have both?" reminds me of a conversation my wife and I had a long time ago when we were discussing having an open marriage. I said to her...

A VERY new person on this forum, but not new to poly. I read this thread with great interest, as we lived as a MFM triad for almost 5 years. I always considered us to be VERY lucky, because of our unique situation, in that we had two homes in the same farm yard. We were also very lucky in...

Hello All, While I am a newbie to this forum I am not a newbie to Poly or forums in general. I must admit to being somewhat staggered after bumping into this forum. To find so many people who’s minds are on the same page or at least similar books is, for me, comparable to standing at the edge...
