The mountain/the handhold Waiting now to talk to Brook. She called and spoke with Sky, then had to go for a while, but has promised to call back. They are meeting on Saturday. I guess I will not be there, but that is probably for the best. Sky didn't mention anything about how either of us...

No situation so bad it can't get worse Last night I almost lost my marriage. Sky came home from work in a furious mood. She and I fought back and forth for hours. Most of it revolved around her work and the problems there, but when I suggested that maybe our problems with Brook might be making...

To realize Last night was difficult. Sky was very upset with Brook's attempt to go around her and Hunter, and wanted to talk to her. She did and was surprised by the depth of her emotion. Anger mostly, but betrayal and hurt. She said to me she didn't want to be accusatory, but it came out that...

Without brakes, then...? It's fun to drive fast and feel the wind in your hair and watch the scenery slip by as you hurtle toward your destination. Last night was one of those hard-driving nights. We visited Brook and Hunter at their home again. He announced early on that he was "out of...

Well, it's complicated. (Could it be anything else?) Last night, the four of us met again, and Brook paid a lot of attention, read into that what you will, to Sky and me. After some time, Brook and I found ourselves in a long clutch, snuggling and whispering to each other. I worried that...

So how did a 36-year-old terribly shy straight male with only three sex partners ever (two of whom he was married to!) until last month decide together with his near-lesbian wife (Sky) to embark on a swinging adventure that suddenly blossomed into something like a polyamorous relationship? Well...

The end of the beginning So, last night, Sky and I went to visit Brook and Hunter at their home. We both were bundles of nerves and energy. Brook's idea was that this would be a non-sexual night. No play, just talk and fun. As usual, B and Sky and I had texted back and forth during the day. Our...

So yesterday was fun for a while. Brook had a little suggestion-- "Sky said I could tease you at work. Mind if I send you a few texts during the day?" Oh, why not. A series of playful, affectionate, and deeply naughty texts reached my phone. Made it all rather difficult to concentrate on the...

Our friend B is pansexual too! Lucky pans... Me: straight but not narrow male My wife S: bi, tending towards lesbian (4.5 on the Kinsey scale in her words) B, our entanglement: bi/pansexual female Her husband H: straight male, mono

Welcome Naess! Roller Derby is so cool...a friend of mine is into it (her name was DeadLeigh, LOL) and my wife wanted to get into it but a childhood injury stopped her. Seems hardly necessary to say it but...have fun! And welcome aboard again.

Yes please, YGirl. Thank you. Simply change "three monos and a poly" to "a poly-curious couple, a mono and a poly." Thanks again, ever so much. Sorry to be abrupt (at least for me) lately. Posting from a phone, often while Brook sends deeply naughty and affectionate texts. I'll just be over...

Well, I have been posting pretty extensively in the "New to Polyamory" forum, so I should probably introduce myself here. I am a 36-year-old straight male living in a small American suburb. I landed here after stints in Canada, England, and Los Angeles, so this is my settling period, I suppose...

Well, it was three monos and one poly, but now it's more like one poly, her husband, and two extremely poly-curious people (aka Sky and me)! Maybe I should petition a moderator for a thread title change.

Looking at what I wrote, I meant to say, "Sky wants me to keep my hands off Brook when Hunter is around," just to clarify. She is okay with us being physically affectionate as long as she knows about it, as am I with her.

Well, this is turning into something that I'm having trouble handling, even though I'm not trying to handle it alone. Sky and Brook met up and spent a nice friendly day together in public, with a lot of teasing affection. I think they've rather fallen for each other. Last night, Sky talked to...

Well, Redpepper, I would have agreed with you, but then last night... Sky was convinced that Brook and Hunter weren't into her, at all. I suppose that she has some serious self-esteem issues at times, and it's hard for her sometimes to view a situation in a neutral light. Last night she said...

I haven't posted an update in a while and I figured that I should now. Sky and I went back and forth on meeting Brook and Hunter again. Eventually Sky confessed that her concern was that she either might feel rejected or might lose me. I assured her that nothing could make her lose me, and that...

Yes, it is...I lived down that way for many years, but now I'm back in the States. Good to hear from someone back in Oxford!

Thanks so much FireStorm. It looks like... Sigh. I don't know. Brook and Hunter really, really want to see us again, and Sky is starting to get concerned. Sometimes she says she wants to see them again, sometimes not. I never know if the times she says she wants to see them is just in trying...

Redpepper, thanks for the dose of reality. To paraphrase Adrian Monk, being a helper personality is a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that you're a lot more empathetic, the curse is that you don't know your own mind, and you have a habit of putting yourself last. And you always...
