It looks like it went much better than my poly talk. My poly talk went terrible, we didn't speak for like 2 days and when we finally spoke, nothing was resolved. In fact it's kind of put us in awkward place, but we're working through it. I feel that now at least I got it out there, so my...

Thanks, that's a good idea. That's what I will do if and when the time comes.

I appreciate your reply, as harsh as it was.....LOL......I just wanted to clarify some things. When I said that I was insulted, I meant that when we actually tried to sit down and talk about the letter after 2 days of silent treatement, he refused to listen. He wouldn't let me explain anything...

I didn't agree to give up anything. Given the fact that he didn't really respect me enough to at least listen to what I had to say and look at the information that I had gathered, I feel in no way obligated to do anything. If he had chose to handle it in a different manner, then I would...

At this time, yeah I guess I am willing to give it up. Maybe in the hope that time will be my friend. Sometimes people need time for things to take hold and then they can gradually accept them. I'm not sure if that will be the case, but it's also worth a try. I will continue to try an educate...

No, I won't be happy in this situation as is. It's rather frustrating, because basically my "random" hook ups that he agreed to can't interfere with our schedule together. And we're pretty much together all the freaking time except for when I go to grad school. So guess what, I will be going...

Well after 2 days of not talking, we finally talked. The poly thing was not well received. He said he couldn't condone me seeing other people, but if I saw other people without him knowing he didn't care. Then I asked,"What happens if I see someone and get caught cheating." He said, "I...

Well I explained the situation to my partner of 10 yrs that I wanted to open up the relationship via an email and for him to talk when he's ready. That was earlier today and he hasn't said anything since. We have a mutual friend that is flying in tomorrow and he refuses to see him, because in...

The letter is written, think I put a lot of thought and love into it. Tonight before I go to bed I will email it and wait for his response. Wish me luck!

It's not completely out of the blue as I have been researching it for school for quite some time and have talked about other couples who have agreed to this. They are articles on the subject all over the house. This conversation could go either way, as we have fooled around in the past with a...

Just curious....Is it like totally chicken shit if I use a short letter to break the ice??

After posting on here and talking to a few friends about my situation, I have decided to have "The Poly" conversation with my partner. I have been a little hesitant, which I thought was kind of normal, you know embarking on a new path of life. My friend said that I shouldn't be this nervous...

Is being poly a need for you? To answer your question, is poly a need for me. Since I have never been able to experience a true poly relationship, I don't know. Based on my history, I do know that I have never really been exclusive to any one person. I like connecting with multiple people on...

Yeah, I know I need to have that conversation, but I'm just trying to figure out how to bring it up. I have left literature around the house, but I don't think he thinks too much about it, because I'm studying this stuff in school. My therapist said he's just playing "willful ignorance", which...

Where to start. I'm a male and have been with my partner who is a male for 10 yrs. We are 37 yrs apart. I am 33 and he is turning 70 in a couple of months. When we met I had a boyfriend of one year, but ended up leaving my boyfriend for him. We have never really been "completely" monogamous...
