    His partners disgust me

    Wow! So much over thinking in this thread. Everyone has a concept of beauty, physical attraction. The OP is angelina jolie, her guy is brad pitt, she met his other partners expecting the same. instead she saw rosanne bar or perhaps toothless, unwashed homeless people. I'm not saying rosanne...

    Intro and question...

    *rolls eyes* I can't begin to tell you how many times I've heard the "I'm in a loveless marriage" or "we don't sleep together anymore" or "It would be messy of I left" lines used and people STILL fall for it.

    Married hubby & Wife, she has BF, flirt, sex, then Poly?

    When you issue an ultimatum be prepared for them to accept it... For the worse. Don't tell her to choose BF or marriage unless you're prepared for her to choose BF

    My heart is broken -- and I couldn't be happier

    Because we had great chemistry and we recognized something special in each other. I didn't want to write a book about all of our shared interests or everything else we did. I kept it to the exciting highlights. If she was poly I'd be in a permanent V or triad now. If I was single I'd go mono...

    A Difficult Situation... new to poly

    I agree. I can't even imagine the level of disrespect this act entails. Edit: hmmm. I quoted Nayda but it didn't include the other quoted text :-(

    vent/thinking through how to communicate hurt

    Just because he works there doesn't mean he can take liberties. In my experience it's quite the opposite. Additionally, he way not want to add any additional stress on your mom (are they close) or get in the way of the caregivers. I don't think there are additional factors in play here.

    My heart is broken -- and I couldn't be happier

    Judging the quality of a relationship based on time is something I thought most of us were beyond.

    Hopefully Jeff can be generous enough to allow you the space and time to attend to John's needs during this health crisis.

    closing the relationship

    No, you're right although traumatic might be a little strong of a description. My wife dated a few people casually while I had a deep relationship with a single partner. She was really, really shocked that I fell in love. So much so that I asked her if she even knew what polyamory was. She may...

    Married hubby & Wife, she has BF, flirt, sex, then Poly?

    I'm confused as to why this relationship would need to be taken public. It's nobody's business outside you three. Just because she's having feelings for this new BF doesn't mean she can't or won't love you anymore.

    closing the relationship

    My wife wants to close the relationship after a year of poly "testing" Its rather not. I'm going to suggest that of she's uncomfortable with me dating then we could make some adjustments. I would personally prefer that she keep dating.

    My heart is broken -- and I couldn't be happier

    Thank you Kevin. I picked up the last of my things from her house yesterday. We were very nice and all smiles. Very friendly parting. I wished her all the best. I told her to call or text anytime. The truth is, this doesn't change the way I feel about her one bit. She's still the beautiful...

    Polyamory and STI issues, an update.

    we didn't get HSV tested because planned parenthood told us the CDC has stopped recommending HSV testing (unless you have an outbreak / symptoms) because 75% of people test positive for it anyway. I'll have to dig deeper into the CDC site for the source.

    My heart is broken -- and I couldn't be happier

    wow Mags, you have quite an imagination. I'd me mad or offended at your less-than-human painting of us but it's just too funny. I appreciate sarcasm. Yes, I'm going through waves of loss and abandonment but that's completely normal at a time like this. I'm happy in the sense that I'd do...

    My heart is broken -- and I couldn't be happier

    no, I was living with her. I'm in a new city basically living out of a suitcase for a year so it was easy. it took 6 weeks before bonding & moving in happened. in hindsight that was a little fast... yeah, she was still looking for "husband" material while we were together. I encouraged her...

    My heart is broken -- and I couldn't be happier

    Yes, months. It was a whirlwind romance. The chemistry was incredible. I was very much under her spell/charms. @GalaGirl: I've known it was coming. I've prepared for this day but all I can think about is all the things I wanted to do with her, activities, weekend getaways to Toronto or NYC...
