It really was like dating two different people. One that was sweet and loving and then another that was cold and rude and pretty mean really. One pulled me in just to turn around and break my spirit. In my case, I can eliminate him from my life now that I see him for who he truly is. With family...

Thank you Mignonne and Kevin! Mignonne - I can completely see how a couple could do this if their hearts are not in the right place. You are especially vulnerable in your situation and I'm sure always have to be on guard to protect yourself until you feel safe and comfortable with the couple...

Thank you so much and this is great advice. I wish I'd had it before I started this relationship!:) but hindsight 20/20 and another lesson in life that I will learn and grow from. I think it was a new experience and very exciting and I expected him to lead the way since he had been poly for...

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I truly believe my husband and I are meant to be poly and I was very excited about starting this with who I thought would be a great guy. Unfortunately, I think that it took me awhile to notice all of the red flags popping up and see that he...

And RumRumi... Thank you also for your reply and for making me laugh with your mixed tape comment:) I touch on acceptance at times but I've gotten lost in the anger stage much too frequently, projecting onto my husband probably too often. Also in the denial phase as well at times, thinking that...

Thank you so much for replying:) I also read your story on the link you shared. Wow! What an amazing path you've followed with no lack of difficulty. That takes a great deal of strength and resilience and big love:) Yes, I'm continuing to deal with a relationship that was likely doomed from the...

Hi everyone! New to poly (10 months) and new to forum... I think I'm just here to share and connect about my experience. I am a somewhat straight woman and have been married for 11 years and have young children...I met a man who became my friend through an activist group I was involved in. We...
