Thank you and I'm glad that it brought you some amount of joy. This forum was a critical place for me for the first few weeks as reading other peoples stories (successes and not) helped me to A: Come to terms with the idea, and B: understand the critical issues that plague these sorts of...

Heyoo everyone I have not been up for awhile and I was recently discussing my experiences with a friend who is struggling with a similar conundrum and I thought I would give everyone an update. Since I last posted, M&M (I refer to my wife and her girlfriend this way because they are BOTH super...

Well since I cannot edit I'll list the aliases here and apologize. Next time I will do a better job. The initials are all relational to the person represented in the relationship from my perspective - since it's the perspective I have the most exposure to. Wife = My wife. GF = My wife's...

I would be happy to nycindie - but I don't seem to see an option for that. I'm somewhat experienced in forums and usually the option to edit is fairly easy to find. Any hints? :)

Hello everyone, long time no post. I've been lurking now and again but things are busy with getting the house ready for market, work, and kids. All that aside I can use some other perspectives on a situation that has developed. If interested in the longform description of my situation can read...

Thank you for the reply Polybynature. That was my consensus as well. Also - I didn't make it a "rule" I don't have that authority. I made a request and did tel her that if she felt uncomfortable with either request I would find a way to deal with my misgivings. After about a week, and after...

Thank you for posting this. I'm in the husband's position, right this moment. My wife recently came to me and explained that she needed a GF. I knew she was bi when we married. The main difference in my world is that I completely support my wife and her new GF. We do have the complication that...

Thanks Magdlyn This forum has been very helpful. It was helpful to read about others experiences and get advice from people. I think things are going to be okay and I'm just going to let things go in what feels like the natural direction. I'm going to continue to live life as a monogamous...

Well the weekend is over, and I thought I would hop back up here and post an update RQ. The wife arrived at their hotel on Friday afternoon, and she and the new GF spent the entire weekend together. I stayed home with the kids and we had a good weekend as well. Played some tabletop games with...

Wow - thanks SC - your response helped quite a bit. My wife made it clear that she is not interested in a group sex hookup and that she was strictly there to meet friend. Friend replied back that No, group sex is not on the table and H&GF would be spending time together. Perhaps hubby is there...

Thank you again everyone for the additional replies. My wife is very aware of the DH situation and I trust her not to put herself into a situation in which she is compromised. She has myy every confidence. Ariakas is absolutely right. I'm going to focus on just making a few friends in the poly...

Holy shit - this is one of the most raw and real things I have ever read. I teared up on a number of occasions and I feel for all three of you. Just wanted to post and tell you your story has had a real impact on how I am examining my own families move to opening up and how I'm dealing with it...

Thank you for that because that makes a lot of bloody sense. I think I'd like to just build some new friendships with poly friendly/knowledgeable people and see where things go. My current circle of friends only includes a single person I know is poly and we've kinda drifted apart with my...

I'm in a similar boat. My wife will be going on her 1st (ever) Polydate in a couple weeks. Due to the distances involved, she and her friend are meeting for the first time in a remote location and if things click, will be spending the weekend together. Intimacy is expected and I am pretty good...

Thanks everyone for your responses. I see very good points in all of them. I keep starting a reply and then having to start again because of a new post. If you replied and I miss addressing you directly I apologize but know that I did read and appreciate your response. I suppose I am a bit...

So I have a question for the rest of you. Many of you already likely know my current situation. If not you can read bout it here. To sum up, my wife is Bi and has recently felt the strong need for female companionship. This has led her to ask for an opening of our marriage so that she may...

Speaking as a man just entering the multiple partner phase of a relationship with my wife of 15 years. (She is the one who initiated our path into Polyamory). I absolutely HATE the "It's a guy thing." trope and I hate even more when guys buy into it! It completely dismisses the fact that we...

So an update. The wife and I had a couple conversations since yesterday. This mornings conversation was the longest and very productive. I told her that I had been feeling very awkward recently about mu OPP request. I explained I had been speaking with some other people in similar situations...

Glad that I made sense and you found the comment useful. :)

Thanks Kevin The wife and I have had a couple conversations around the topic since that post (we're very communicative) and I think everything is working out. I'll update the post when I have a chance :)
