Galagirl- Thank you. We're actually starting counseling Wednesday and, last night, we agreed to a trial separation. WhatHappened- I'm not entirely sure I understand your point. While we did open our marriage to others, that's not a license to lie, hide, and betray your spouse.

- I don't know how to get over being betrayed (and I don't think I could, even if I did know). - I won't put up with her behavior anymore. - The issues that led to this have been identified and a session has been scheduled with a marriage counselor. - I know it's okay to end it. I'm just...

Thank you, everyone for your input. This all came crashing down about a week ago. Through all the lies and betrayal, I don't even know if we'll stay married at this point. We closed our marriage off last week, but she has continued contact with him, despite telling me she hasn't. Yes, I've...

She's actually done this in the past. Although we're new to the poly type of relationship, we've had an open marriage for awhile. She gets caught up in the newness, which I get, but she pulls away. When I ask that she balance things out a little better, she gets irritated. In the past she's lied...

Intro thread explains the start of this particular relationship: http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70810 Currently at the point where my wife and her boyfriend are in love, he openly talks about wanting her all to himself and pushes to know that she wants that too. She finally...

Hey everyone. Sorry for more questions. I really hate feeling this confused and needy. Is it typical, during the NRE, for communication to drop a bit between the primary couple? During a normal day my wife and I have always texted or she'd call me during breaks. With the new guy in the picture...

Thank you, again, Loving Radiance. Excellent explanation and, while I am pretty aware of my emotions and the cause, I've simply never thought of the warning system analogy. Great explanation.

I admit that it's likely just a perceived difference (or a real difference that is simply normal in this situation), but while she's bouncing around giddy with delight, her hugs are don't seem as tight, her touch doesn't feel as meaningful. It's like I'm just her best friend that is supposed to...

Hi, Kevin and thanks for the welcome. My main issue is just trying to accept the emotional connection between my wife and the guy she's seeing. I guess I do have the fear that the worst case scenario will occur and she'll split. Another issue I have is adjusting to the new relationship...

Thank you, Loving Radiance. I do like your approach. One of the more frustrating parts of this is that I'm very aware that my fears fall short on logic. I've spent the past few days upset with myself at having these feelings when I knew I shouldn't. I'll use your approach. I'll remind myself...

Hello, everyone. I'm Christian (name, not religious affiliation :) ) and I'm married to an amazing woman. We have been together for almost ten years, married nearly six, and non-monogamous for most of it. We started out swinging, swapping, having threesomes, and eventually playing solo in a...
