I’m glad you’ve had good responses!! So far all of mine have been, and I know there will be a fair number of positives in my family. I’ve been careful of who I’ve told because I am selecting people I know will be supportive. The worst I’ve had is “I don’t get it, but you do you,” which is kinda...

Excited to be included and meet my family, instead of just hearing stories 3rd hand. If he wasn’t excited about it I’d not even be considering it.

Thanks for this! I'll check it out!

Heck no - I would never do that! As far as holidays go, I have suspicions my step sister and her husband are in a triad with a woman named Rose... And Rose just.... Showed up one Christmas. Then a few other family events... Then Christmas again this year... And everyone wonders who Rose...

Just a bit of background. Husband and I have been in an open poly relationship for nearly 5 years. I've never had this discussion with most of my family about our lifestyle (I confide in my sister and a few select friends), but it's increasingly becoming more and more clear that I will have to...

This. I finally caught up on this thread. I am the F2. Me: F married to C (9 years), dating B, all of us kitchen table poly B: M long-term relationship to S, who is parallel poly The point B has just hit is that he can't achieve what he wants in his relationship with S and is separating. I...

That’s been my plan. I am in no way involved currently and I don’t intend to be involved in any way other than support. I’ve been very careful not to offer any opinions, and have even told him why I don’t. (All of his friends have encouraged him to leave his relationship citing abuse. I don’t...

Kitchen Table Poly: me, H, B and Pies can all sit around, play board games and get along as friends would. We could sit around a kitchen table and have a coffee. Parallel Poly: two relationships running side by side but never touching or interacting. DADT: Cell doesn’t even want to hear my...

I feel like this needs a bit of a background before I dive into the situation: Me: straight F, early 30s, married to H(usband), dating B(oyfriend) - Kitchen table Poly H: heteroflexible, M, early 30s, married to Me, dating Pies, Kitchen Table Poly B: heteroflexible, M, late 30s, long term...

Hey, sorry, I haven't logged in for a while! I joined a dating app.

I know a few people who are on really friendly terms with their ex, and I know some who do take vacations together. My DH's dad is divorced and remarried to my DH's mother, so it's a rather large and split family. We have been known to organize large camping trips that include ALL the children...

I'm in a town of 15,000 ish, but I own a business, do I don't exactly advertise that we're poly. I am about an hour away from a city, which is fortunately large.

I'm not like, overly close to any poly groups, but I do have an old friend from high school that lives in the city. We sometimes chat on Facebook. I reached out to her, and she said she knows some good groups. She's working on the next meeting, but for December she will take me and introduce me...

I am sure it is the missing ingredient - but this seems like silly advice given I am struggling to meet people. If the secret to meeting more people is to know one person and grow from there, I'm screwed - I don't have those connections.

Maybe I'll check out OKCupid. I am very interested in my career, and I tend to go to a lot of workshops, but I want to stay out of dating in that field. Besides that... wow, I'm boring. I'd love to learn how to dance.

In an attempt to get out more (good advice given to me from my other thread) I thought "Alright self. Time to start doing some shit." And while I have made that decision, the execution is... much more daunting. Where do you go? What types of groups do you go to? There's this missing part of...

I think the issue is I am in a community double the size, but everyone knows who I am. I am a business owner. Even in my field, my star is on the rise (speaking at national conventions on topics related my industry). This is GREAT for my career which I love, but I am VERY private about this side...

Because I have limited friends and even fewer people to date. Objectively, I see myself as having a lot to offer, but in the eyes of others, I am obviously valueless. I know, blah blah, you shouldn't let people judge you, whatever. I know all that. Everyone knows all that. But it's not true...

I don't think it's my ego, that's not my style. I felt probably because I was strung along, but if I had been told from the start they weren't interested I'd have been fine. I think you're probably right about being better off.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
