    Poly/ Mono Relationship- Advice Thread

    I'm coming from his side in this scenario. I was recently "surprised" by someone after learning she had a LDR with a FWB which totally caught me off-guard. She didn't clue me in early enough for my comfort level, and I've been working through a bit of a "breakdown" myself. Lunabunny's question...

    Advice please - new gal interested in poly, but I'm uncertain

    Let's call her RayRay or RR to keep it even simpler. Yep, she's there. I was pretty anxious all of last week, leading up to her departure. I was able to fall into the "come what may" attitude pretty quickly. There have been moments of being pissed that I'm in this situation, followed by...

    Virtually everything on that last post is accurate. Thank you for helping to articulate. Especially this... Not so much this though... At least, I'm bringing this into question. I have pre-conceived notions and a history with monogamous relationships that lead me to believe I may be trying...

    Advice please - new gal interested in poly, but I'm uncertain

    I'm nearly there. I also recognize some toxic junk that I'm bringing to this, that I feel the need to sort through. Not just for her sake by any means. I see my issues as potentially problematic in the future, so a bit unfair to her if I completely turn and walk.

    Advice please - new gal interested in poly, but I'm uncertain

    I do have a decent understanding of what her idea of a primary is. It's not unreasonable to me, as exclusivity is on the table (for me, and she get's value out of), and exploration possible (for her, and I may have fun) Her fling started when he was out of state, and is likely to remain so for...

    Thanks again for the continued support and thoughts to consider as I wrangle with all kinds of new emotions, ideas, and concepts in a sort time. I've come back to this so many times for moe views and reminders. It's really helped! To put it or there for clarification, I'm a 36yo man, straight...

    ****** UPDATE ****** First of all, I can't thank you all enough for the willingness and ability to help me clearly evaluate my situation. I just finished a conversation with her that was very enlightening. More details below, but I must give credit where credit is due. While I may have been...

    Advice please - new gal interested in poly, but I'm uncertain

    Yes, I think you've summed it up pretty well. I have a pretty passive approach in general, and can put my own feelings aside. This is definitely something that I've struggled with and DO need to work on. I appreciate the words of encouragement. This is the perfect time for me to work on putting...

    Advice please - new gal interested in poly, but I'm uncertain

    To set the stage, we've been dating only a month. Things in the bedroom are fun and exciting! She's even expressing interest in opening the relationship up! I've not done that, but have a decent understanding of what it means, and the level of honesty and communication required for it to work...
