Well the big weekend has come and gone, thought I’d give everyone an update. Everything’s still standing, nothing burned down, world still spinning, etc. I definitely feel a little winded and things are definitely complicated, just not for the reasons I was anticipating. “Bree” came up late...

‘Constant’ perhaps was the wrong word to use. I mean to say we’ll be actively trying our best to check in and see how we’re all doing. I used to have a mild to moderate panic attack if I didn’t get an updated from her every hour or so. I’m well past that at this point, all I ask is the...

Okay so we’re getting down to the wire here. Just wanted to say again how much I appreciate everyone’s input. Tomorrow my Girlfriend and I are going to sit down and very meticulously talk about the upcoming weekend. Plans, schedules, hopes, anxieties, fears, points of concern, points of...

All solid advice, thank you. We have discussed sleeping arrangements at length at this point. Bree will be sleeping in the guest room and while we aren’t exactly planning out a cuddling schedule, it’s generally understood that my fiancé will be coming to sleep with me in the main bedroom. I’ll...

Rings may or may not be being actively researched and saved up for (shh). From what I know, which is a combo of secondhand information and firsthand conversations, Bree is actually surprised we haven’t gotten married sooner and perhaps is even a little exasperated with us, in a kind of ‘omg you...

Tentatively that’s kinda the plan. It helps to know that everyone involved is just as nervous as me. We’re thinking that we’ll all meet up at first, maybe get food or something. Then I’ll go off and do “Something” else for a good couple of hours and give them a chance to catch up and have sex...

I honestly had no idea how much detail I should have gone into about my last posts but hank you so much for the reference point! I did mean it sincerely when I said I wanted to be more active on here, but, well, life happened. We moved, got our first apartment, I got a new job, promptly left...

It’s a two bedroom and she’d be staying for both factors of convenience and cost. None of us are exactly rolling in cash and they both kinda want to experience just a casual domestic weekend together, rather than a vacation. The three of us have spent time together, gradually more so lately. I’m...

Okay wow I just wanted to quickly thank everyone who’s chimed in, as well as apologize for my lack of prompt reply. We had a lot of serious drama the day after I posted this, a family member in the hospital, a sister with serious marital issues, sick pets, broken down cars, and unsafe...

Hi all. So I’ll try and link on some of my past posts of that will help people, as our situation is a bit complicated. A quick run down: My fiancé is polyamorous, I myself am not. We have been together a little over five years now, but she’s only been ‘actively’ poly while with me for the past...

Thank you again to everyone who’s taken the time to read and reply. It’s been a whirlwind of a last few days, lots going on, lots to deal with, lots to learn on both sides. What I get into here is by necessity pretty lengthy, just a warning in advance for my wall of text. I once again spent...

This is, if my wall of text wasn’t obvious, a bit of a sticking point for me. To perhaps be a little more clear, this isn’t entirely motivated by any desire on behalf of either one of us for me to explicitly be hanging on baited breath, happy and eager to hear *all* the details. On the one...

Hi all. I’ll do my best to give a brief and simple summary of the situation I and my girlfriend are in. We’re each 26, we’ve been dating for almost five years now but we’ve known each other almost our entire lives. Some things about me: I’m Mono, and she is my only every partner. She has had a...

Thanks! We’ve known each other since we were kids, and if either of us could manage to land a steady job we’d be married by now. Oh well, what’s another year right? She informed she she was bi and poly early on. We started dating when I was going through some personal stuff, we both were really...

Thanks for the advice! I’m sure everyone and every combination of couple or couples is different. But for us personally, all parties seem to agree (my gf informed me my ’metamors’ feel this way too) that we’d all feel more comfortable if I meet them and if they meet me. It’s just our personal...

Thank you very much for the welcome! I know it’s a small thing, but just getting a welcome from a community that’s experienced in this really does wonders for my nerves. And you’re right on that front, right now my biggest issue is nerves. No matter how much we talk, no matter how openly and...

Hi all! So I’ll try to be as concise as I can be with my situation: My girlfriend and I have been together for almost five years now (woo hoo!) But we’ve only just recently started exploring polyamory. I’ve known that my girlfriend is poly since we started dating, but I’m very much monogamous...
