    Heartbreak

    Partner has broken up with me after her new monogamous partner gave her an ultimatum. I am heartbroken. Hoping others have been through similar and might have stories to share or just words of support. Background: I met a girl this time last year and we became great friends. In September we...

    Beta readers needed

    Hi I’m working on a novel about a young couple opening up their relationship. I am trying to write the book I wish had existed for me - to show me it was possible, that my husband could read and enjoy (non fiction on a subject you’re not that interested in isn’t very alluring but an easy story...

    Sharing

    My husband and I have got to a generally good place thanks, partly to lockdown forcing us to slow things down. He is mono (but I think still on apps so potentially open to more if the right person came along) and I am definitely poly. He still finds it difficult though, it’s more that he...

    Me time

To explain my approach to him (and others), I use the analogy that I try to eat a vegan diet most of the time, but when there’s a really...

    I screwed up

    My husband and I have been talking about polyamory for a while and have kissed a couple of people each but nothing more. He’s decided he’s mono. On Saturday night we were at a friend’s house. Friend went to bed and I asked husband if I could join him. We have previously talked about this friend...

    Starting out as mono/poly

    Hey I’m very happily married (6 years married, 15 together, monogamously) with two children. My husband and I have been slowly exploring polyamory (at my initial request) for about two years, in which time we’ve both kissed a couple of people without issue. We’ve both read several books about...
