He wanted both of us romantically, and we are both bisexual. As for being "burned", in the end of Jack's prior poly relationship, he had proposed to his GF and after that she (to put it nicely) went off her rocker pretty much just using him. To this day, he hasn't given every specific detail...

And to follow up, I do believe (and I think you guys will agree) that I have fallen into the trap of the stigma on what poly truly means. Rereading this entire thread, I have no one to blame but myself in the end.

Thank you for that. From the responses I have been given, it sounds like I've been going about this the wrong way. I do trust her judgement, so I'll have a sit down with her tonight. You have all really helped me understand everything.

With what was just said, I can understand everything a bit more clearly. Our common ground (the triad) worked perfectly with Jack, so when this happened... I stood back and said to myself "what exactly is going on? My head is spinning right now." Up until this thread, I thought it was just...

Thank you for this response. This has really opened my eyes, honestly. The point of us wanting to meet the third party, for all intents and purposes IS to protect each other. Please don't get me wrong, I'm in no way, shape or form trying to constrict her because I know she needs her freedom...

Jane and I had a long conversation about it this morning. We have all come to the agreement that her and Lilly's first meet will be purely social since they have never met. Once I meet Lilly and talk to her more, I'll have a clearer picture and assess the situation. They had planned on...

I do apologize for the confusing post, everyone! I definitely should have expanded everything in a bit more detail. This reply will include all the details. We shall call my GF Jane, the new person Lilly, and the former lover Jack. I should have stated why I couldn't make it. I am unable to...

Thank you for the warm welcome! :)I am looking forward to be joining this group.

My girlfriend had met another polyamorous person online a few months back and will be meeting up with her in a few weeks. Unfortunately, I will be unable to make the trip. The potential third party never contacted me until last night, so I don't know her at all. Anyway, my girlfriend and I...

Hey everyone! I'm from Northern VA. My girlfriend and I had a discussion, and we decided to try polyamory about a year ago or so (we've been together for eight years). Things have been quite interesting to say the least, especially because I was (possibly still am) monogamous and she has...

Grope, make out. That's all I was told.

My girlfriend (who I'll call Anne) and I have been in a poly relationship for two years. When we first talked about it, we set up a few rules just so there is mutual understanding. One of which is to let the other party know that if something were to happen, to let the other one know out of...

I went through a similar situation as you, Villo. It isn't very comforting when things start off weird. My girlfriend and I were monogamous for five years, and then started exploring just two years ago. At first, I was against the idea, but after research and thinking, I started to accept it...

I will start off by stating that my girlfriend (I'll call her Anne) are in a polyamorous relationship. When we first discussed, we set a few rules to follow, one of which is asking permission before doing anything, just to make sure we're okay with it. Her and I went to a party with a few...

Sorry for the delayed response, but thank you all for your input. We had a very long talk about everything, and laid it all out on the table. I also showed this thread to her, and I have to say, although things aren't perfect, it's getting better. I told her that the situation boils down to...

Hey guys! This is my first thread here... I'm not sure if the title of the thread is correct, but I'm curious to see what your take on a situation I'm dealing with at the moment. My girlfriend and I have been poly for about a year now. We have gotten our feet wet, but have never jumped in...
