Confused heart.

For a couple of weeks I have been talking to my ex’s again. A married couple. They live about 1 and 20 minutes from me. So we haven’t meet up again yet do to schedule. We agreed to keep it friends. So since we agreed on that I have been still looking online for the right ones or person. A few days ago I found a female who wants to have a three way with her ex husband and if things go well keep doing that and her and I will date. They are about a 1 hour way as well. Today she wants to meet soon like Saturday to see if we like each other because her ex is going to be gone driving truck for a while. I told her I will have to see as I think that’s fast.

Then tonight my ex’s told me that they have been talking and they want to get back together with me. Have a relationship. I don’t know what to do because I want to see what happened with this new people but I also want my ex’s back in my life. Both are very hard decisions.

Here’s why it’s hard for me. The new people never had a three way and she has never dated a women but would like to. From her picture and conversation I do like her but I don’t think I want to be the director of this. I don’t know if I want to be someone’s first. I don’t know if I like him yet because I haven’t even seen a photo of him. He is truck driver. With my schedule of working different nights and him always gone this would never really happen. But on that note I would get a lot of time alone with her. They have a car and are willing to come and meet me for breakfast Saturday. I haven’t said yes this really moved fasted. We hardly talked. I don’t really know if I can trust that they will not just stop talking me when they change there mind. It’s happens way more to me then say this isn’t working or I want to breakup. I know my ex’s will tell if this isn’t working or life is gets in the way.

With my ex’s they are out poly, and have done this before. We did it for six months off and on. But we did break up. It would be hard too because they don’t have Car right now as they can walk everywhere and wanted to pay off bills and got a house. So that would mean me going up there all the time. They have offer to pay my gas for me sometimes which does help but that’s a lot of miles.

For the both of them it’s hard because I have to keep it from people because they won’t understand. I live in a apartment building and people are always out side. We are all close. Some know my parents well. So if I’m gone a-lot they will noticed because I won’t be there to hang like we all do. Same if others come to stay. So that would mean me going up there all the time and people would notice if I’m not home when they are outside. I could see myself spending a few days up there as my schedule works that way. There would be questions and I’m just not ready to say. I’m not about lying either saying I was just visiting friends when they are a lot more then that. To me that miss leading people. I know how some of my friends were when I finally told them she’s not a friend but girlfriend. They felt like they didn’t know me, like I didn’t trust them, and what else am I hiding. When my neighbor found out about this she felt the same away. We had drinks so many times she said I don’t know who you are. Your just saying that to get attention. She got over but still.

There are so many other things going though my head. What if my ex’s change there mind again, and what if I pick the new ones and it doesn’t work I can’t say now I’m ready for this. I had to tell my ex’s yes I want that to as I do. I have missed them. They wanted to know a answer and I’m not sure I don’t think would work. I be a-fended if someone said to me wait I need to think. Confused.

Do what YOU need. If you need more time to think? Say that. If they get offended? That's their issue. You communicating clearly is not you doing something mean to them.

Same with the new people -- if you think it is going too fast? You need more time to think? Say so. If they pressure you for a threesome? Skip it. The early dating time is when people try to put their best foot forward. If pressuring you for group sex is all they have for best behavior? Skip it.

It's ok to pass on both of these potentials if you just aren't feeling all that great or solid about it.

Hi Gria,

You were saying you're finding it hard to choose between, your exes and the new couple. Do you have to choose one or the other, can you choose both? Just a poly thought.

Breakfast with the new couple sounds fine. It is just breakfast right? not a threesome already? If it's a threesome already, you're right, that's really fast.

Personally I think it's okay to tell your exes that you need time to think.

You were saying that you didn't want to arouse your neighbors' suspicions, you are not ready to come out to them. Wouldn't this be a problem no matter who you dated? Just a thought.

I hope that all goes well with your decision. Whatever it is.

Sincerely,
Kevin T.

I did talk to ex’s about all this and your right why do I have to choice. They are fine with it. They said it’s poly if you love more then do it. They really helped me with a lot. I know I just don’t want a threeway so I’m staying with my ex’s and this girl if she will have me. Still she was at work so I could not have more of conversation with her. She all ready knows the threeway is off. That I want to see if there anything with use. That’s when she left for work.

I also don't see why it has to be an "either/or" situation - why do you have to choose between either couple? If you are polyamorous, you ought to be able to date whoever you want, within reason and time constraints.

You say you want to try to make it work with you exes - then you could tell them you'll TRY. But in the meantime, consider WHY you broke up with them in the first place... or why they broke things off... and if those reasons may crop up again, and cause emotional upheaval and pain a second time around. Time to get really honest with this couple.

If your exes are cool with you dating other people at the same time as them - which is your right in any case - then, certainly, check out the situation with the new woman and her partner if it's something you WANT to do.

No need to rush into anything with them though. You say you have no idea if you'll even like the husband or be attracted to him, as you've never even seen a picture of him. (Personally, I'd require a lot more than that before agreeing to group sex with an unknown couple, but this isn't my life.)

Start slow... meet with the woman and see if you're compatible/attracted in real life. IF so, you may agree to meet with her husband at a later date. Please do NOT feel pressured into having a threesome with them right away - or at all - if it's not something YOU really want to do!

You are not required to tell EVERYBODY you know EVERYTHING about your private life. And they (your family, friends and neighbours) do not have an automatic right to know.

For one thing, these relationships are not *just* about YOU. Your partners may wish for some degree of privacy around your relationship with them.

You have the right to leave your home and visit with people - whether friends or lovers - without having people in your life interrogating you about your whereabouts, or demanding to know who you were with and what they mean to you. If you choose to divulge only the bare essentials, or nothing at all, that is your RIGHT and doesn't mean you have to lie.

You are right it took me talking to ex’s to see that and they are fine with it.

you are right about not rushing. I didn’t mean to come off that way I would never but about meet they were rushing because he drives truck and would be gone for work. I saw his photo and not for me. Told her we are going to try. My ex’s are cool they just said tell me about her. Which I find nice and sweet they want to know someone who I hope become part of my life.

No threeway with them it’s off.

i know I do. But it’s hard for me when someone says haven’t seen you, or we’re hsve you been.? They said that this past March and April when I was dating a girl. I just said busy and later when told them what really happens they felt betrayed, lied to, like they didn’t know who I was. I just feel like I’m lowing when both of this people make me smile so bright all I can say is busy.
 
It sounds like you are going to be dating your exes -- as well as the woman of the new couple. This seems like good news to me.

As for your neighbors, why not just say to them, "It's personal." Then you're not lying, but you're letting them know you're not ready to talk about it.

it’s personal I like it. As for dating the girl I have to still meet her. All is new and early.
 
Update

Hi I don’t know if either is going to work. The girl lives to far because the dating site has her place down wrong. Just by two letters and we talked about it now.

For the couple I haven’t talked to then in 24 hours. We normally chat though out the day when they are done working. I’m supposed to go visit on tuseday but that might not happen if we don’t chat. I’m just supper bummed about the couple thing because they gave me there new address and add me to group chat with them. Now I’m just crushed again. Nothing I did I know for sure. Keep you updated.
 
Sorry to hear that things aren't working out so far. I hope your exes will get in touch with you.

They have. Game night went long not much sleep work was busy that they sayid a hour longer and came home to crash. We are all good there. Just sucks about the girl.
 
Well, I'm glad your exes got in touch with you. Sounds like it's all good in that area.
 
Update

Things are still moving forward. We haven’t seen each other yet as life keeps getting in the way of both busy working. They are working more do to people who quite. Might see them maybe really soon. Crossing my fingers that it turns out right.
 
My fingers are crossed too. :)
 
Update.

Things with the couple dont seem to working. It sucks because when we’re together we’re great but when we’re apart there much lack of conversation sometimes on there part but other times things are great. I only saw them onces and not as long as I like. Then Friday I meet a guy who has not only taken me on date we have another planed for Friday my day off. We have talked for hours not realizing how many hours. He great, the best guy I meet in maybe a year. He knows about who I am and is ok with that but he does not know about the couple. I’m not sure it will work with the couple sadly. So what do I do tell him about the couple and risk losing him or not because I think the couple will stay just friends. Unless we stop talking.
 
At some point you might want to mention to the new guy about the couple, even if it doesn't work out with them. Better to err on the side of "too much information," I guess is what I'm saying.
 
Update on couple

This couple my ex’s I have been trying to see has been really hard do to or schedule and him having some nerve and gut issues. They work from 5 am most days to 1 or so. Some days 10 hours. They been working overtime do to people quitting. I work nights. Different days each week and it seems our days off haven’t matched. Neither of use want to ask for days off or to work these days only to we have to. With them being a hour and 20 minutes doesn’t make it easier when they get done early and I have few hours andthen I have come home to nap for work so really by the time I get there we only have hour if that.

I really do like them. They are very hard working, nice, same interest, no kids, can’t have and don’t t want any now, have there own place, and so on. Only thing sucks is they don’t have car right now because they gave it up for bills and to move to a nicer place. They can walk most places easily from we’re they live. I don’t know what do because I want this work and do they as we talked about on the phone the other day. But our schedule never seem to line up.
 
That sounds frustrating, you want to get together with that couple, and they want to get together with you, but you can't because of your conflicting schedules and other reasons. It sucks that they live an hour and 20 minutes away. And no car! So then you have to do all of the driving.
