Experienced but questioning everything

[COtraveler81]

Hi everybody! I'm Brad, 44, cisgender gay man. I'm in an egalitarian triad with my husband J (in a relationship for 21 years), and our partner K (he's been in the relationship 8 years). As proud and open as we've been about our relationship, we don't really have any poly friends. I think it's time I meet others in relationships like mine possibly for support, or just a place to vent a bit since (as my subject line indicates), things aren't great with the triad right now. All that said, I've scrolled through the forums and I'm very interested to read more!

Welcome! You've come to the right place.

Triads are the hardest polyamorous configurations to negotiate. Feelings can vary between each dyad. You can search the term "triad" and read about people's experiences.

Feel free to start a thread in the Relationships section with specific questions about your current/former struggles in your triad.

If you want to vent just to get your thoughts and feelings out there with less feedback, you can start a blog in our Blog section too.
