Hello.
I am a single mom in my 30s, divorced from my child's father. I identify as monogamous currently, but am dating a man who is polyamorous. He is married and I am good friends with his wife. One issue is that we live 100 miles apart, so its been difficult at times.
I grew up in a conservative, Catholic household. I, however, am Pagan and rather liberal and open-minded in my beliefs. My parents know that my boyfriend is married and poly, and that his wife and I are friends but they seem to have issues accepting that we have a serious relationship. My siblings however have known from the beginning and are fully accepting of it, which helps. I don't have any polyamorous friends where I live, but I actually have several where my boyfriend lives. I am hoping to use here as a resource and as support as I navigate this new experience.
 
Greetings LissRose,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I hope we can be of good help to you; please don't hesitate to post any questions or concerns you might have. It sounds like you have a lovely mono/poly relationship with your boyfriend and even if your parents don't get it, at least your siblings do.

Glad to have you with us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Sounds like a tough situation and I am sad to hear that your parents are not very accepting. I hope that one day they will change their perspective on the matter and just accept the fact that you are happy.

I am glad you decided to use this site as a resource and I look forward to hearing more about your relationship in future posts.

Congrats on your relationship and if you need any advice at all we are here to help!
 
Thank you! I hope my parents do come around eventually, before it's too late. I am glad that my siblings are incredibly accepting and supportive.
