My screen name is SuperDave924, but for practical purposes, just Dave. ;-). I am the spouse of another newcomer, Suzanne. We recently ended what turned into our first polyamorous relationship. What started out as an attempt to add another couple as sexual partners to our relationship, turned into a wonderful, loving, two+ year experience. Although it is over, we hold our former partners in the highest regard.
At this point, we are trying to examine the details of what has happened. When we met what would become our secondaries, the concept of polyamory was foreign to us. As things progressed, we tried to figure out a name for what we were doing. Friends with benefits sounded a little too, shall we say, sitcom-ish. In the end, the term polyfidelity seemed to be the most fitting.
Going forward, we've decided that model (another married couple with exclusivity) fits our needs best. For the most part, it feels like we're spinning our wheels searching for that elusive match. That being said, we'll stick too it, and in the meantime, learn as much as we can.
Thank you to you all for providing such a fantastic, supportive resource.
