Hello from an old poly guy

[maxnsue]

My wife and I are now semi retired and just left a 38 years poly relationship with her best friend, who was also married but her husband did not want to join in and we were never told why and asked not to ask anymore.

For us, three people in love was our normal as it was the way we lived for most of our adult lives. Heck, I had only three girlfriends in my life and all three are bisexual so I only know about bisexual women. Gets me in trouble sometimes as I forget that not all women share my interest in girl watching.

A few years ago we moved far from our home State. Our g/f and her husband were to follow and even put a down payment on a house near ours. However the recession hit and they lost their retirement nest egg in the stock market and had to come out of retirement and work again so they could not join us. We struggled for the first few years trying to adjust to living as a couple again but eventually we adjusted. We still talk regularly to our g/f and she did visit us once three years ago.

Only last year did I even post about it. We just never talked about our alternative lifestyle and no one ever asked us why my wife's g/f always seemed to be visiting us and had her own room on our house. Maybe they guessed but if they did, they never told us. As I said, to us it was just our life and I never woke up and thought whoopee, I live with two women. It just felt naturally as it was all that I really knew about love and life.

Greetings maxnsue,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Sorry to hear your girlfriend (and her husband) got hit so hard by the bad economy. I imagine you miss her, it sucks that you guys had to part ways. I'm glad you're on our website and I'm sure your years (decades!) of experience will be of help to others who come along.

Have enjoyed your posts so far; hope to see more of those.
Sincerely,

Thanks. Funny thing is that even though I have been an IT professional since well before the PC was invented and lived an alternate lifestyle and quite a few fetishes, we never visited sex forums until just last year. Only when we no longer were able to live our old lifestyle, did I even think about going online to see what was new in the world of sex. We came from a time where there was no internet. No ready made fantasies like the popular cuckolding one with the BBC, creampie, etc., all laid out nicely for you to follow by the numbers. We had to wing it and make up our own rules. We just never felt a need to read about sex before. Maybe we were afraid that we were doing it wrong.

Heh, well while "doin it rong" does exist, it turns out there's a really big variety of right ways to do it. In fact it's surprising to find out how much people have in common all around the world.
