Hello All,
So happy to have found this group and have learned a lot so far, and looking forward to learning more.
I am a 45 y/o male. I am new to this lifestyle and trying to learn the right way to manage and deal with feelings. I am separated from my wife (she is not a part of this lifestyle), basically divorced without it being legal. We coparent and are now amazing friends.
I am currently involved in a poly relationship (over a year) with an amazing woman who is with another man. He and I are friends (we all were before the relationship started). He and I do not share a sexual connection. We are straight. If I have the terms right, I think that makes me a metamour? He is her primary partner.
The bond between her and me is very strong, physically and emotionally. I am very much enjoying life and this situation, but sometimes feel myself a bit confused on how to feel about the "big picture." My life goals are very different from theirs, as there is a significant age gap between her and me, slightly shorter for him and me. Sometimes, trying to process those feelings, I struggle. We have had the "boundaries" chat (although some parts weren't crystal clear to me).
I have been married. I have a teenage son and we are at a happy place in life. Anyway, I am not sure how much I'm supposed to write here before the thread gets moved to the personal summaries portion, but wanted to dump this for you all to read. I look forward to learning more, feeling more and becoming more.
