Hi there. Just checking in and introducing myself. I'm Jay from the East Midlands here in England. I'm part of a vee, with my wife as the hinge and I'm hoping to get some guidance on how to handle things. I would love to make some friends in similar situations. I'll post more in a personal summary at some point. Thanks.

Greetings Jay,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.
I, too, am a leg in a vee (MFM), and would happy to chat with you about that. I've been in this vee since early in 2006. If I can be of any help, let me know. You might also want to post in Poly Relationships Corner, you can get more responses there, from a wider range of people. It's great to have you on board with us!
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
Notes:
There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!
Please read through the guidelines if you haven't already.
Note: You needn't read every reply to your posts, especially if someone posts in a disagreeable way. Given the size and scope of the site it's hard not to run into the occasional disagreeable person. Please contact the mods if you do (or if you see any spam), and you can block the person if you want.
If you have any questions about the board itself, please private-message a mod and they'll do their best to help.
Welcome aboard!

Hi SquarePeg - and welcome to the Forum! My experience in poly also began in a V with my wife as the hinge - following her request that we open our marriage so that she could explore her resurgent feelings for an old college boyfriend in an ethical manner (the full story can be found at the link below). Closing in on three years later, her boyfriend is living in our guest room (at least for a few months) - and we are very much kitchen table poly (her boyfriend and I cycle together also), and I have two partners (in addition to my wife) - one local and one long distance (will be flying to the Pacific Northwest next week for a weekend visit with her, in fact). But in the beginning, I was very much like ... wtf.... so thought I would share that it can work out, given time and patience.
I also found researching the subject to be of great help to me - and participating in this Forum was a big part of that. So congrats to you on taking the first step in introducing yourself - don't hesitate to post any specific questions and thoughts that you may have.
There are a number of good books on polyamory. Many of us believe the best introduction to be Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships by Tristan Taormino. (Available at Amazon et al in hard copy or digital).
And here is my list of some of the best poly websites:
