Introduction and such

Hello,

I realized that I had not posted on this page before posting on the main pages, so I am coming back to this one to remedy that situation.

I am a 42 year old male.

I have been married to my wife JW, for 15 years and have been with her for nearly 21 years. During that time we have had an open relationship.

I have been with my girlfriend JN, for 2 years now.

We all live in California

This is my first ever Poly relationship, and it has definitely been a roller coaster. I have made one post where I went into some further details as well as some heavy emotional experiences that i am having. I decided to take the post down. Most of my life I have worked to keep real life drama offline and being new to this board, I wasnt sure if I was doing the right thing. I do want to thank Galagirl for commenting on my post and giving me some advice and some links to read before I took the post down.

I am not looking to add anyone else to the relationship I am in, I am more than content with JW and JN, despite the issues that have come about of late. In short, I just want to be happy again.

Anyway... there is a little bit about me and my situation. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will do my best to answer them
 
Greetings whereami,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Hope the rollercoaster has been treating you better and getting you past the scarier parts. Poly tends to be hard to get used to at first, even with many years' experience in an open relationship. The emotional involvement of a poly relationship can really hit you with a curveball.

Glad you have found Polyamory.com helpful so far. GalaGirl is one of our best helpers here, I think.

Glad you could join us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!

Thank you KDT. The rollercoaster is still moving along the tracks for right now. You are right about the curveball, sometimes it feels like it has hit me square in the head :) But right now I am just trying to be patient and as supportive as I can be.

That is good to know - the reading she recommended was indeed helpful to me. One of my partners, JN, introduced me to this page as a resource for information and advice. So far it has been helpful
 
Sounds good ... Hang in there.
