Introduction

Hi all!

My name is Sam and I’m from Fairfield County, CT about an hour outside of New York City.

My wife and I recently decided that having an open relationship would be the best way for us to currently go forward. We have been together nearly ten years and married for seven, with two children. Over the course of our relationship my wife’s sex drive gradually decreased, and it has come to the point where she currently does not want to have sex at all, not with me or anyone else.

Realizing the impact of this issue on me she suggested we try an open relationship. While I may be the one initially looking for additional partners, she may at some point look for the same.

As I’m brand new to the concept of having non monogamous relationships outside of my marriage I’m looking for advice and to connect with new people.

I just want to say that is very generous of your wife. I hope that you find the freedom and fulfillment that you need.

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

My only advice for now would be to be patient, it can take quite awhile for the guy in an open marriage to find additional partners. Also I would recommend OKCupid to you, it is a great dating site and poly-friendly. Anyway I'm glad you could join us, and hope you enjoy your stay.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
