Need advice from some people more experienced in poly relationships.

juber, I am so glad you are doing well. Good update!
I agree that me time is nice when my gf is occupied, either with a lover, or just going to do whatever with platonic friends. We are super close and love being together, but having time apart is good for both of us.
And as a bisexual poly woman who was in a mono hetero marriage for 30+ years, I know how your wife feels exploring her "lesbian" side. It has been a real eye opener for me. Not just the kind of sex we have, but more importantly, sharing emotions in a way my husband ( a typical guy) was unable to do. And though I have been dating men as well these past 6 years, I have not met any other man who is her equal in emotional bravery and creativity and support.

Hi Juber,
I just read your entire thread; I don't recall reading it when you first started posting last year. It is very heartwarming and refreshing to read your story. I especially enjoyed reading your latest update and it made me happy to see that everything is working out just great for both of you.
Here are two people -- you and your wife -- who are truly good partners to each other. You recognize and respect each other's autonomy, communicate extremely well, are willing to face challenges together, and have embarked on a poly voyage in a very intelligent and thoughtful way. You are a living example of poly done well, and very respectfully. Good going!
