Hi! My name is Wendy and I'm in an open marriage. We've been open since March. My husband has a secondary partner. Its ironic because we opened our marriage for me and my secondary has moved on. We have 3 children. They know we are open but we try to keep our activity from affecting them as best we can. Our oldest is married with 3 little girls and our youngest is a sophomore in high school. Our second child passed away 3 years ago.

I'm looking forward to having a community. This lifestyle can be very isolating. Other than our children and a few close friends no one knows we have an open marriage.

I agree about the life style being isolating
A lot of people look at my bf when he talks about other partner like are you stupid your gf sitting next to you
Then i pipe up along the lines i know and approve
Then they just drop there jaws
And if you say your poly its like your speaking latin!
Hugs!
