Hello all! My name is Bonny (36yo) I am in a poly relationship of about 16 months now and I am still finding myself questioning how things are supposed to go. My husband (37yo) , of almost 18 years, and I brought in a partner, Cheyenne (23 yo). We all get along well, have common interests with one or both partners, and love spending time together. Like most relationships, there are some issues, but we do our best to get through them together. I'd love to chat with some of you and get some insight to my thoughts and feelings i have about some situations and issues that I see...cant wait to chat!!
 
Hi and welcome, Bonny!

Could you perhaps clarify what you mean by how things are supposed to go? Because there's no one right way - that's largely the point of polyamory, you get to design your relationships rather than slavishly adhering to the nuclear family model of monogamy.

Hi, welcome!

If you have some specific issues and questions, please feel free to start a thread in our Relationships section. :)

Triads are the hardest way to do polyamory. Plus you have a large age gap between you and your gf. But maybe you've got other stuff going on. Our members will be happy to provide feedback and share their poly-dating experiences.

Meanwhile, check out our Golden Nuggets section to see past threads on many poly topics, and lists of reading resources and a podcast.

That's really just my question I guess, what is the right way for us..?! I am new to this all still and I am learning how open and free polygamy is.

Thanks, I will!
 
Greetings Bonny,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I looked at your other thread, and responded there briefly. To summarize, it is normal to have some ups and downs in your relationships, and just try to work on your jealousy issues. If you'll keep posting as your situation evolves, I'll try to think of more advice and feedback.

Glad to have you with us,
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)
