Hi,
I and my husband have been married 14 years. We discussed an open marriage back in June because my husband had never been with anyone else and was curious about experiencing another woman. I was fine with it, so we opened up. He found a nice lady and they were together for a couple of months, but he never developed strong feelings for her. Her daughter was poly and so she was familiar with the lifestyle and told us a bit about it. We ended up agreeing that it sounded like a good way to approach our new open marriage. We didn't want to fall in love and have that mean the end of the marriage.
I have a boyfriend and he and I are active in the local bdsm community. It's a love I never realized I had until we opened our marriage. I've fallen in love with him and hubby admits he's having a harder time knowing I'm in love than he thought he would be. He goes through periods of jealousy and insecurity at times but is determined to work through his feelings. He knows I'm not going anywhere. We have three beautiful kids and homeschool them. I told him to remember that love is not finite. It only grows. I don't love my 1st child any less just because number 2 and 3 came along. And I certainly don't love him any less. And our bond has actually become stronger due to opening up. We share more, have exciting sex more, experiment more, cuddle and conspire more, etc...
We talk a lot and try to be as honest and transparent as possible, and I'm delighted with how well it's gone so far. We may seek out certain experiences such as threesomes, but these will be few and far between. Neither of us is all that interested in nsa sex, which is why we latched onto polyamory so quickly.
I'll look forward to getting to know some of you better.
