Phoenix from the fire

[Candiedlove]

I feel just as my title suggests. I don't know what others' experiences are like, but I had a very tumultuous introduction into poly, starting with a married man in an open relationship....

And, well, long story short, here we are. We are both pretty secure in what we want and have two potential girlfriends, one of whom I'm tentatively ascribing to our poly group. Neither of our schedules really allows for outside dating.

Hoping to be part of a community where we can be free to talk to people, as we can't really afford to be public about the relationship now.

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

So, you're still with that guy who was a married man in an open relationship? Is he still married? Sorry if I'm prying, I'm just curious.

Lots of people have to be "in the closet" (I do) about their poly-ness, so it's important to have a place like Polyamory.com where you can go to speak freely with people about your poly-related thoughts, questions, etc.

And we even have a Fireplace that's just for fun. Check out our various threads and boards and see what calls to you.

Good to have you with us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"

No, its okay. Uh, not really sure how much is too much right now. Yes, I'm still with him. It's been a really tough time and we've been each others' rocks. We're even starting to date a new girl! I'm trying my best to move past the, past, and focus on the present and future. He's pretty hurt right now, and I'm a little concerned that we're moving too fast? But he says he's ready to date again....

So I'm here to see what I can find to help support us both.

I understand. I think you can find the help and support that you need here.

It's hard to tell how fast is too fast!
