I'm totally in love with a woman... who lives on the other side of the world. sigh. another long-distance relationship. somehow i had this idea that it would be less confronting for dp that my gf more of an online romance (goodness that sounds so silly, but I guess that's the age we live in ), but he's even more challenged by it than he was my last gf (who was a bit more IRL )
anyways... plans for visiting are in the making...

I can understand this. I find it easier to accept a partner's partner that I can actually meet/know than one I can't. Where there's mystery there are questions, and where there are questions there can be doubt. I can see how this situation would be difficult for me, in your dp's position, and I'd probably want a lot more communication and reassurance if I couldn't talk or meet with the other person myself.

yeah, eilonwy; that's exactly what he said.
I got them to have a chat on messenger, and that seemed to help a lot. I would dearly love to have a gf that I can see on a regular basis, I'm so in love with her. sigh

A bit about me

Hello

My name is Shane. I'm married to Mark for 12.5 years. We discovered open marriage/poly just over 2 years ago. To both of us we were totally unaware of these alternative relationships. After becoming informed we both agree that it is the more natural nature for both of us. We have three boys (10, 8, 6).

Neither one of us have a steady secondary partner. I have a friend that I've been seeing for the past 1.5 years. My attraction to him is more then his attraction to me. I see him about once a month, sometimes more depending on his schedule and wants. We play infrequently, no my choice. He has a steady girl that he sees, funny thing he does not consider her his girlfriend. His relationship with her is 'don't as don't tell'.

I have another friend that is a co-worker. We had a very brief relationship beyond friendship in the beginning (two weeks). After we played he decided that it was 'wrong' and wan't a total platonic friendship. I find it very difficult to supress my feelings. So far I've been able to stay his friend, it has been over 3 months now.

I'm a physical person who likes to have attention and give attention. If I like you I want to be able to touch you and be touched back. Very difficult when that can't be.

For Mark, we have a college friend that he became physically involved with last year. She lives in NC, we in CT. She is married in a 'don't as don't tell' situation. She is also pg with twins. Her mom lives semi near us so she comes up here a few times a year. They communicate multiple times a week. My friendship with her dwindled years ago, so they are closer then me and her.

So that is a bit about me and my family. I would love to meet someone that has the same attraction for me and I do them. It would be lovely to find someone to join the family.

Well for now I have friends that I was not able to have before, in the mono- mind set. That is beautiful

Tonight LOST is back and I'm going to go watch with Bryan, the guy I've been seeing the past 1.5 years.

Enjoy!

Haven't posted in a while, so thought I'd drop in and say hi!
Not a lot has changed around here; DH gets out of jail at the end of the month, so he'll be back home (yay!), and we're wanting to TTC this summer. I'm planning to go back to school to study law, and it seemed to make more sense to have a baby BEFORE law school than in the middle of it, and I don't want to wait until AFTER, because I'll be, like, 37 or 38 by then.

Unfortunately, it looks like we'll be stuck in our crappy too-small-for-us house for the forseeable future. We're going to see about putting a bunk bed in DD's room, for her to sleep on top with a full-sized bed below for me to sleep with the baby (3 adults plus a baby is NOT going to fit in our master bed!). DSS's will have to continue sleeping on the hideabed when they visit. We really need a 4 bedroom house!

I knew someone intimately who was in-tact and he had NO IDEA how to use a condom and i had no idea how to use it, he was my first intact partner.

how did you teach him? feel free to PM me if its too personal.

Hi...bi mama here who is feeling such a strong yearning/pulling toward a poly life, I feel like something is missing...
I love my dh, he is really quite possibly the most wonderful husband in the universe but I just feel like there is someone else out there - I don't know how to explain it. I just feel like I am poly at heart and need to express it. So I'm going to hang out with you guys.
