No poo poo I had a gal I was casually dating want to go steady except it would be an open relationship except that we could only gently caress people we'd already met no actively seeking new ones and except also in some nebulous way I would also be expected to screw fewer side people because the dumb "scoreboard" talk had come up in the past and I had more belt notches than her so it was only "fair" that she got to catch up or w/e.

Needless to say I didn't go for it.

I once had an ex who really wanted to get back together and I told him it was only going to happen in a casual dating non exclusive situation and that I would be seeing other people. He actually agreed with the stipulation that he didn't hear about any of it. It was pretty funny and I still can't believe he went for it.

I broke the rules of our open marriage, and really don't know what to do. (28m, 30f, 20f, 26f, and ~40m)

quote:

Wasn't sure if this would be well received in /r/polyamory, so I am posting here. I think this is a larger subreddit and maybe I can get a wider array of opinions.

A lot of people involved so I'll try to keep it as simple as possible.

My wife and I have been together for 5 years and married for 3 1/2 years. I am 28/m and she is 30/f. We have no children together, and we agreed to open our marriage up a little over a year ago (late 2011). Initially it was for her to explore her bi-side and we had a few group encounters. Eventually my wife ends up meeting some girl 20/f who ends up moving in with us. They are "together" in their own way, and occasionally we will play together but its mostly her and my wife. My wife also met a guy over the summer who she sees quite frequently. That guy is 40/m (approximately) and I don't really care for him, but he is harmless. I just feel kind of sad for him, and I don't worry about him too much but he is part of our life.

Initially, I was fine with her just exploring on her own because she had an uptight childhood and I was enjoying the threesomes that she set up, and I thought it was a phase. We could have fun for a year or so and then put it behind us and move on. So I had no plans of dating anyone else. Once her guy friend got involved, my opinion sort of changed. I didn't care enough at the time to forbid it, and my thinking was I would cause issues by telling her what she can and can't do.

But I started to act more and more single and put myself out there. Our initial agreement was total upfront honesty, but I threw that out the window. I really didn't like our house turning into a hotel, with my wife and her lovers around all the loving time. I ended up having different three one night stands in August, and out of those ONS I met a girl who I started to have feelings for. That girl, Abby is 26/f and she was my respite from my wife and the madness at home. We saw each other casually for the first month or so, and I dodged around the house set-up and open marriage, but eventually came clean. We took a break when I told her I was married, but eventually she took me back.

She took me back around New Years and we've been seeing each other a lot and she is kind of forcing my hand. She wants me out of my house and a divorce filed soon, or she is out. Right now, I'm struggling with what to do. Do I pursue Abby and abandon my marriage or do I try to give it one last try with the wife. Do I owe it to her to say lets do away with this poly garbage and see if she is willing, or is it better to cut my losses.

tl;dr Wife asked for an open marriage to pursue bi interests. Eventually she brings in her GF as a live-in partner, and adds a male partner. I go against our agreement and start pursuing other women, and meet someone else. The other girl wants me to leave my marriage. Do I leave the marriage or try to fix it?

It sounds like he was supposed to bring them home and induct them into his wife's harem before he could gently caress them, which was probably going to be a lot more work and a lot less successful than just having one night stands with barflies.

I like how these people who can't keep a libido up for one partner think they're going to make a relationship with multiple partners work

in the event that you DO somehow make that happen you're just going to crush your partner when they realize they're incapable of fulfilling your needs and you prefer having sex with other people

if you're not d2f all the time you should probably stick to one partner instead of trying to have variety in your sex life among long term partners. if you can't meet the needs of partner one, what makes you think you can meet the needs of partner two?

It's also great if you have different sleeping patterns or habits. Also during the summer. I would hate to have to share a bed in the summer.

I've lived with my partner for the past three years and we've had separate rooms this whole time and it's pretty great. I don't wake her up when I have to wake up early for work, she doesn't keep me up when she's on her phone because she can't sleep.

Just wanted to say thank you for this - my boyfriend and I have discussed moving in together with this arrangement and it's nice to see someone else is doing this and having success, even if everyone around us thinks it's weird. :shobon:

I had to go over to reddit to see what the comments were for this one. r/relationships had the most responses compared to the bare handful from the crosspost to the poly subreddit. Only a couple responses there were sane telling her that she has to decide what she wants and if she's sticking with him, she's going to have to work on rebuilding trust. The rest was one guy who said his wife's poly and he was against it too until she made him go to therapy which made him come around to it because of his flaws and the others all saying she did nothing wrong and it's the boyfriend's fault.

I'm still smirking over how she built it up to nitpick him on his "flaws" and convert him to poly and completely got blindsided that he read up on it himself and gave a firm No.

If there was ever an update, I couldn't find it.

As a guy who has had to wash up his vomit covered, really attractive female friends on more than one occasion, I can definitively say that it is not sexy in the slightest.


Even further, I had major crush on one of them. After having to wipe off their naked, vomit-caked body, I no longer had a crush.

Been there way back in the drinking days. Oh no, my crush is puking and fading in and out of consciousness, but still trying to get in her car. I guess I'm just going to carry her hundred pound rear end the five blocks to her apartment, clean her up a bit, change her vomity shirt, tuck her in laying on her side propped up with some stuff and then stop by her boyfriend's house on the way back home and let him know what's up.

Literally the least sexy thing possible.
