last saturday my marriage finally had a long-awaited implosion and today i found the word and world 'polyamory'. i've waited 10 years trying and failing to find partners who were ok with what i want, whether it was sleeping with women or men. ten years of being told i live in cloud cuckoo land and feeling i'm a damaging person to be in relationship with, incapable - whether proudly or ashamedly - of monogomy, on a tortuous multicoloured relationship merry-go-round. but who would've thought it - THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE! not just people having a lot of free sex but people who believe that nonmonogomous long-term relationships are not only possible but represent something more beautiful. people who don't want to possess or be possessed, but do want to care about each other. people i won't eventually have to leave or who'll leave me. i feel loads better. thank you for your effort maxine.

This... well, frankly this is why I blog. In the hope that I can help folks like me realise that there are others out there, as one or two people did for me.

If you haven't found it already, tacit's writings at http://xeromag.com/fvpoly.html are well worth reading, too.

I wish you well in your new found world, and don't hesitate to ask questions!

(No worries about posting in the wrong thread, comments anywhere are welcome, and will get to me!)

Oh, and if you haven't seen it already, my introductory post: Butterfly, which mentions my experience of being shut away in a community that couldn't accept me.
