My husband and i practice poly (which means we date other people) we still love each other and care for each other but we find this makes life a lot smoother and richer. Am i the only one out there with this lifestyle? Please no perv responses! Just honest responses.

OK OK i am not afraid to commit. We just find it richer when we can share our lives and our loves with a 3 or sometimes even 4 member ( i would say that is more commitment then most couples will ever be comfortable with). We are not swingers because it is not just about sex! Its about sharing love. And we are just as committed to the extra people as we are to each other.
And i think there was some miss understanding in my question! I don't not need responses from those who think its wrong! I just want to know of those who have heard of it or know any good support systems for those of us who want to practice it.
Thanks,

Ann, that isn't really a "poly" relationship, it is more like an open marriage. Polyamorous relationships are those where there are more than two people involved in a relationship with all parties. Kind of like Ted and Sally and Tom are a "couple." To answer your question however, no! You are definitely not alone in your relationship interests. There are a way more poly relationships out there than people would dream of. Here is a great link to start reading if you are interested.

Your potentialities for elite colleges is desperate by your SAT/ACT rankings. are not getting obsessed with Aerospace Engineering. The friendly jobs visit entice close's degree holders. The friendly technique is to get a Bachelor's in the two Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Physics, then take a grasp's in Aerospace Engineering. connect in IB (worldwide Baccalaureate). it particularly is the severe-high quality obtainable education for elite colleges.

Of course you're not the only one! Obviously your partners are poly, too, lol. It takes a special kind of person to recognize that loving someone means wanting them to be happy, rather than simply wanting to possess them. Love isn't finite, and there is no limit to the number of people with whom you can share love, and committment, and respect, and all the goodies that go with it.

I have a few friends who participate in such a thing, but my mate and I not involved in such a thing. We believe that marriage ia a three partner relationship involving us and God. Do not get me wrong, I could care less what others do, it just isn't for us. However, I suggest you read some Robert Heinlen , my wife says he wrote a book on Poly-union relationships that was interesting.

You aren't the only one, that's for sure.
But it sounds more like swinging then poly...either way, you aren't alone and there are lots of sites specifically for like minded adults on the web.
It's definately not a lifestyle for everyone but for those of us that do & can it can be a very fulfilling part of life.

I cannot speak for everyone, but this would not work for me. I only want one man and I hope that I am the only woman my husband wants as well. I would hate to think that there was another woman getting what I was getting at home.

No offense, but in reading this, my first question is - why are the pair of you so afraid of committment? It just seems to me to be a little...sad and empty in spots.
I'm not judging here - if it works for the two of you, then, I suppose it is, by today's standards, a good marriage. I just hope, though, that you understand what you are losing as well.
Good luck....

22 years with the same women. Never consider going outside for additional love.
How does your husband compare to the other guys?

Not me, my wife and I agreed to a monogamous, long term relationship. We have grown that way for 19 years and have come to really not need any outside sex or companionship.

No... if I did I know I would get jealous and feel like he likes someone else other than just me. Plus how would the other people feel if they know they're not "Number 1"?
