   I believe many peaple are looking to hear the answer they want which is not necesarily the one they know to be true. If you are of a faith that teaches loyalty to ones partner, then your answers are very obvious, at least to this common thinker. I could come up with a thousand excuses for flirting or going as far as having sex with someone other than my wife. I am a middle agad, healthy and a somewhat attractive male who has had a couple of chances to “fool around” and though I would have liked to, it would not have been right. My wife and I entered into a life long contract and without her expressed permission I can not legally or morally change the rules in mid stride. I am not saying to have extramartal affairs is wrong, I’m saying to do so without your partners consent and knowledge is wrong.

   My wife and I are in a polyamorous relationship. We’ve been married for more than thirty years.
   growing up we both dated many persons and very seldom became attached to just one. My wife was engaged for awhile before she met me. After a number of years of just wondering, we began to date others. I had to deal with the jealousy issue at first but finally was able to see her with another man without “freaking” out.
   Now I even help her get ready for the date. They meet halfway between where we and her friend live.
   Observing all the anger, hate, between couples who “cheat” I would much rather live and know my wife spends time with a man I respect and know he will care for her just as I would. Once in awhile all of us will get together for a threesome or just having nonsexual fun together. It has strengthened our relationship in that we must communicate clearly, know what concerns us and talking about that concern. This is just a small portion of how we deal with polyamory but we both feel much more relaxed and our intimacy is even stronger because of this.

   I’ve been in a relationship now for almost five years with two women who are actually sisters I am legally married to one, but have the same relationship with both women. It was sort of one of those things that just happened over time. I actually dated one and stopped dating her, and later she introduced me to her sister. We later got married and with the sister being around so much and staying around us, her being single and all it eventually became a threesome that turned into a more. Also we have done a few threesomes, and even foursomes. I’ve been involved in threesomes with each of them one on one and also have done a foursome where both of them has played with myself and another guy. There is one that is sort of bi curious and one that is not.

   I take turns sleeping with each of them, and usually about once a week we all sleep in the same bed. We do everything as a couple and live as man and wife. Strange maybe, but I do have strong feelings for both of these ladies and love each of them very much and am sure they love me. We hope to be together until the end, should be noted…I am 55 yrs. old, my wife is 33 yrs. old and the sister is 42 yrs. old. We’re together, taking care of one another and loving it, in the meantime we’re happy.
