Hey ya'll... I've been away from the site for a little while and have come back for a little bit of help and good friend/friend chat... I've been married to my wife for over 13 years now and have some great highs and some terrible lows like any other marriage, but we've toughed them out and have become a better couple for it... However recently, we have come to a curious turn of events. My wife has had some horrible medical circumstances for the later half of our marriage that has made us do some serious thinking about our sex lives. My wife has been stricken with several conditions such as degenerative joint disease, lupus and most notably a recent near scare with ovarian cancer. She has continuous degrading of her mobility (hips, knees and lower spine) and has totally lost her libido... We have been seeing some of the best doctors in the country to help get her back up on her feet. She is a very strong willed person and I greatly admire her for that... Over the past couple of years we have been discussing opening our relationship to another person (man or woman) for me. She understands my needs and has told me that she supports me in finding someone else. However, I have been very skeptical/nervous in following through with it... That is until recently, I have finally found someone that I want to be with. She is a friend to both me and my wife (old childhood friend of mine). I have been hearing that Poly relationships have been starting to become more mainstream in the US (actually saw an article on CNN saying this a couple of months back), whether due to medical, financial or emotional reasons... Hey I fully get the, "to each their own" saying... I even have a near and dear ex-girlfriend that is in a poly-relationship now... I guess what I'm asking is what are your thoughts on this and where can I find more information on poly-relationships? As always to my responders, thank you for your honest inputs and advice...
BTW, is anyone else having issues typing on this site? For some reason, this is the only site that my keyboard has issues with... Intermittent unresponsiveness with text entry... Thanks!!!
