Hello. My name is Miss Piggy and this is my poly confession.
K and I have been together for 8 years. We've had an open relationship for the past 3 years (I'm hoping I calculated that properly). Our open relationship was defined in the following manner. We were both free to persue 1 on 1 relationships with others that consisted of sex and friendship. We also persued a few relationships together with other singles/couples in a swinging threesome/foursome type set up.
Then, about a year ago, K started up a relationship with a gal - a married gal. They were having a lot of fun together, getting very close... so, in the meantime, her husband and I started sleeping together.
We all became closer and it became clear that the other couple in this story weren't interested in just plain old consentual extramarital sex. K and I had never intended on being poly. We'd both heard of it. I can't really speak for K but I'd sort of written it off as too weird. Then all of a sudden we were being confronted with the issue and it became clear, we were actually open to it. We were developing feelings for our partners. That's about where we are now.
Turns out we can and do have romantic love feelings for people other than each other.
We live as separate couples and we don't really know where any of this is going although we have discussed it a fair bit. I can't say it isn't complicated but it's where we are and we're enjoying the adventure.
I'd sort of avoided talking about this too much here as I too felt like people may not fully understand. But, I'm not actually ashamed of anything about my life and the people I love. Also, I think it is of some benefit to put it out there.
