Hi :)
Hi! I'm Karelia (Kari for short). I have been married for five and a half years and with my husband over 10. We never in a million years would've considered ourselves poly.
Then in February, we met someone online and it wasn't planned... nor was it ever intended to be more than a fun online thing. But suddenly, we both developed strong feelings for her. I have been bi for as long as I've been able to remember (and long before I understood what it meant).
So, it became a more serious online thing... and in late May, she moved in with us.
I love her like crazy... but it's been a bit of a roller coaster because it unexpectedly brought up a bunch of insecurities for me. She's pretty much the only poly person I know, and I can't talk to her about a lot of it because it causes issues when I do (long story, but it makes HER insecure). I can't talk to him about certain issues (particularly sex) because he feels terribly guilty, like he's hurting me.
I always expected a little hurt... like breaking in new shoes. But I need a way to sort through it, and so I searched and here I am.
I look forward to making new friends...
Hugs,
Kari
PS. In case anyone is curious, we're a closed triad...
