I know my few posts have all been kinda downers, but my wife and I are still at it. Things continue to break down with the guy she was seeing. He's blown her off a few times, and this last time really hurt her, again. For some reason, she doesn't want to be the one to call it quits with him, and personally, I don't think he's going to do it either. Regardless, they're working it out.
For the most part, I've been good with the whole thing. I feel I made it over a pretty major hump. I had some minor setbacks with my anxiety, but nothing detrimental.
Depending on how things go with her guy, we're thinking about trying again and going with a different approach. I've been of the mind that if we seek out a couple, things might be a little easier. Particularly, with the communication and openness piece.
She's still a little uncomfortable with the idea of me being with someone else, and I'm fine with that. Frankly, I'm unsure about the idea myself. I would be ok with her meeting a very open, honest and comfortable guy, but I also wonder if I shouldn't be trying my hand at this as well, or at least keep my options open. That's of course a subject open to more conversation between her and I though.
If we do decide to look for a couple, what is a good way of going about it? We looked at polyamorydate.com, but they want quite a bit of money, and the reviews seem iffy. We're really not looking to jump in the sack right away, but genuinely develop some deeper friendships with possible benefits.
