I've been with my husband for 9yrs, and we have two kids. We have a good marriage, we can talk about anything, the sex is great, we are very supportive of each other, but I've always felt like something has been missing. We decided recently to try having a poly marriage.
I was with an amazing guy for four months. I connected with him on a deeper level than I ever have with anyone else. We really understood each other. The sex was more meaningfull.
It was also his first poly relationship. He seemed so comfortable with the whole situation and even meet my husband. I was so happy, every thing was going so smooth. After 4 months, he decided that poly is not for him, and he broke it off. I am shocked and devastated.
Now I think that I went into a poly relationship to fill an emotional void. I think that my husband and I could be much happier with someone else. I feel like we settled. I am not unhappy with him, but we have very little in common. We don't truly understand each other. I've never felt that deep connection with him like I did with my ex boyfriend, not even in the beginning. We are more like best friends with benefits, who support each other, and raise kids together.
I promised myself that I would never split up a family, our oldest is only 5. We both are willing to sacrifice our true happiness for our kids, as long as we can keep a good healthy home environment.
After this experience I don't know if I will continue with a poly marriage, my husband if free to continue his relationship, but I don't think I will persue another relationship. Maybe after I heal I will feel different.
