Greetings! My wife and I are new to the community and lifestyle. We live in San Jose, CA and we've been married for almost 20 years and recently started discussing our future, needs/wants, and ways to ensure we both are fulfilled as we mature. We are happily married with children, all of which are still in the house.
We started discussing open relationships about two years ago, out of a desire to add variety to our sex life. We quickly realized that while exciting and effective when it comes to sex, there is much more to fulfillment for both of us than via sex. I, the husband, have always believed that we should not me limited to loving, caring for, and being intimate with just a single person. My wife has experienced this for herself in the past and while she understands the concept, she is still borderline about living the lifestyle.
She is currently in a relationship and has been for about 6 months. I am not currently in a relationship, so I assume she is what is called the pivot. We are still finding our way, working through the emotions, but have largely had a successful transition from monogamy to nonmonogamy. I'm looking forward to asking some questions, finding support for the wibbles, and hoping to help others. My wife is enjoying her relationship as it grows and is also looking for support, advice, and help in the transition.
Eventually, we will both be posting here and I hope to meet some amazing people!
