Hello poly folks, A little back story for context. My wife and I have been together for over 9 (married 5) years now. We've been involved in extramarital situations basically since we started dating. We have always been very open and honest with one another and our interest in open sexuality was brought up very quickly in our relationship. That being said, originally we dabbled in the swinger lifestyle. We did that on and off for a while during our "younger" years. I'm now 34 she's 31. Now we have a home and 2 children together and we've found that with all of that going on we're less interested in swinging our random hook up's. We've also found that, given the immense responsibility that is our entire world together (kids, bills, social functions, schedules, etc and so on) we've been interested in each finding an outside partner. I've known I was poly for a long time now but this was the first time I've ever had the opportunity to truly explore it. So, fast forward a few months. My wife and miner's "take" on poly are a little different. But we each have our own separate situations with separate partners which satisfy our individual needs. She's more into a casual FWB situation. I find that,though I'm not demi, I do prefer to have a strong emotional connection with a partner. So, I've been dating this young lady, and admittedly only for a few weeks. I had dated a few other women before but they didn't work out. It's way too early to say anything for sure about my current girlfriend but she certainly feels different. I feel like we connect in all the important attributes and where we differ only serves to help expand each other's culture, if that makes sense. She hits all the bullet points of what I've been looking for and her and my wife and our children and hers all get along fantastically. Anyways, to the point now... My mother is a "born again" Christian and my father a Catholic. They divorced when I was 1. But they're both very opinionated... I guess I'm just considering, down the road should things become more serious, does anyone have any advice on how to come out as poly to less than accepting parents? Is not just because of her (GF) either, I've been so tired of hiding my true self to my parents for so long now. I'm a 34 year old man with 2 kids a house, I pay my own bills and I tasks care of my family. I'm in a happy living relationship. My parents got divorced when I was 1 and my entire childhood was a mess of lies and custody battles and vying for my affection so they could use me against one another. Who the fuck are they to tell me what love is?! I just wanna be who I am and I want to be open and honest with my family and my friends and those who truly care about me will accept it. The hardest part is my parents though, because they're my children's grandparents. Anyways, any advice is appreciate. Thank you for reading.
