Porc Therapy 092: Open Relationship Questions

Stephanie and Mike talk about whatever issues or questions you have. This episode’s question(s):

I’ve recently encountered the idea of polyamory, and find that it fits me very well. I’ve never been entirely monogamous, but always faithful, and presently love several different women. One in particular presents a problem I don’t see a solution to. We have a long distance friendship, and have for many years. We both love each other, and in the past were close to dating. Life sadly, had other plans for both of us. Now, after discovering the idea of polyamory, new possibilities have arisen. I want to pursue a long distance polyamorus relationship with her, and while she is willing to try it herself, she is presently in a long term monogamous relationship. Neither of us want to endanger her present relationship, and she doesn’t feel that her partner would be interested in the idea of opening their relationship, to the point she feels even bringing up the idea would risk either a break up, or her being asked not to contact me anymore. I would appreciate it if you could provide some ideas on a way to help us open up their relationship, without destroying it.

==================================================

I have a lover that used to live nearby and it was easy to spend time with one another, but that has changed. We work shifts that conflict with one another and we have a good amount of distance between us. I still love him very much, but because we have less time to spend together we are having sex less and less.

I love him very much, but I am wanting to seek sex elsewhere and I don’t want to end the relationship because of it. One day we might have more time for each other.

How do I break this to to him without breaking his heart?

PS. Porc Therapy kicks ass and I discovered you via the School Sucks episode you guest starred on.
