What is Our Poly Life ??
In the beginning …
When we began our site in April of 2006 we did so with the intention of reaching out to others from whom we could acquire understanding, advice, and inspiration.
As our stories will affirm, we fell into polyamory quite by surprise, and had no resources from which to draw. We went searching, then researching, finally deciding to put ourselves into cyberspace with the hope of encountering others like us.
Perhaps in our attempt to record our journey we can be of help to some, or at the very least, give comic relief to others. And of course, we’d relish feedback from those who have gone before us.
And now…..
There comes a time in the lives of each and every person when they look up and realize they have changed. And at some point in this realization they see that their partner has either grown and changed in a way that was compatible or they have taken a wholly other path.
For the OPL quad this is what happened for us. One of our couples was no longer travelling the same path or wanted the same things from life.
Our archives chronicle the rise and fall of what we had hoped was an everlasting partnership. While our partnerships have morphed beyond the original intent we still parent 10 children and because of that will always be interconnected. While there are only three in the home now we will remain….
