I have a friend who recommended I join a Poly Group to further explore my deep feelings of wanting to give and receive love after a disasterous first attempt at an open-marriage arrangement. I have been married for over 20 years and gradually over that time,my wife has required less and less intimacy and affection where as I have desired and needed more.

It has led me to depression, and as hard as I try to be understanding and considerate of her needs,I can't stop thinking about how complete I felt at the very beginning of my first venture into a poly arrangement. My fear is if I pursue this again it would spell the end of my marriage, which I definately do not want to happen. I love my wife dearly, but I need to express myself more in a loving and intimate way.

I would appreciate feedback and advice from members as to there experiences and how they managed to maintain their primary relationship when entering into a poly arrangement.

I live on the Gold Coast and would love to have contact with any female members in my area to connect with.
