Changes

With kids starting school, I didnt get a chance to post yesterday. But here I am now!!! The 4th of July.... it was one of the most awesome days of our summer. The four of us plus the 6 kids went to the park and saw fireworks together. It was such a lovely night. The kids are pretty well spaced and have fun together. Their oldest (13) not so much haha! But he is a sweetheart. They all are. We spent the day at their house. Hanging out, kids played. Took some fruit and snacks to the park and we all sat down on blankets and cuddled together as we watched fireworks. That's when I knew. In that moment, I knew we were brought together for a reason. That we would have something special with them. For the rest of our lives. It's been a learning experience and we are all exploring and discovering things we had not been able to before. Its been hard at times. Frustrating even. And its so easy to let those negative emotions take you over and you start to panic and feel like everything is falling apart. What helps me overcome that is taking a step back and reassuring myself. -I am loved. By three special people and 6 wonderful kids. -C and D aren't going anywhere. We're not going anywhere -I think about how incredibly happy they all make me and how happy I make them We all have our issues and struggles. We are all human. Things happen and that is OK. We're all in this together and I need to be the best person I can be for them all.

Hard times

After falling in love with a very good friend and things not working out, I was a mess. I was so hurt. I spiraled into depression. I dont know how I went to work and did the home life for weeks and weeks. Weeks turned into months.... It was around this time that I had come across a wonderful woman on a dating app. I hadn't talked much with her but we had a lot in common. As I started to pull myself out of the terrible place I put myself in, things started to fall in to place. School had been over for the summer. And suddenly, we both had some free time to text and finally we met up at a park with kids and snacks. First impression? Whoah she is beautiful. No way she would be into me. She is the sweetest Her kids are the sweetest Her boyfriend seems nice. I was so happy to have found her to even just have as a friend After getting to know each other and the four of us hanging out, things just started happening. For the sake of not getting all mixed up with hes and shes.... pretty girl will be D and her boyfriend C My hubby will be P Next thing ya know, im watching my husband fuck a REEEALLY hot girl and im laying next to them with C cuddling me and massaging my back. I was so awkward that first time! *cringe* So it took me some time to warm up to C. After that first night together, D and P made a nice, strong connection. It was wonderful to see it happening before my eyes. I didnt have an instant connection with C but I felt there could be something special with time. For all of us. When I think of everything that had to line up for us to find each other, it blows my fucking mind. We have so much in common with each other and we have struggled with the similar situations as couples. I feel so lucky to have then in our life and I really feel like we've known each other for years. No matter what, we will always be a part of each others lives.

Hi and welcome!

Let me start by introducing myself and telling you a bit about myself Im a 26 year old woman from ohio. My husband and I have been together for 11 years and married for 7. We have 3 children. Ages 7, 4, and 3. We have gone through so much together and even though there is good and bad days, we love each other and we love where we are now. It all started a few years ago when I started to think that I would like to have a friend with benefits type relationship with someone outside of my marriage. It was only a brief discussion for a while. At the time, we just weren't on the same page. One of the things we struggled with the most was me being unfaithful at the beginning of our marriage. In a way, that will always be something that has changed our life. But we feel we are past that and have left that behind so that we can move on and improve our marriage. With that being said, it took us a long time to discuss and come to an agreement on what we wanted as individuals, a married couple, and for each other. For a long time, we struggled with jealousy, finding decent people to actually meet and talk to. We have spent the last year talking to people and getting to know a few but we never really got anywhere significant with anyone. Experience #1 was with a woman. We all had our fun for a while and shes a great person and friend now. Experience #2was with a guy. We hung out a few times, had some fun and then he moved away. Experience #3 another guy. Haha can you see a trend here? It was a good friend of mine who I had been getting to know and talked to for a year. Lets just say...I fell madly in love with him but it just was not meant to be. This was when everything changed for me.
