Poly/Mono relationship?

[Anonymous]

For anyone in a poly/mono relationship, how do you navigate the feelings of all partners?

The simple answer is Communication! You have to be able to have open honest conversations be it good, bad and everything in between.

Do a lot of that before even going into or attempting a poly/mono lifestyle.
My wife and I have successfully navigated this lifestyle for quite a few years.
I find what we have fits perfectly; we are socially monogamous and I am sexually monogamous while she is sexually non-monogamous -
it means she can pursue sexual relationships with other people, but we still present ourselves as a committed pair in public and maintain our primary emotional connection with each other; essentially allowing her to fulfill her sexual needs outside of the marriage while still upholding a socially monogamous image.

My ideal arrangement is to serve her and be exclusive to her, while she enjoys the freedom to date other guys whenever she wants.
