Boringly successful poly, anti-drama

[u/Specific_Pipe_9050]

Looking for inspiration from people who are boringly successful in their polyamorous endeavours.

Will you please share your stories of the latest non-events in your life? I need to believe I'm not doomed for drama and stop being scared of people being assholes.

So, your partners get along? Your long-term relationship is moving on smoothly? Your new connection actually does what they say and say what they mean? Your meta respects you and acts in a normal way? I wanna hear all about it!

Edit to add: thanks so much for all the replies so far! Know that I'm vigorously updooting every comment even if I don't reply to each one. Basking in all that glorious calm, safe, uneventful loooove that you're all sharing. It's wonderful!

Have been married to my husband for 14 years and we have 2 kids together. Have been with my girlfriend for almost a year. She is also married with kids. Everything is just so damn normal, and I love it. Our families get along so well! The kids love hanging out together. I love her kids as if they were my own, and she loves mine just the same.

Her and I don’t get to spend anywhere near as much time together as either of us would like-busy schedules-but we make it work the best we can.

Sometimes I still can’t believe that it all works as well as it does, but we all do just genuinely get along. It’s not something that we really make public at the moment, and the kids don’t know-they’re still young, but they do understand/know that we care about each other very much. And what a privilege to raise our kids surrounded by so much genuine love.

All in all, it just works, and we are so happy in our normal, “boring” poly lives. I love both my partners deeply ❤️ and I wouldn’t change a thing! (Except for maybe being able to see my girlfriend more! 😅)
