Anyone else here non-monogamous/open? How do you identify others it’s safe to tell? I’m not as bold as to wear a swinger ring...

A1, just tell your parents you love your other half. They don’t want to know about your sex life just like you don’t want to know about theirs

Hmm not something my non-gay friends know about, but also wouldn’t lie about it to a friend when asked. I’m not sure I would tell anyone at work who doesn’t need to know though

I guess it's complicated by the fact that they've met my partner's other partner, who they refer to as "the girlfriend". So if I tell them I'm with my partner now, they're going to ask about the girlfriend. And I can't say they're broken up or anything, because they haven't. I'm just there too now, lol

I only mention to close gay friends. They are usually doing the same thing and it’s good to have the chance to discuss. But I would not want to discuss widely, I think it could make people uncomfortable
