51M in a poly marriage looking for platonic friendships in the poly/ENM community. I’m open to making friends with all genders but ideally, I’d like to connect with other men in similar situations to share the ups and downs and in-betweens with. Both my wife and I are in committed secondary relationships, and besides my therapist, I’m lacking anyone outside of my romantic relationships to talk openly and consistently with.

I’ve recently joined a men’s group, and that has been great to explore the dynamic of talking openly, but as the only poly guy there, it can still be difficult to talk about this part of my life. I’d like to foster friendships that can be intentional and, in due time, build into sharing the spectrum of experiences from the silly to the heartbreaking.

I enjoy walking and biking to explore the Portland neighborhoods, hiking, camping, playing cards, exercising, and generally being out in the world trying new things. I definitely consider myself an introvert so meeting folks out in the wild has been a challenge for me.
