I always listen to Polyamory Weekly when I commute from work. I am very interested in polyamore relationships. I was an poly activist too here in these parts of Europe so these podcasts helped a lot to give information to others.
Yes, Minx is a lot of fun and her show is very entertaining and informative. I always have a good time when I hang out with her and we have some awesome poly discussions over ice cream and dinner!
But for a book it is more interesting of someone starting with cheating to become aware of polyamory and then tries to be open an honest to the partner she cheated on.
Listen to Polyamory weekly with the Minx. Everything you want to know about polyamory is discussed there. Polyamory is a group name covering tons of multiple combinations but they all these things in common: Love Open, honesty and tons of communication with all of the partners.
The fastest way to kill a polyrelationship: Start to hide and lie.
That's how I was raised to feel as well, and then I felt horrible when reality hit and I realized I was able to not only just feel attraction for, but have deep love for more than one person at a time.
I realized that when I was raised to believe that I could Love my husband but only *Like* my friends, I was raised to believe something that didn't work for me. I truly love my close friends, even if there is no sexual component.
A vee can include a friendship between the "wings" automatically, but some people like to distinguish those kinds of friendships with things like dotted lines or different colored lines ... but a vee by itself does inherently imply the possibility of that kind of relationship all by itself. Glad my site could help. I have a 3D model of my network made of Tinker Toys, too.
Miss Poly Manners. Cool!
I have been listning to your advice too.

There is always one typical sentence if someone is cheating and searches for help on a polyamore site.
They all start with: I really love my partner and I do not want to lose or hurt him, but I fell in love with someone else.

You lucky person. :-)
You actually meet her in real life :-)
For me her podcasts are my references. :-) That does not mean that I agree with it, but they do cover every aspect of polyamory :-)

I didn't figure this out until my late 20s tho.

Yeah, that's what they've got: a big V with an extra dotted line. Except for Program participants. Then...
I'm drawing a diagram inspired by the ones on your site.
