Pretty Polly

[sirhugs]

Hubby knew when he married wife that her "one true love" was Polly, her college room mate. But Polly had gone to Africa to do missionary work right after graduation, never to return (was Polly secretly working for the CIA?)
Then one day, Polly is on their doorstep, back from her travels. Hubby instantly gets why W found Polly irresistible and knows that the two women will soon be making love. except they include him in the loving and soon a triad bonds.
Needs something though...

Without going out the family (of the three) it's all about insecurity of the guy. He's always felt second, a consolation, inadequate replacement no matter how wife tried to convince him that he's a quality of himself. Now he steps aside way too much and too easily, forcing the wife -- both girls -- to all but seduce him all anew.

Polly may not have by accident, she may want hubby to build a bridge in Africa.

Or outright jump into a thriller, Polly's one of twenty wife's of the chief of Jumba-hum "savage" pygmy tribe, it's now threatened by poachers and hubby is her choice of a Rambo.

I think it can sometimes be useful to ask your characters questions. For me, the big one here is, "Why are you back, Polly?" Also, how long has she been gone, because that changes the dynamics. If it's 5 years, these characters are about 27 years old, way different than if she was gone 20 years and they're 42.

The other big question is about the wife. Is she bi, or was Polly the only woman she's ever been attracted to? Sometimes characters will start telling you their story as you get to know them, which is the pantser's dilemma: start telling one story and then the characters have their own ideas!

Zigzagged: Husband thinks Polly was his wife's true love, but he's wrong - in reality, Polly was just a good friends with benefits. Yeah, his wife talked about her much, but he got a wrong idea. The story would be him dealing with imagined rejection and her trying to convince him how she loves him.

And then, they both seduce Polly who's still living with them, just to get it all out of the way?

I was thinking smth different. As the man doesn't believes his wife, she sets up a threesome... With almost all of her attention directed toward him. It finally persuades him... Or not

as long as they live polyamourously ever after....

1. Hubby “knew” Polly was his wife’s “one true love”, how? I ask because if this was something he learned because she told him her history during dating is one thing. If it’s something he learned from observation, through her friends, or from other clues ( in other words, she did not tell him) then it might plant seeds of jealousy when Polly shows up.

2. As you pointed it to me in my story idea, time away is going to be a factor. The wife is going to have changed because of her falling in love with hubby. She’s not the same person who thought Polly was her one true love in college. Maybe she’s expanded her definition of true love. Maybe she’s given up on the idea of true love after Polly left and now she wants something more stable and/or realistic, hence hubby. The wife’s mindset of what her relationship with her husband vs what she thought she wanted in college is going to play a big part of her actions now. Is she willing to take up with Polly again because she still wants that true love back in college? Does she want to try to expand on her relationship with hubby to include Polly-if so, has she already talked to him about swinging or was that something they did when they met before settling down and marrying? Or is this a situation where if she wants Polly will hubby consider it cheating either emotionally and/or physically?

3. Then there’s Polly. What is her thinking on what was happening in college vs now? Was she attracted to wifey in college? If so, why’d she leave or at least what was her rationale for leaving? If she did join an alphabet organization and never expected to return to her old life, then she’s going to have to come up with a way to prove she did what she said she did. This may be a way for hubby, assuming that he looks into Polly, to become more suspicious of her motives in returning, this causing drama. But ultimately, what’s Polly looking for in returning? Did she think wifey was the one that got away? Is this return under the guise of something else? Possibly, she is investigating something or someone and either the wife or hubby is her way to to get into a that company or introduced to that person. In order to do that she is reviving her relationship with wifey and it turns into something else. So what’s Polly about when she returns from wherever?

4. Hubby is going to be curious and cautious in the beginning I think. That may turn into concern and heated discussion with wifey, then jealousy and despair. If/when wifey and Polly get him in the bedroom I suspect he will feel distrust of both wifey and Polly. So if you are going for the happy ending, how do you address his feelings and bias towards Polly? What would he need to be able to get past thes feelings?

Good luck

1. I picture Hubby having known wifey and Polly back when W and P were a couple. Polly moved away after graduation. Hubby became the "substitute", knowing that was all he could be.
2. when Polly returns, the attraction between W and P is still intense, but W also feels attraction to H. This is what leads at first to a threesome, them polyamory as P and H develop feelings.
3. P loved W in college, but knew it could not last for job reasons. Finally, she can find work in the same place as W lives- the lust has never gone away, just been banked like the embers of yesterday's flames. seeing W makes the embers burst into fire.
4. In my version, H "gets" w and P from the beginning. Impossible to be jealous of the white hot love. He is at first just happy to have a share of W, who he truly loves (more than W loves him). As he gets playing with Polly, he develops lust, perhaps love, at least affection. Not white hot, but enough to make the polyamory succeed HEA. Besides he & P love the same video games.

A threesome with a husband, wife, and her best friend? I have one of those, although it was an unplanned sequel to two other stories.

Actually build a bridge? Does it look like this? A bit fancy for Africa, but one might as well think big.

I was thinking more long term poly triad than simply a threesome.

Well, I did leave it open in the sense that what happens after than day is not specified. I don't "feel" another sequel right now. Maybe or maybe never.

Now that I look at the thing again, the narrator does consider having ex-wife, the third partner, to stay for the night but she leaves. The wife's friend, his new girlfriend, is perhaps open to the idea as she says at the end, "Maybe some other time."
