So I've had the same girlfriend for over a year now. We started off in the most intense NRE either of us have known and successfully grew that into a passionate love that has lasted. Go us. We communicate not just "more" but "better" than the average couple out there, seeing eye to eye on almost...

thanks for the responses. It's interesting how every person is unique, just like every relationship.

Nre I've noticed something interesting about my own thought patterns, I was just wondering how common this is. I already know that I can be attracted to multiple people, both romantically and sexually, but I CANNOT have NRE for two people at once. It doesn't make sense to me, but if I meet...

I have so much to say on this subject, though I really hate to ramble on. This year I have changed my self esteem dramatically. As a teenager I hated my life. I was a headcase who struggled with depression and anxiety disorders related to having no self esteem. It took less than a month for me...

I keep reading about how much prejudice there is towards us, but in my own personal experience it has been minimal. Sure, people have a hard time understanding sometimes, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how well my friends have taken it. The worst reaction so far was a friend who argued...

Thanks for your input so far, everyone. Apparently it does happen more often than I thought. I'm glad to see that. I had a similar situation, but I can see your point about how it's really no different from starting as two singles. Strangely, I always look at it like I'm becoming a secondary...

Well put. I think I am starting to see why so many people have a hard time with what I am saying. Maybe I should rephrase my question. How common is it for two single people to start a relationship as an open one? Although I'm not single, I remember this being a problem I struggled with when I...

Oh yes many people are both kinky and poly. On the inside I have been a little of both for a long time, but I tried to suppress it. As far as which part is more primary in my life, that's hard to say. I guess they take turns. The short answer is that they are mostly separate parts of my life...

Okay, good! Actually, all of my poly relationships, so far, have been Vs, as well. So the woman you were with before your husband came in, did you both start your relationship with the intention of it being non-monogamous, or did that come after you got to know her?

I've already found so many answers in a similar thread http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=448&highlight=single Thanks to Ceoli for giving a voice to the unheard singles in the community. I wanted to start my own thread just to focus on one particular aspect of the linked thread. (It...

Hello, world! I'm Aaron, 20 straight male PolyDom. I feel I have been poly minded my whole life but only started seeing it as a reality within the last several months. I started meeting others like me when I entered the world of bdsm where polyamory is more easily accepted than it is in...
