    When you need a good cry

    I'm not sure about netflix, I watched it via other means online... It's a Canadian film I believe, not sure if that makes a difference though.. do a search, see if anything comes up. Quite honestly, just watching the preview made me tear up a little...

    When you need a good cry

    I'm sure you've all been there, watching a movie or show or listening to a friend's story and you think "If ONLY they were poly, there'd be a happier ending." Tonight, I was feeling like a good, sappy movie and found Take This Waltz, a truly beautiful film. I recommend it to anyone who feels in...

    Ugh.. dating

    No tips, but all I can say is... I know how you feel :/ Especially this bit: If you find any, please share? :) Something I do that helps; find a solo activity you enjoy and lose yourself in it. For me, that's homework and running (when not chasing my kids or helping my wife with something)...

    Hello from Central/Upstate New York

    *Raising my hand* Indeed, there are a few of us. If no one has yet informed you, there's also a forum more specific to NYS: TheBirdCage.org Others here can fill you in more on that, however, as the Mods there are members here as well... In any case, welcome!

    I could use some help understanding my partner.

    I strongly agree with what CielDuMatin has stated, which I surmise is in accordance with what others in the community would say. Now, I'm no wise elder of said community. I'm fresh off the boat in this strange new land, but my wife and I have done some deep, deep conversing about what our...

    2 primary relationships, new engagement

    First, stop thinking about what you're going to say, or how the other person will react. If it must be said or is important, say it. This is what being open is. A disclaimer before the floodgates open is acceptable in most cases, but understand that if someone can't handle what you have inside...

    Why is it harder?

    No clones, just some rather tight scheduling. I have 2 kids, my son is 6yrs and daughter is 12 months. I'm able to juggle so far with the help of a really great mom (who's also a former teacher from my son's school) who provides cheap daycare. I do some online courses, but mostly on-campus...

    Why is it harder?

    Thanks everyone for the input. As I stated at the beginning of my post, this was just a rant. I'm fairly realistic about any relational possibilities, now or in the future. I'm really, truly just hoping to meet a few folks and make some friends, as I have been putting most other priorities...

    Why is it harder?

    Would love to! Let's see.. next opening in my schedule is........... Part of the problem is that I live at least 30 minutes outside of any metro area, and I'm also a full-time student as well as a full-time stay at home dad. We'll see ;)

    Why is it harder?

    CielDuMatin, Firstly, I too am on OKCupid and share your progress. I am starting to feel that such sites are merely for men to pursue women and women to receive attention. That said, I actually have come across both lovefromgirl's profile and yours (through hers, obviously), so I think we're in...

    Growing pains and a wee bit o' confusion

    I feel your pain, as I am currently going through a similar situation myself with my wife. We've always had a great relationship, and we're somehow even closer since talking about opening up to poly (and the sex is somehow better, too...). She's found a beau, yet it's long distance and nothing...

    Why is it harder?

    Disclaimer: a bit of a rant here. So, if you've read my previous (first) post here, you're privy to the details and background of my story. If not, I'll give you the abridged version. My wife and I, through whatever catalyst, introspection and soul searching has led us here, are moving into...

    New to this... a few questions/concerns

    Disclaimer; I'm new to the community and the philosophy (for lack of a better word) of poly, so I can only speak from a standpoint of personal opinion. That said, two things come to mind, both of which have helped my wife and I in our exploration. Firstly, do some serious emotional...

    Looking for info, advice and resources

    Great bit of advice there. I must say however that I am more likely the one to feel inadequate, as I am working through some personal insecurities. Kudos on the multiple orgasms though, something I as a man would love to experience ;) My wife and I have, over the last several days, had some...
