Sorry in advance if this is somewhat disorganized thinking. I'm on a bus between cities right now and there hasn't been much sleep today/last night. Last night my partner, Tor was on a date. We were talking right after he finished work and when I thought he was on his way to meet this woman...

Thank you, that was exactly what I needed to hear. I'm just hoping I don't upset Tor by the lack of happiness before I can feel it again. My dad’s cough is doing better today and he’s able to do basic things like walk and get dressed without needing to stop for breath so the steroids are...

It seems like you're taking a lot of responsibility for Kelly's emotions. While it's good that you two are communicating about how she feels, it might be more useful to focus on what you need and let Kelly learn how to manage her expectations. It sounds like you need your space to be your space...

From personal experience it seems like there are three groups of people. People who always had poly tendencies and just never really spent a lot of time with monogamy, people who had poly tendencies and were either serial monogamists or cheaters or preferred to have lots of casual partners...

Thank you for the welcoming! Toe is pretty darn wonderful. I'm looking forward to being a part of the community.

Hi there! My name is ara, I've been poly since I can remember (my dad has stories about Barbie always have two or three Kens) and I'm in the middle of a couple of big life transitions with my primary partner, Tor. I'm hoping to maintain a blog on this site, which you can find here if you would...

Hi there! My partner, Tor, and I are going through some big life changes at the moment and it's brought up some interesting and intense feelings on both sides. We've been having a lot of fantastic, in depth conversations, but after reading through some other blogs it felt like maybe this will...
