After experimenting and finding a way to a happy life, it is now time to say hello to the NYC poly community. I’m looking for people who want to share their stories about what they’ve learned and how the growth process that is poly has worked for them. I’m not working on a book or doing...

This woman's story (https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber) mentions that her harassing boss was in an open relationship. I would have preferred if she had somehow made it clear that his behavior would not be considered acceptable by the open or...

Work on What You Want Dear ExMormon, I suggest you take the bull by the horns a bit more and start to figure out what you really want from any woman. You are expressing that your "love tank" is empty, to use the words of Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages. I suggest you read The...

Magdlyn, Great to see analysis of the old testament and polyamory. There are many lessons to be found, for example about restraint. Abraham didn't rush away from Sarah when she was barren. Instead, he stuck with her, but then she provided him with Hagar. After Sarah died, Abraham did marry...

What's in it for your husband? I'm going through something similar right now with my wife. We have a marriage that is open emotionally. I am able to have real relationships with other women that mean a lot to me. She is fine with that because it makes me happy and allows me to share parts of...
