I think anneintherain nailed it on the head. I thought we were in the friends with benefits arena, but its really just benefits and not really a very good friend. DH, I don't hink there was a misunderstanding. I knew he didn't want a relationship, and I was convinced I didn't want one either...

Ok, so I tried doing a search on friends with benefits and didn't seem to quite find what I was looking for. So, having gone through a divorce last fall, the idea of having a friend to spend the night with without a relationship was very appealing. I'd been reading the book, Ethical Slut, and...

turn of events DH - "What I meant by honeymoon phase was ...the fun happy period directly after the wedding..." No, we never did have that. Probably the closest we got was the couple of weeks before I brought up poly. I felt I should finish the story - we had a good talk right before our...

I think it is real but I think it takes the exact right combination of people with their personalities and circumstances for it to happen.

Michelle, I greatly appreciate your thoughts here. They make a lot of sense to me, actually. It seems that Mr. C doing what he's been doing isn't really causing any damage, and maybe I just felt bad that I couldn't be everything for him! Interesting thought considering how I brought up poly...

Sorry, I was talking about what trueRiver had posted earlier in the thread. I had like three quotes but then only one showed up. I'll figure it out eventually!

Holy smokes, I didn't think this would be such a hot topic. I see both sides of this subject, and how we have to decide how open our style of this would be. No, I am not trying to be self-centered or controlling while I go do whatever I want. I think I agree with Riverquite a bit on his view...

I appreciate the humor in what has proven to be a trying time for us. #1 thought on Favre is a diva and traitor. Although I have to say I did enjoy watching him play his last season (reminded me of his prime with the Packers), including the always can count on interception to lose the second...

This is Mrs. Cheesehead. We're from WI and we do love cheese. We have really appreciated this forum and the senior members being able to offer us some thoughts about all of this. No, I wasn't giving an ultimatum, I wasn't threatening anything, and I certainly wasn't seeking anything as any...
