KItty and I have another date this weekend---yay! We've been chatting a few months, but life has been crazy so this is only our second in person date. I threw out a few suggestions, so we'll see what she decides on. I'm kind of hoping she chooses the comedy club, because I could use some...

I was on Ok Cupid and Fetlife and honestly, there was a lot of crossover. I felt like the people I had the most in common with had both, maybe because it was nice to see both sides of them. So honestly I had luck with both of those. <3

Hills and Valleys I kind of set a rule for myself that I wouldn't talk to any more than four people seriously at a time. It's hard because sometimes there's the inevitable hills and valleys; the days where you can't stop talking to each other and then things sort of drift apart. Lady A is not...

Sorry to hear about your health issues. It's so frustrating when things come and go like that. Those head pieces are gorgeous, and I absolutely love your outfits!

Yes, for about four years now -- I actually have a lot of friends who are poly and there is a large population in the city I live. It's kind of crazy how large the population is after you "come out."

Welcome! This has been a safe space for me, and I hope it is for you as well. <3

Life Lately I had a second date with Lady A this week. Since she brought chocolates to our first date, I wanted to bring something this time. She has a bearded dragon at home, so I made a cute little bearded dragon cross-stitch for her to hang up at home. There isn't a whole lot to do on a...

Definitely agree with you on this. I didn't bring up polyamory to my husband because I wanted or needed him to be "higher value" in any way and frankly, that's a little insulting. My husband is enough. My partners are enough. I think the relationship with ourselves is the one we work on the most.

I meant to say your relationship WITH yourself.

Of course, no one can ever fully know what’s happening inside someone else’s relationship. But based on what you shared, it seems like this situation may be benefiting your husband and your friend more than it’s benefiting you. You are a vital part of this equation, and your needs matter just...

To me, this isn't jealousy but grief. It’s grief for a version of your marriage that didn’t get much time to exist before parenthood took over and that your husband is getting to live a slice of life with someone else that you never really got with him. And that hurts. You are handling this...

Breakups are the WORST. I'm not going to give you any advice, just say that I commiserate with you.

Hi, David! Polyamory, like everything else in the world, is an adventure. Honestly, learning how to deal with all these new feelings can be very eye-opening and help you build your relationship yourself (at least in my opinion) to become more confident. Best of luck to you. <3

I definitely think it's different for anyone. Our world is still very "mono-centric" as Kevin said, so it's probably going to be awhile before these conversations are prior to new relationships with people. I "came out" out to my husband as poly after we'd been together at least five years, when...

I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It I had my first date with a woman I guess...ever? The last woman I had a fling with was more of a friend that turned into something more. I met Lady A on FetLife a few weeks after posting an old school "seeking" ad. She was one of maybe five women that messaged me...
