Thanks for your replies on this topic :-) Has anyone here had direct experience of custody problems because of polyamorous status?

The marriage thread I wrote got me thinking.. Anyone here who is poly and out can probably think of examples when we have encountered prejudice.. but what about discrimination? I have in my head that really the only rights issue affecting us is the one of legal marriages, and that most of the...

Ah tried back button again and now I have it! Hi everyone. I just wanted to say thanks , as this has been a really interesting discussion to read. It's frustrating that we can't legally marry more than one partner, as the inequality of the idea of marrying one and not the other is really...

Bah logged in, typed reply, then when I posted it asked me to log in again and now it's gone. Bah no time to type whole thing again- for now thanks for your replies :o De

Hi I am fully out now, to the point that my kids schools know and I turn up with two partners to family events. It is SO liberating, and for those who can (because I realise not everyone can , or wants to) I recommend it! De

Nice idea! Are you looking for a specific structure such as Quad, triad or V. No, I never have been. I am just looking for the freedom to love those who I love, and allow that to naturally find its space and build it's own path. Using the descriptions I see others use here, I am the middle...

Hi tigrrrlily So sorry to hear of your loss. :( I have lost a few partners to monogamy over the years. I do think it is a common (but utterly wrong) misconception of others, that poly people are carefree about moving from one relationship to another (and I also find it really annoying!). This...

Thanks for your replies about this and I look forward to hearing anything else anyone has to offer on this subject.:) De

:D Oh I am a soppy thing. See, when I think 'three people in love', I just think SO ROMANTIC (this one is outside my experience, but not outside my boundaries) :o

I don't know how much this varies elsewhere, but here in the UK I may not marry more than one person, in the eyes of the law. In terms of traditions previous to this law, there are other types of wedding which exist but which are not legally recognised (or recognised by 'the church'). I would...

Congratulations! :o:)

Ah being pigeon holed is a pain huh. I think lots of people think you should 'pick a team' and stick with it but (speaking as a pansexual person) it's not a very liberated view ;-) It is also not easy because most people don't get poly, so they scrabble for a model they understand. 'kinky...

Hi, I am new here, so this will be my first discussion post. I thought it might be worth sharing my own experience a tad. I have one almost teen, and two almost five-year olds. (I am in the UK.) With my eldest I kept it quiet for years. Back then, I lived with her other parent and I saw other...

thanks :-)

Just thought I'd say hello.. just joined. Found you while looking for the new polyamoury site http://www.polyamory.org.uk/ I'm from the Manchester area and have been actively polyamorous for about 17 years now, so I'm new here, but not so new to polyamoury. I'm involved in the BDSM scene, the...
