I embedded it as an image (URL). Just noticed it doesn't show up in my mobile browser, but shows up fine on my PC. The initial post has been edited and text added.

Mods, I realize this probably belongs in the 'Fireplace' category. If you can move it, cool.

I couldn't find a suitable thread, so here goes. Share the ads and profiles that make you laugh. Today I came across this one while browsing Nashville CL for no reason other than a brief moment of boredom and curiosity. Just had to share. Text: "Attractive poly couple seeks annoying...

Taken from personal experience: I tend to have strong second thoughts. Additionally, I have second thoughts about relationships with people who seem dedicated to poly but are very early in their experience, especially if they are already in a long term relationship and their partner is also...

No offense intended, but that whole 'pack' thing sounds like a weird cult. Maybe he will get in touch with himself and reject the alpha/beta duality and embrace his sigma self. One can hope.

There is little to no difference, practically speaking, insofar as the way most people perceive those in this situation, in my experience. You're seen as being cuckolded (in the derogatory sense), and you probably won't be able to break that stereotype. We can talk among ourselves about the...

We're also in Nashville, Donelson area to be exact.

It probably correlates to some degree in many cases, but I don't think it's the de facto determining factor of whether every man or woman is polyamorous. I'm male, and my sex drive fluctuates. Sometimes I can romp six times a day. Other times I go a week or two without, no problem. I enjoy...

Token, I feel similarly about my family and most of our friends. My parents are older, old fashioned, and not in the best of health. Them knowing about our lifestyle would just cause unnecessary harm to their state of mind, plus I'd never hear the end of it since my father is a former...

It reads like you feel Pandora's Box has been opened in the relationship between you two. As far as the seeking or expectation of balance/justice, I know exactly how that feels in relation to polyWhatever. That said, balance is brief at best - the scales are always moving from one side to the...

The elk is my totem, plus for the past few years I've been fixated on pondering and studying solar symbolism in religion and mystery teachings. So, ElkSun.

A few things I'd like to point out... Fear often has a worse effect than the object of the fear. Also, be careful not to react to your fears too much, or you might just manifest them into reality. You both seem to genuinely love each other. That, coupled with your willingness to focus on...

NRE = new relationship energy Just keep working with him on it as long as you can handle it. It takes some folks a little longer than others to finally quell their insecurities. Learning to control/direct ones emotions can be challenging. I hope he eventually gains some very strong faith in...

There have been times I've spent evenings alone. At first it was a little difficult (but not overwhelmingly so), but I came to realize the silver linings. I hope you find someone you can occupy your time with during her outings. Until then, consider it YOU TIME... Alone time is great for...

Hi MemphisMeli, I'm in Middle Tennessee. It's always nice to know of more poly people in our state which is essentially the belt-buckle of the bible belt. I've met lots of poly folk in Nashville. I'm curious as to how your husband responded to your request. Care to elaborate on that?
