    Doing things the Wrong Way.

    I have a question... does your wife *want* to lose weight? Or is it an issue of your wife wanting to be/feel accepted as she is, however that might be? There are a lot of fat people out there who do not *want* to lose weight. It's far "healthier" to learn how to accept oneself than to attempt to...

    How do I tell her?

    Here's my problem with the whole "tell her bit by bit," "only give her so much information," "don't tell her anything until...?" approach: I believe it puts the person from whom you're withholding the information into a non-consensual position. She didn't decide to be with a person who couldn't...

    Jealousy, Envy, Insecurity, etc.: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    Wellll.... the handle is a bit of a double entendre. Just trying to be as honest about myself as I can be anonymously. ;) We had a very long talk today about things. I don't know exactly where we are headed from here. But we did discuss possible unfixable gaps in compatibility. I do have a...

    Is it polyamory?

    Wow. That sounds awful. I'm sorry. It sounds like she has her own agenda and she doesn't seem to concerned with how you feel. I have only seen your side of things. Maybe you could invite her to join the forum? Read up on what she's doing? It sounds to me like you are more upset about dishonesty...

    Poly-themed Movies

    Frida! I'm surprised that no one mentioned the film "Frida." It's pretty much all about the relationship between Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera, which was pretty much full-on poly by today's standards. I think it actually does a good job of representing the complexities and problems that come...

    Jealousy, Envy, Insecurity, etc.: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    Floodgates open... what to do? I'm not going to say that I've never exhibited jealousy in our relationship prior to my partner's decision to change things. I have had issues with a couple of her exes that I'm pretty sure we *still* haven't resolved. But now that things have changed... I don't...

    PTSD and non-monogamy

    So... I was just curious if there are other folks out there who deal with PTSD, and if so, if your experience of polyamory or other non-monogamy has helped you get through issues? I am not promoting using polyamory as a form of psychotherapy, I am just wondering if there are folks who feel a...

    I appreciate what I have, and so I use what I got.

    I mean, I guess I'm not really worried what people think on here as much as I want a say in which bits of my own personal information/history get shared.

    We'll talk together and decide which tidbits to share, thanks.

    I think maybe the next boundary we need to negotiate is how much of our sex life gets posted on the internet...:confused: Sweety, I am glad that last night was pleasing for both of us but I have to say that it makes me a little nervous to think that after we make love it's gonna go down as a...

    How to....

    I think it's important to be honest and open with her about your feelings. You said that your wife is open to the idea... if you all approach her gently and sincerely, she might really be happy about it. If you and your wife give off the vibe that you are talking about "what to do with your...
