    Anti-poly resources

    I'll be brief. I'm currently in a mono relationship and I'm trying to broach the topic of poly with her. I'm not trying to convert her or anything, but just give her some sense of understanding. I'm being met with a fair amount of (what I view as) ignorance. Now, I'm usually good at debating...

    I don't know if I can do this anymore.

    Well I find it interesting that you consider her a perfect match and you want her to yourself to build some kind of life with yet the two of you conflict on a pretty serious issue - She clearly seems to want kids.

    A bit of a life story, out of place.

    Switching gears for a second... Another thing that I thought was my issue for the longest time, before I reached the conclusion that it may just be monogamy in general that was my problem - I've ALWAYS been a relationship person. I can't just 'date' someone... it's actually HARD for me to not...

    A bit of a life story, out of place.

    In Word - this post is 5 pages long. So feel free to ignore it, since it's just a long background; more or less a journey of discovery - and even at this length, I feel it's just the cliff notes. I've always felt something off about myself when it comes to romantic relationships. I had my first...

    Any advice on how to protect partner financially?

    Maybe an extreme suggestion, but technically you could divorce and have one of you marry the woman.
