    This is the end. How did this happen?

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I just want to say thank you again to every single person who posted replies to my threads and helped me get through this. You each offered a unique perspective that really helped me keep my wits about me and not get lost in my emotions. It has been a little...

    This is the end. How did this happen?

    Well thank you everybody. I truly needed some support and you wonderful folks provided. GalaGirl, you really hit the nail on the head for me. By the time Leaf came home from school I was simply at peace. We are done. I asked him to just out with it and he did. He chose her - which I already...

    This is the end. How did this happen?

    I have debated the options if we choose to separate or break up. Leaf is my best friend in the whole world. The idea of having nothing to do with him at all is hard to swallow. It might be necessary though. I know he would like us to remain in contact and for me to continue living in the city we...

    This is the end. How did this happen?

    How can I possibly convince him that it's just NRE? If he lets her go, he will always have that doubt. Wondering what it could have been. He will blame me for that. I believe the only way to stop this from happening is to convince Flower to stay with him and let him be with me too. He will...

    This is the end. How did this happen?

    What I need... I don't know I do need sympathy. I want someone to hug me so bad right now. I am far away from my family and best friends - we moved to a different province two years ago. I have only loved this one man in my whole life. We met when I was 16 and have been in love ever since. We...

    This is the end. How did this happen?

    A little background We have been in an open relationship for 5 years but this is the first attempt at practicing true polyamory because we have both only had casual relationships. The Leaf met Flower and we started really figuring out how this would work when love is involved. I truly believe...

    This is the end. How did this happen?

    Wow. I can't believe how much things have changed since the last time I posted. I thought we were making it work. We were adjusting. Leaf's new love Flower decided she didn't want to share him. I thought she was going to break it off with him and just be friends. She said she can't compete...

    Personal Summaries

    About me Well I have posted a couple times already but I guess I should write a little bio for ya'll. I am a 26 yr old woman in a long-term relationship with my high school sweetheart, a 28 yr old man that I refer to as Leaf. It will be our 10th anniversary on Feb 1, 2013. We started out as a...

    How to bring us back from the edge?

    There is a light Thanks GalaGirl. I appreciate the support. After I posted earlier I started typing to organize my thoughts and prepare for one last effort with Leaf. I am a writer and can always express myself better in type than when I wing it in coversation. I started with a list of...

    How to bring us back from the edge?

    I am back with more questions. After my last post I had a sit down with my boyfriend, Leaf. I had some handouts about polyamory that I had found online at practicalpolyamory.com which I shared with him and told him, "This is what I thought polyamory is supposed to look like." I thought we made...

    First time he's in love with another

    This is always how I have felt about our situation. We never felt like marriage or anything like that because this is what we believe. But when he chooses another so often it make me wonder. Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate all the support. I think I will be back here with more...

    First time he's in love with another

    To clarify: he has gone on one field trip with her and now they are away together with a couple friends this weekend for fun. He paid my way through two years of college a few years back and now I am helping him through one year of university. We are common law and have been living together for...

    First time he's in love with another

    Thank you all for responding. I really appreciate the answers you've all given. I know it does sound pretty bad for me, but I really feel that this is just a growing experience for us both. This is uncharted territory and we are both trying to work it out. When we are together we are happy and...

    First time he's in love with another

    I have been in an open relationship for 5 years now, but neither of us has ever had anything more than flings. My boyfriend of nearly 10 years has found someone he says he has a "deep connection" with and I am having a hard time adjusting to this. They are classmates in university - lab...
