    Have nesting partner, was poly once before, now conflicted

    Welcome! Would you mind going back into your post and editing it to use nicknames instead of initials for the other people? We ask members to do this because it makes reading and understanding much easier. Thanks. :)

    Allosexual husband of an asexual wife explores options

    SpMd, I appreciate you shared more about your journey. I hope your insights help Fogul. However, you left people on your own thread hanging and added your updates here on this other person's blog instead. Questions were asked on your own thread that went unanswered. You seem to answer them...

    Advice needed, please...

    I edited your posts to give a name to your now ex-gf. Just for clarity's sake, we ask members to give nicknames to their partners and metamours. I think you and Hubby and Wife are lucky to have a solid triad. (At least, you sound solid.) I guess all three women are/were submissives to Hubby...

    Poly Couple very new to lifestyle

    Polyamory isn't "the lifestyle." Poly practitioners don't use that term. It's more often used for and by swingers, those who mostly "play" (have casual sex) in couples. Polyamory isn't first and foremost about sex. Nor is it about group sex in triads or quads or more. It's about loving multiple...

    Settling In

    Knowing Adam, a vacation for several days? close to a week? to an entirely different country might be too much too soon. Maybe just start with a kinda local vacay of three days to a cute BnB and ease Adam into it. That will probably be hard enough on him.

    Safety and security

    My general modus operandi is to tell my gf what his name is, his phone number, where we'll be meeting, and approximately how long I think I'll be out. I meet in a public place. Rarely do I bring someone home on the same day after a first meet and greet. Then on the second date, we might meet in...

    A newbie and an already established relationship-- please help

    I agree with Evie. You've only been dating Lex for three months. You're deep in NRE. Everyone is on their best behavior for the first few months to a year. NRE fizzles over time, depending on one's personality and how often one sees one's new partner. Usually it's gone by two years in, unless...

    A newbie and an already established relationship-- please help

    Hi, welcome to the board. Mod note: would you please go back and add nicknames for your partner and their spouse? It really helps with clarity and ease of reading, and even moreso when using the pronouns they/them, to use actual names for the people you are involved with. Thanks!

    Navigating poly post newborn

    Most new parents have no idea what it's going to be like, no matter what people tell them, or what they read about what to expect. Of course, some people do have easy babies, or the mom doesn't breastfeed and they have nannies and housekeepers, and so their lives don't change as much. But...

    FWBs with someone in an open relationship

    Let me be straight with you. It seems to me like you avoid slightly tough situations and then flounder in a no-man's land, not knowing what's going on. I suggest you lean into unclear situations and set things straight. What's the worst that could happen? An undependable man leaves your life...

    Navigating poly post newborn

    New babies make our lives crazy and complicated no matter what our situation is, a mono couple, a single parent, or a poly couple in a network. Parents of new babies don't really go "on dates." They are usually too exhausted to get dressed and go out for an evening date. The best time for a...
