    Still learning to ride the wave

    I've been reading the "Attached" book by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller. Awesome read! I'm for sure the anxious type--which i already knew but I got the ultimate confirmation with behaviors and thought patterns mentioned in the book that I've experienced so many times. I've been working with my...

    I was a simp. Not proud of it. Any saving it?

    people* dont respect other people* on dating apps. or anymore in general. I could start an entire thread on how shit men are on dating apps. but i know that's got more to do with my sample size (i have a lot of straight female friends) than the fact that MeN dOnT rEsPeCT wOmEN aNyMOrE On THeSe...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    As Pea has been away, I have done a lot of thinking. It has taken me awhile to get comfortable with the subtle dancing Pea, Joe and I do around each other. I grew up in a household where lies were normal and so were loud, violent arguments, and I was in a romantic relationship for several years...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    Not a 100% positive post (gee I should've posted AS SOON as I got back from vacation lol) but a real one. I had a great time traveling with Joe and Pea. I cried on the way back to the airport with Pea. We were having so much fun, I didn't want it to end :') There was a moment where Pea was...

    going on a trip with boyfriend, husband is hurt

    I did lol. I read up to this post before I left and it was helpful. The last few days before taking off with Pea were a little difficult between Joe and me, but ultimately Joe really appreciated traveling on his own for a week. Pea was over the moon that we got to travel alone together. I'm not...

    going on a trip with boyfriend, husband is hurt

    Just tuning back into this! His answer: he loves me, sees me as his wife, and doesn't think me being poly changes that. He enjoys hanging out with Pea and me. A note on openness that @Tinwen mentioned: Joe says something similar, so maybe that's a trending sentiment among mono ppl with polys. I...

    going on a trip with boyfriend, husband is hurt

    Wow, I appreciate everyone's feedback! I was going to reply to each, but that's going to take way too long and there are some common threads. I totally understand the take some had, that a Caribbean trip was not the same as an adventurous CR thing. A few people mentioned that, and it's not...

    going on a trip with boyfriend, husband is hurt

    In defense, I'm not one to come on here to say "everything is going great"... and if i do it isn't in the poly relationships corner.

    poly living arrangements

    oop these are a lot of replies! thanks everyone! it's cool to see so many diff living configurations in one place. Some notes: Separate rooms for everyone is SO nice. Joe just moved his stuff into an empty room upstairs and I feel single in a way I didn't think i needed. I definitely...

    poly living arrangements

    hopefully this is in the right place! maybe more of a general poly discussion? but it's something ive thought about a lot in reference to my specific situation. Two partners and I live together. In the near future (i.e. once I graduate) I am looking forward to making more $$ and not having...

    Need help, first time

    This! It's a lot easier to be happy in a poly relationship (and any relationship for that matter) if you accept the potential limits (i.e. not being able to have your own kid with this person, perhaps not living together full time) and instead of lamenting them (if you decide they are acceptable...

    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ A couple cool dreams that have to do with poly! *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ the stone fell out of my marriage ring (i say marriage ring because Joe and I didn't have a wedding lol) and joe found it and put it back. it was teardrop shaped and much larger than it is irl, with gold and diamonds wrapped...
