Unfortunately, there are a huge number of people who make up this country who are very uneducated, very ignorant, very selfish, and very lazy. I have a name for them that I will not post here as it is very offensive. You can see a lot of these people in the aisles of Walmart, for example...

I had a sort of similar situation a while back, which is what brought me to the board in the first place...I guess I can't really explain the whole thing because it was over a year-long journey before I realized a relationship with my then-bf was going not going to work at all. He wanted to be...

Unfortunately I do not have time to read every single post on here, but I did peruse most. I am going to totally walk into unknown territory here (being not poly really at all, merely interested) and try to put in my two cents. It sounds to me that, Ceoli, you are wanting a relationship in...

No, I don't think I will back off the boards completely. Thanks for your encouragement!

thank you for sharing. it's always nice to get a face to an idea. :)

This was a response to an email Mono sent me and I thought I would share my response here just to...well, share! "either way...yes i have not been on too much, though i do pop on and check on everyone occasionally. I have found that since Legion has been on it has felt like my posts are public...

I really think this is GREAT!:D This makes a lot of sense to me and puts it in a way that is very simple. I think a lot of discussions and arguments I have had with people (mono and poly) are all about these two items listed above. In a nutshell. Good work!

Here it is again. Comparing the dynamics of one relationship with others you have had. You had agreements and ways of doing things and such with all other partners and you consistently believe that any relationship currently and ahead of you is/should have the same dynamics. I am NOT those...

I agree that I am not poly-capable in the way Legion approaches it. Obviously, I am a lot more exclusive and strict in my preferences. But I have my own separate relationships on the side of all this that I am gaining more ground on, and I am coming to realize that because I feel capable of...

Potential is a bad word, I know. I remember a friend of mine from long ago telling me to never date a man with potential. "If he ain't got it now, he ain't never gonna have it," she said. I guess seeing the potential sets up expectations. You see what could be, what might be, and then come in...

I guess I am drawn back into it because I see potential. I hope that I can get through whatever it is that is making me jealous and crazy, and break through to the other side where things can be good. I am beginning to see that, although I am new to the idea of polyamory, there are definitely...

I'm sorry, but I am confused. She is asking if you can sleep together yet, and you respond, "I know you're scared. Whenever you think you're ready"? Who was waiting for whom here?

Looks like a case of having to agree to disagree. Legion and I have very different perceptions of the same scenario. Neither of us is right, neither is wrong in the larger picture. Unfortunately, we all only have our own perceptions to go on. He and I had a conversation today about how only our...

Well, I don't know if I would say the relationship is all about sex, but is seems it certainly started off that way, maybe, at least, from her perspective. It makes me wonder why he would risk losing our relationship, which he claims is *so* important to him, in order to be with this girl who...
