Very true.

....not sure. Had a talk with my mom about my boyfriend. She asked some very provocative questions. Is what you're getting out of this worth the cost? Are you attached to this person? Where do you see your relationship in 1, 3, 5 years? Does this relationship have room to grow? Will this...

If you are living/sleeping together, that goes beyond "just friends" to me. So his agreement with you is "Be in a serious relationship with me, make sacrifices for me, (but don't say you love me) until someone who can bear my children comes along"? I have never met the guy, obviously, but...

Really love this thread! couple of things people have said that I can fully relate to... 1. We are the forgotten letter of the LGBTQ (bi's are just "confused" to some...grr) 2. As a bi, poly woman, many would assume that I'm poly simply so I can have a man and a woman in my life. (Untrue! I...

Just an opinion, but the bible itself has very little influence on the beliefs of many "Christians". They mostly just believe what is acceptable according to what their preacher/other people at church/their politician of choice says. In summary, religion, even the most peaceful, well-meaning...

It's such a liberating feeling to not have to hide, isn't it? As an update...my bf has told his mother about our relationship. She does not approve, at all. I probably won't meet her now.

This seems very strange to me, and unsettling. Have you talked to your wife about the reasons this bothers you? Did you all ever talk about the possibility of random hookups and whether this would be okay? For me, I don't want random hookups, but my husband might like to have that. We talked...

This, too. :) Lovely.

This. Some people just want to control situations they don't understand...it's sad, really.

My boyfriend's mom is coming to see him (she lives several hours away). He wants me to meet her tonight. Having mixed feelings about that. His dad has not exactly made me feel welcome, and has spread rumors throughout his family about his son. :( I'm not taking any of it personally, but I feel...

Thanks, everyone. I'm just glad we can all be together without tension now. :)

I feel like I've written about my situation a lot on here, but I'll review briefly what happened over Thanksgiving... My husband was going through some family issues and as a result was feeling much more anxious/insecure than usual. Before this incident, the three of us (my husband, my bf and...

My husband left the option open for me because he didn't really have any plans. My boyfriend has plans that involve family...and they haven't been the most welcoming to me lately (long story). I think my husband and I are going to try to see a good friend of ours that only visits occasionally...

One of the biggest mistakes I made with my boyfriend in the beginning was trying to keep his relationship with me within strict parameters. He was supposed to be my "fuck buddy," but we just clicked so well that trying to restrict our feelings was futile. Keeping within the same spirit, trying...

I'm glad you have help in your time of need, bigguy! Best wishes for your wife's recovery. I'm very proud/impressed with my husband. He has been talking to someone and is becoming close to her, but he is taking things slowly, and in stride. When I asked if he was going to date her he said "I...
