Bring it on! I need a reality check sometimes. That’s why I’m here. When I responded yesterday I only saw MeeraReed’s second post. Now that I read the first post as well, I understand there were also considerations suggested other than Emma’s past to consider with the whole moving in thing, so...

Have we reckoned with it? Yeah, I think so. It's complicated, because back then when it was happening, she told me she didn't regret it. But later she told me that she was just broken, and that she regretted it all along, but it's like she couldn't admit it because she was defensive and...

Almost... Later that year, Emma got an HPV diagnosis, and we both kind of freaked out. I couldn’t be diagnosed myself, since there isn’t a test for men, but it’s safe to say I caught it too. Anyway, this is around the time when we sort of hit rock bottom. Emma also left her job around this...

I just need to download all of this… or is it upload? Anyway, I’m divorced in my mid-thirties and have a child with my ex. Well, she’s not exactly my “ex” anymore. We divorced because things really weren’t working in some ways, but looking back, it was still working in other ways. It was a sex...

I have been with my girlfriend for a few years now. We do live together, but split finances 50/50. We both make an income but I recently graduated from college and began making several times more money than she does. I never really thought about marriage much because my girlfriend always said...

I appreciate the ideas. I do not really have hobbies or interests that are commonly shared with women. Whitewater rafting, that sounds exciting! Is that dangerous? Do hobbies like that help you meet women? When I am out at the bar I don't really get any eye contact. I end up sitting at the bar...

Thank you everyone for the feedback. What are "cool hobbies"? I'd like to know what makes a man interesting. I do not feel like I get friend zoned, I feel like I don't get noticed at all. Sometimes I get so frustrated at the poly imbalance with my girlfriend that I want to stop trying poly...

My girlfriend and I agreed that one day a week we will go out alone to meet new people. My girlfriend is constantly booked for dates, either from her online profile or from going out and meeting people. Many times she will go out and hookup without even having a date scheduled. She likes one...

Thank you, GalaGirl, for the kind words. I just want to clarify that I am not trying to say Emma assaulted me. Please be cautious about how you are interpreting what I am saying. I don't want to talk to a counselor about it. I need to talk to Emma about it. Deep down, I don't think she really...

Thank you for pointing out the obvious. Do you think I don't know that already?! I am not a sub. Or I don't think I am. One more thing that I didn't want to originally share is that we work together and she is technically my superior at work. The night I had unprotected sex with her, I was...

I guess I wasn't clear that Emma and I were close friends before we started having a sexual relationship. I love her and I want to make it work. I just feel so many things right now, like everything is up in the air and just a mess because of one night. I'm not convinced that breaking up is...

Hi everyone. 32m here. I recently started an open/poly relationship with someone in my friend circle, Emma. She is sort of power hungry and dominating and forward about sex, and until recently I appreciated it about her. About two weeks ago she went to a conference in New Orleans with her...
