Let me just throw in here, that in my experience as a professional student, 'getting a girlfriend' does NOT reduce stress. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, just that having that expectation might be unreasonable. As far as how I date... generally I've had the best luck meeting compatible...

In my opinion it's very, very difficult for a 'third' to meet a couple for whom they share equal connection to both partners. I think it's important to allow each new 'couple' to develop their relationship at its own pace. How are you meeting these new people? Who is making the initial contact...

Hello friends! I wanted to let everyone know I've noticed a lot of traffic over the last few days to my blog through this thread and I wanted to sincerely thank you for your interest. I just added a guestbook application so that anyone who feels so inclined can leave me general comments...

I'm going to chime in here in agreement with BigGuy. Your boyfriend is choosing to remain 'under the wing' of his parents, and they are treating him as child because of it. Until he moves out and becomes independent from them I feel like they do have a right to some say about his lifestyle and...

Thanks for the clarifications. I agree with AnnabelMore that it sounds like you're doing a good job at discussing everything between you and your husband and approaching the growing relationship(s) well. I suggest that some of these topics be broached with KC, as well, e.g., discussing what to...

I'm glad you are feeling more relaxed and content with the situation, and hope all works out well for you and your partners. I'm hoping you keep us up to date on things too, because I'm exceedingly curious how this will turn out for you. Take care.

That you think Eden feels this way tells me that she may just not be able to emotionally handle the relationship. Love is not finite, but as long as she thinks it is, she is going to take issue with Bryce dividing his attentions. This reminds me so much of my former quad. My girlfriend would...

Agreed, and well said.

This subject was discussed some in my former quad, but we never got to the point where it was truly an option on the table. I think, before bringing a child into the world, every adult in the family should be comfortable with and committed to the idea. The question I have is: what specifically...

in response to your specific question: IMO poly people can have one night stands. Individuals in a poly relationship need to negotiate if this is acceptable for the particular relationship. That's not why I responded to your post though... Something I felt was worth sharing is that I've come...

Hi Everyone! I've just started a blog, and would like to invite anyone interested to visit. It's at http://scarletsredletters.blogspot.com In brief, I'm a married mom and grad student, agnostic and exploring wiccan teachings, kinky but on hiatus, and (of course) poly and just now getting back...

(((Hugs))) Bookbug, I'm so sorry for what you are going through. As I read your story, I felt a real connection to you, because of my experiences over the last year. I was part of a MFFM quad which was powerfully passionate and eventually exploded brilliantly due to inherent personality...
