Lincoln is non-verbal autistic. Right now, not much change, and he's fine. When the move finalizes, we'll see how he does with shared spaces. I feel as though when he's informed and told what to expect, he is very go-with-the-flow. Thanks! All the good vibes are welcome.

Long time no update. Not too much changed. Except, a lot did change recently. Jean is leaving / separating. Within a day or two of telling me she also broke it off with Ricky. That being said, he's still messaging her, and with the way Jean is, a sexual encounter(s) wouldn't be out of the...

I’m surprised I’m the first (or one of the first) to reply to this. Chances are the lack of response is just that this post happened a bit more overnight for us USA forum users. To the point though, I think you kind of hit it. I (and probably others) appreciate the use of your caveats - that...

I'm so sorry I didn't see / respond to this sooner. There is actually a meetup group for some Maryland poly stuff (Of course now I can't find the link.) And if they're on Meetup, then I'm sure there's a Facebook group too.

(^^^ The Reddit opinion. I just wanted to make sure, in case anybody singles out my post and your quote, that it's understood to be out of context.) I do wonder if this is partly why I have also seen such high praise, or pride taken in identification of "solo-poly." Solo poly is sought after -...

I hope it's okay if I reply to this. I just wanted to say that I couldn't agree more with what you said! I'm behind on my reading list, so I'm sure I'll eventually hit that poly thread at some point. I know how that subreddit can be - I've talked about it before stating (and half joking) that...

I didn't know this was a thing. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to look in to it.

Hey there, I'd like to try and see if I could at least relate. I mean, I feel like I'm relating to a lot of what you wrote, and hopefully talking can help. Let me first give you a rundown of myself. Better yet, I'll just link it, and we'll get to what you want to talk about... There are a...

^^ There's another thread where the comments are littered with people saying that [insert bad characteristic that happens to coincide/compare with trait mentioned in the article above] are things to stay away from. And to your point, the original poster is ALMOST literally saying, "Maybe because...

TLDR: I'm with you Seasoned, I just think articles like this and the people who twist are people who are constantly seeing / dealing with some really bad experiences. I wrote a huge draft, and have deleted it because I just want to get to the nuts and bolts of you writing: This is really...

Chances are I would let something like that go and seek out more dates. But, maybe that just means I'm more desperate? **** I'm sorry if this is boiling down the topic a bit too much, and please feel free to correct me, or ignore me so that it can stay on topic... But, is this sort of like...

The last few weeks for you have been ... something. I sincerely hope things turn around.

Update on people (correction on some naming too, I got confused on aliases, and luckily didn't use anyone's real name): Me: 40, m Jean: 38, f, wife, nesting partner, mom to Lincoln Lincoln: 7 (son to me and Jean, non-verbal autistic, he is a handful) Ricky, meta: 36, m, Jean's boyfriend...

As an update, my therapist and I spoke a little more about my son yesterday. He's non-verbal autistic, and at the age of 7, really starting to show his ADHD, as well. I could tell she was trying to see if I had any emotional turmoil regarding him and his diagnosis, kind of wondering if I ever...

I'm stealing an idea from SEASONEDpolyAgain, and putting people in a link to my signature, and this post will service that. Me: 40, m Jean: 38, f, wife, nesting partner, mom to Lincoln Lincoln: 7 (son to me and Jean, non-verbal autistic, he is a handful) Ricky, meta: 36, m, Jean's boyfriend...
