Challenging That's definitely a challenging situation that you are in. It is good that your family is now aware and hopefully they will adjust in more positive ways than negative.

Welcome Welcome and best wishes on you and your husband's journey.

Welcome!

I can maybe understand the moments of wanting someone there consistently for companionship. You want to be able to share daily life sometimes or just have that support. As a single woman with only friends (many of whom are not local) I have my intense moments of loneliness. Just the need to...

How long have you been on your journey to finding a love? It may just be a matter of patience and time. Yes, I agree with the previous post that your position is common, but its not impossible to overcome? Are you open to long distance relationships, even if looking several hours away from you...

Thank you Shaya. I am definitely working on interesting activities. I hope to brush up on my swim skills and take some lessons. Your words were very insightful.

Hi GalaGirl, Thanks for responding. As far as my child adjusting, I really had no set expectations about when she would adjust. I guess some guilt has set in in regards to her even having to deal with that. I was hoping for her sake that her adjustment would be as smooth as possible. She's...

Things are actually decent on the poly front. I have been dating and learning a lot about myself so I am grateful for that. I decided around the time I got divorced that I was not really even interested in a relationship for a while. Its just that loneliness hit all of a sudden and persisted for...

It has been a while since I have posted here. I am experiencing a wave of emotions right now. I have been divorced for 9 months now. Not a very long time. I will admit that one of the big reasons for that divorce is that I felt that I grew and discovered more about myself as being a polyamorous...

Thanks. I proceeded with that, but when you have people who don't understand, they don't. He asked us the last time we had sex and proceeded to tell him, I'm not a highly sexual person anyway. You can just see the confusion in his face. Then my husband proceeds with "but she wants to be...

Hey Galagirl, The lawyer we met with was actually a lawyer a brought to the table to mediate a collaborative divorce as my husband and I negotiate. Essentially because I'm filing, the lawyer legal advises and represents me but can give my husband information that's relevant for him to consider...

Thanks Spork. It's unfortunate that's what those who misunderstand poly tend to think. That it's about promiscuity, that you as a participant can't make the right decisions as a parent. As a result of him hinting he might get dirty, I have reached out to a couple poly friendly lawyers in my...

Thank you Autumn. As time goes on and as I become more and more comfortable in my sexual and romantic orientation, I'm finding comfort in that. Again, thank you.

I'm Sorry Essentially is the feeling I'm having today for choosing to end my marriage. Had a meeting with my husband and a lawyer. The primary dispute we keep having is joint physical custody of my daughter. Lawyer was explaning pros and cons of all of it. Near the end of the meeting my...

Very glad to hear about your art gallery opportunity. Sounds exciting.
