    My long poly journey and life in general

    Congratulations….proud moment for all those involved 😆😉. You can be proud you made the right call. Hubby can be proud he pushed / worked through it. AND Bf didn’t accidentally say or do anything to upset things. I’d say a pretty big hurdle has been removed.

    What are married poly women looking for?

    You misunderstood …I suggest a bi or gay poly man wouldnt be going after attached poly women in any kind of significant number. Were these closeted men married to women and poly ? Ok you can’t tell us how many guys you’ve talked with that are posing as straight but could you guess as a...

    What are married poly women looking for?

    I appreciate you sharing all of that. To me it sounds like you and Adam have constructed your poly marriage from the ground up. Your social circles and dating circles have grown or interconnected from the beginning. You’re motivation and philosophy were established pretty much right out of...

    Life can bring surprises

    i completely get not wanting to have sex with someone not wanting to have sex with you but if you’re required to have “ just sex “ to get off …..what the fuck is the difference. Paying a sex work or having you wife perform her duties isn’t it the same on a theoretical emotional level ...

    What are married poly women looking for?

    I think 2 or 3 yrs less than her. So awhile. yes …just a few. 😉😝 Why was it wrong to ask what her and her husbands motivations or mindset would have been upon starting out ? I thought the topic was sort of confined in the space of why poly partnered women aren’t just jumping at the...

    What are married poly women looking for?

    yes but the title of the thread was asking the question regarding poly partnered women. YES …OPPORTUNITY doesn’t mean success. You’re going to have to kiss or blow a lot of frog to find your keeper. i didn’t assume that. I just didn’t think it would have a huge statistical impact It would...

    What are married poly women looking for?

    I’ve also some poly partnered women dont like dating men or women who are novice. Then don’t want to be teachers/ mentor/ therapists to rookies. So that chops of a chunk of availability pool. It’s just a stone cold fact that a women raising her hand as poly will have unlimited opportunity...

    In my experience they are looking for escape. AND maybe something substantially different from their nesting relationship.

    Guilt and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

    I think you’re overlaying thoughts and feeling to a situation that happened yrs ago and trying to make a fair comparison or moral comparison That where the guilt or remorse is coming from. THE difference IMO is the context and structural facts are different. The players are different …you‘re...

    Husband feeling left out

    Not sure how you connect a negative thought or feeling to defining a person who has that thought or feeling. If he invest lots of time money and energy into poly and dating and has little to no success and still feels left behind wouldnt that be valid and not necessarily defining as a person...

    Husband feeling left out

    how do you know these negative feelings/ negative emotions are temporary? You think that the distraction of another partner would make everything OK/ good / great ? why not work on you not feeling guilty ?? Toughen up. Don’t let his bullshit in. Sometime you have to let the babies...

    Control vs. respect: spouse vs. partner

    The reason for my questions was how long did your husband get use to / get in the habit of being in a mono relationship. I made the comment he knew what he was getting into …which is true however the demotion and displacement / loss is still going to be an adjustment. You say after the...

    Philosophical Type Question(s) about hierarchy

    i don’t think history equals hierarchy. Maybe in some theoretical way but I’m having a hard time thinking how that it would show itself in any kind of practical way that demonstrates hierarchy. yes but length of time duration of a relationship doesn‘t automatically translate into status...

    Philosophical Type Question(s) about hierarchy

    ok but triads rarely work long term. 😆 yes …claim very very easy. And I’m sure many actually thing they are however the paper work makes it really difficult to actually achieve. Again they can claim all they want but Barbie’s veto rules and screen process seem to tell a different story...
