2:16 p.m., Thursday the 28th The cleaning lady is here today ("Jill"). She does a really good job, so I look forward to her service. Eddie has been barking more than usual. Last night SB (and the dogs) (and the rats) (and the gerbil) had Barn Hunt practice, and it was after 9:00 p.m. when she...

Hello ArnsonVomDach, It sounds like you will have to make a conscious effort to be more affectionate (especially verbally affectionate) when you feel less "threatened" by her other partner/s (your metamour/s). Do keep her updated on your anxious attachment style and the efforts you are making...

2:27 p.m., Wednesday the 27th We just had odds and ends for dinner last night, I had a can of split pea soup (Chunky). SB did also make BLT's for us. The relatives said their goodbyes to us, although the mom/stepfather might visit us again during their return trip in a few days or so. SB had...

Greetings Bunbun11, Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc. It is really good to hear that you and your husband have been having talks, improving your sexual relationship, and exploring the concept of open/poly. Opening your marriage is a good direction, just take it slow...

It's encouraging that Del5158 was so open and understanding of his wife having other partners. Hopefully this will encourage other people who come across this thread.

3:22 p.m., Tuesday the 26th The aunt/uncle don't seem to be around today, but the mom/stepfather are still around. Last night we had takeout (Chinese -- SB's stepfather was okay with sweet/sour chicken), I don't know what the plan is for tonight. Last night I had vegetable chow mein. At this...

Hi mountaingirl, I live in one house with my partner (Snowbunny) and my metamour (Brother-Husband). I have my own bedroom, with an attached bath (shower). I would say we have a kitchen table V, we all eat dinner together, and talk together about how things are between us, and what needs to be...

Hello coosto, Stereotypes have changed a lot since the Middle Ages, especially with regard to the royal class, when marriage was a totally political action, if someone was old "enough," that was good enough for marriage. Age is a much more serious consideration in this day and age, than it was...

Greetings polysomethingsomething, Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc. There are two prominent styles of polyamory, one is called parallel poly, the other is called kitchen table poly. It sounds like you have been advised to do kitchen table, that is to make friends with...

That's really sweet of her. It sounds like your bond with her is growing.

11:40 a.m., Monday the 25th Dinner Saturday night was Chinese takeout (via Grubhub, I think). I had egg foo young, can't remember what Brother-Husband and Snowbunny had, we each had an eggroll as an appetizer. Of course we each had a fortune cookie for dessert. My fortune was, something like...

4:35 p.m., Saturday the 23rd SB and Ginger just got back from Barn Hunt Trial a few minutes ago. BH should get home from work any minute now. Dinner last night was takeout from Flying Star. I got an egg salad sandwich (by far my favorite from there), and coleslaw. For the next few days, some...

4:44 p.m., Friday the 22nd Last night we just had pasta/meatballs (turkey meatballs I think) for dinner -- not terrible, but not what I'd write home about. Today, the dogs had Barn Hunt Trial in Corrales, I believe. Eddie did so-so, and Ginger jumped on a bale and ran through a tunnel, but...

Hi sylvie, Thanks for updating us. I am excited for you that you are dating your ex, even though it sounds like ex's other partner (your metamour) doesn't like it. Your ex should have been more transparent and forthright with his other partner from the beginning. He has made the mess, and it's...

4:04 p.m., Thursday the 21st We had takeout from Krung Thai. Really good. The forum isn't very busy today. Maybe I will get caught up on things.

It sounds like you're making progress, a little at a time. That's the best way to do it, in my opinion. So you can make sure you do every little part of it right.

4:08 p.m., Wednesday the 20th Yesterday we had some more chicken chili (I think SB threw the rest out), and some tacos (with bowl-shaped tortillas). I thought it was pretty good. I don't know what we're having tonight.

Hello Liam, It kind of sounds like the two of you are thinking about forming a mono/poly relationship, where you are the mono and he is the poly. Many mono/poly relationships have succeeded, but it takes a lot of communication and compromise. I suggest moving ahead in your own situation, but...
