I do not have a vagina, but I do have a partner who is very tight, so much so that I have to think all the way back to my sexual partners as a teenager to recollect anyone as tight as her. Over time, I have been a bit surprised how much I appreciate that about her, because I would not have said...

Opinions from online strangers, based on just a few paragraphs of a one-sided story, are likely to be speculative. Would you clarify what you're hoping to gain by posting here? Are you just looking to vent to people who understand? Are you struggling to get over your ex and blaming yourself...

Na, you’re good. Just try to leave it in the past.

I’m in an FMF V, and I’m the hinge. I think a turning point in our dynamic occurred when my partners began communicating directly with each other, instead of through me. They also made commitments to each other about caring for one another and looking out for each other's feelings, etc. When we...

I would challenge this statement by asking you if the ideal partner you always envisioned split their time with you and other people, and had sex with other people? If not, maybe there’s some boxes you forgot to consider. There is no universal “normal”. If you question her sincerity. That’s...

If you have an unwilling spouse, I think it eventually comes down to a leap of faith. I’m not placing any blame on the husband; in fact, I applaud him for having a backbone about this. We see so many people swallow this burden in an attempt to save the marriage, and it can be quite painful...

I think you should run away from this thing. Look for someone who does check all your boxes. Someone who shares your long-term vision of an ideal relationship. Maybe the ideal never quite turns out the way you expect, but I think that’s a better approach than forcing a relationship where the...

Opening a monogamous marriage can fail in fairly hurtful and/or disastrous ways. I would recommend seeking out some of those stories on the internet to balance out the idealistic stuff you might be reading about polyamory. The most ideal way to explore polyamory is when everyone involved has a...

I am surprised about how many people posted before the question arose - how is another person’s soon to be aborted pregnancy any of your business? It isn’t…

The Republican Party survives only because those who actually believed in its values have quietly exited, leaving behind those willing to compromise their morals for a leader who doesn’t reflect their beliefs at all. The Democratic Party has its flaws, but it still remembers its core...

I’m not in that demographic myself, but I think many are frustrated with the status quo and are concerned about affording the quality of life they were raised to expect. I’m sure Trump supporters are celebrating like never before. I mean, they got Trump re-elected - holy shit! Let that sink in...

They are leaving the party in droves... Maybe we need to start listening to their struggles and needs.

Why would we ever assume that "lifestyle" strips someone of their humanity? I can’t think of a single context in which the word is commonly used that suggests people don’t want "love, stability, good communication, respect from the general community, safety for their children, equality in all...

I'm not sure what I think about whether it is helpful, but I would caution against over-normalizing polyamory as if it's just a small, inconsequential thing you're doing differently in your life. A typical newbie walking into polyamory might find that their life begins to look very different...

I think the distinction between polyamory and monogamy in terms of the term "lifestyle" is that monogamy is essentially universal. This makes those who practice it largely unencumbered by their choice, as it is very much the default option. Polyamory, on the other hand, is distinct from the...

Can he maintain an agreement with you while simultaneously not honoring the same agreement with your meta? Or does failing to uphold it with the meta automatically invalidate the agreement with you? If adherence to the agreement with you necessitates the meta's consent, this could be more...

The message stated that OP and daughter will “always” be welcome in his home. Hinting at an unconditional love/acceptance for son and grandchild.

Sometimes a post on these forums really grabs my attention, and this is one of those times. As I was reflecting on this situation last night, it occurred to me that one of my partners, Daisy, would likely have a different perspective from my own. So, I asked her to read this thread and share her...

No offense intended but she is going to suffer when she finds out that she had to go see grandpa without mommy all those years because grandpa thinks mommy is a whore. I’m glad you’re feeling at ease now. I can relate to the strangeness of that feeling. For me, what stands out the most in my...

That’s a bummer. As someone who is also close to my father and as a father myself to a daughter, I keep imagining how I would approach this situation. Here’s my take: He’s trying to exert control over your life with the only leverage he has, which is his own home. One might say he’s grasping...
