    Yeah it’s beyond stressful. I agreed to me remaining monogamous but I couldn’t handle the phone calls and all the time devoted to Kyle while I got shafted so did a little trial and error to see if I too could potentially be poly. But, only in the moment did it feel good. Perhaps it’s because I...

    Oh, and Kyle is like 1000 miles away. She threw it all away because somebody in another country made her feel good when things were rough, and because I LIGHTLY FLIRTED with a female friend, opposed to Dream sending full-on nudes and neglecting parental duties to stay up to 4:00 am talking with...

    She demanded no other women, OVP. I kept hinting at the potential of AT LEAST an emotional partner while she’s spending time with her boyfriend, so I could SPEAK to another female. Tulip and I used to make music together (legitimately, not sexually), so I figured having her back as a friend...

    Ok…. 1 Emotionally vacant for a few years because my ex partner was manipulating my first born to hate me, and neglecting her health - lost the court battle and inevitably my daughter 2 Dream had moments she acted like she was cheating: including proclaiming I was the one cheating when I work...

    I’m now single because she shut me out emotionally for over 2 weeks. Couldn’t even get a response to see how the kids while I was at work and I ended up flirting with my female friend because I wanted to feel SOMETHING other than alone and neglected. 🫡

    Too good to be true. She started prioritizing Kyle, then even I spoke up about being neglected I got shit on left and right. I have no idea what to do because if we get divorced the oldest child might attempt suicide….

    Dang, this was a good one to read. I appreciate the trigger warning. I didn’t think that deeply into the potential. I made this choice after much, much deliberation, research and communication with my wife. At first she swore up and down it wasn’t continuing, but I learned behavioural science...

    What Would You Do? Long Distance Relationship

    Greetings, My wife started an LDR, and we’ve decided to open things up and kinda just go day by day. There has been talk about her infatuated friend moving to a closer state, or nearby so they can see each other. I have decided to play it by ear, and whatever happens will be. Personally, I...

    The choice for me to remain non-poly is my own. I am obscenely selective in regard to romantic partners. I don’t ever do short-term flings; I prefer long-lasting relationships. There is a girl that I met in the hospital that reminded me of my wife, and it was almost too easy to consider allowing...

    Thank you for the more direct answer. Honestly, I’m a simple person and have my needs satisfied with just my wife. The one thing I did do was reopen communication with an old female friend that has loved and supported me platonically. We spoke deeply about what’s going on, and she also...

    Ah, I guess I should have included that. Yes indeed, I have been attending therapy to progress myself. It has reignited passion and reconnected us in a way I didn’t think would have been possible. As now that I am on the proper medication for ADHD and depression, I can navigate with a clear head...

    Hello, I’m new to this journey with my wife. I’ll explain a bit of my situation. I went through a traumatic experience and wasn’t ready to begin a relationship, but instantly fell in love with this woman. Literally, no bullshit, no cute storytelling: my friend asked me what my dream girl would...
