    Polyamory & Marriage - Need Advice

    Insurance while in school? Sure, phrased like that. The question is how Pink fits into this, since that description didn't mention _another_ partner at all. I'll play devil's advocate and ask - if you were already married to Pink, and this opportunity to help Blue with insurance came up...

    A Plea for Nicknames

    Hi Opal, So it took me a couple of days, but I've come up with some. The connection for each nickname is pretty obscure, but Clyde likes his. He was mulling over the idea of getting a button that says "Clyde" to wear to a polyboston gathering. Thanks for pointing out the usefulness! I would...

    Do you fight?

    So does the great communication of a good poly (or mono, for that matter) relationship mean you don't have fights? B and I had a knock down, drag out fight yesterday that made me think about all the comments I've read about how a relationship should be solid before you open it up. Of course...

    First Time Poly Spectacular Fail...

    Actually, snowmelt was saying that OP and the _other_ man were codependent, not OP and her husband. (I don't know enough about codependency to make a judgment.) This reminds me a bit of my situation, getting involved with an old flame and having his wife freak out. This forum has taught me a...

    Problem with partners first relationship

    Even if you wanted to avoid pronouns, it would be enormously helpful if you used something unique, like initials, or DH, or whatever, to refer to each person. And then explain how the relationship fits together. Is the "they" your husband plus someone that he cheated on you with? Does not...

    Missing: Warm Fuzzies. Reward if Found.

    Great news! So glad to hear this worked out! I was wondering, what happened to the post that CD mentioned in her intro? That intro is how I found this thread in the first place. http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68424 FAL -------------------------------- M - Me female, 59 -...

    Wasn't looking for poly; LD BF's wife is pissed

    Hi GalaGirl, Thanks for the comments. You always have sensible thoughts on these issues. There's a lot to process there for me. One thing - OK. I can see that. This last time, I didn't know that they still had an agreement to that effect. In particular, since he was cc'ing her e-mail...

    Wasn't looking for poly; LD BF's wife is pissed

    JP's gone JP's gone. That's how I put it to B, anyway. After Monday's message and response (both cc'd to A), I got an e-mail yesterday (Tuesday) saying that all communication needed to stop again. That A was furious that he had broken their agreement to not be in contact with me. He felt...

    Glossary and Definitions

    Thanks! It was probably edit(ed) to add. I think it was typically near the bottom of a post. I couldn't make any sense out of the context. I'll have to keep an eye out for when I see it again. The NSA makes sense. FAL -------------------------------- M - Me female, 59 - _trying_ to...

    Not sure what this means Got another e-mail today form JP. Sent from work (the only account he has, as I explained in the previous post), but cc'ing A's account. Said they were almost through with counseling, whatever that means - something like one more session. And then he thanked me for...

    JP using work e-mail and "secrecy" Hi! I'm going to respond to some comments that have been made earlier. From 12/6, from Galagirl JP has what both B and I think is a screwy way of handling e-mail. He only has the one account - his account at work. No personal account of his own. I...

    Happy Holidays!

    I had originally buried this in my Introduction thread. Merry Christmas, everyone! Have a great day, whether you celebrate the particular holiday or you're just enjoying the time off and, hopefully, time with loved ones! Or, as a friend of mine says, "Happy Circum-Solstice Holiday of Your...
