Really sucks cause I'm keeping her bed at my house... I hate having anxiety issues. My anger has been at an 11 over the whole thing. Kind of one of those "how are people so shitty?" Moments and I'm trying to trudge my way through the frustration.

A little frustrated and disappointed. Had a "friend" of mine tell me the other day that she "choses men who need to be destroyed and rebuilt" I can't even talk to her right now because I'm so frustrated. I don't think I want her as a friend anymore.

I don't intend on resorting to returning the abuse to them. Not immediately. I do intend on holding them accountable, including pulling them to the side if I have to.

I agree completely. The verbal abuse I experienced was much worse than the physical. And I was even drug around by my hair. When I told them I had this issue, they seemed to agree and said they were working on it. But to me, it doesn't matter. It should have never been in question. That alone...

No, though they have dealt with it before, it's more about the neighbourhood seeing the unusual poly dynamic. I've never actually seen them follow through with physically harming them. They are more prone to ground them than they are to spank them. I just know that their words cut more than...

I'll respond further when I'm not on my phone, but I wanted to clarify the kids issue further. Because I completely understand why anyone would read that and think it's not my business: I've been very hesitant on stating what I think on the way the children are treated, but when certain lines...

This is something that I'm not so sure that they realize they're doing. The night all this happened and they came over to speak with us was the second time this sort of conversation has happened. I know they ask us to tell them if we have issue with them, but I didn't even remotely feel...

Is anyone else here involved with a larger live-in poly household? How does the dynamics of the relationships work around you? Are you close with the other partners? Do you have boundaries on interactions/friendships? Ex: Zed and I live across the street from our cross-couple, who also live...

I know that you said you all came to a compromise, but I feel it worth posting that I agree with fallenangelia. I respect your patience and sensitivity to your wife's needs. This situation is going to need that if she continues here. The age gap may not be very large but as FA pointed out, his...

While I understand the stance against that sort of label, I think the way someone perceives said label will differ. There's major differences in the person saying "I'm bipolar" as an excuse to not resolve your issues and the person saying "okay, so I'm bipolar." In an attempt to understand...

Regardless of the label one way or the other, my goal is NOT to use it as a crutch or something that makes me different. Human beings are incredible creatures with the ability to do far more than we give ourselves credit for. I don't believe this is a "supernatural" thing, nor something really...

That sounds like a good 80% of mine and Zeds arguments.

Empathic abilities weren't really something I took very seriously for a long time. When it was described to me, those struggles sounded normal. After recent struggles, however, I began to understand that not everyone feels this way and not in the degree that it affects their life to the extreme...

It's been a rough few weeks. Dealing with issues in our poly world, learning about ourselves and our needs. It's pushing each of us over the edge in different ways these days and I don't always know how to deal. It seems to be a struggle of primaries and monogamous wiring we're trying to break...

Latest art. Accurate representation for the fire inside me lately. Graphite and soft pastels.

Yes.

I have a really bad habit of doing that if you haven't noticed. :(

I can't even word right now. Dean pried me this evening for what's been bothering me so I somberly explained my feelings and my understanding that I know it's unfair to him but I know he needs to know if I feel I may regress. " (A threesome) wouldn't ever happen unless I knew you were 100% ok...

I wouldn't so much consider it a fear as I would a preference of sexual dynamic. •I greatly value the privacy in my intimate times with my lover. That privacy is how I connect and find my comfort. The one on one connection is my foundation for my lovemaking. •In relation, I respect their...

This is honestly the hardest part of it at this point. The idea of them being able to have that experience and enjoy it, and I can never enjoy it with them. I fear my emotional response if they were to find that opportunity. Just the thought of them informing me they may have that opportunity...
