    To understand why people avoid you

    Felt you were headed that way, hence the book link. But don't overlook @Marcus 's point, if you start seeking attachment you'll miss people.

    Starting the conversation - Differentiating between Adjustment and Coercion?

    Then anticipate it. I wasn't able to move forward for myself until I sat with the idea. <Why can you have sex with someone else and not me?> Ultimately it is about her being free to make her own choices. It hasn't happened but I feel comfortable that if it were to happen I have a...

    Starting the conversation - Differentiating between Adjustment and Coercion?

    This isn't uncommon for ace-spectrum people. Have you come across SPFA? You aren't alone.

    Mono/poly relationship... can it work?

    I would be worried that he considers you primary in a still new relationship. It seems too early for that. He shouldn't be sharing anything you don't consent to. It kind of sounds like his NRE has him in "bad hinge" land. He needs to work on that.

    Please hear me out!

    Couldn't. Not sure if I want to say yes/no just yet to whether I identify as poly so had to stop there.

    Spam getting worse...

    I have too. I wonder if suddenly everyone stopped reporting and then we got a full page of porn ads.

    Advice?

    What homework have the two of you done? Book? Podcasts? You don't specifically mention poly(amory) so I'm wondering if you two might benefit from some research. For example, as @TXretired mentions, "If poly is good for one, it is good for the other" which implies it's important that both...

    Well, I think... ...you do. But you could stick around for more jack-assy wonky if you want.

    Online dating: how to make sure they're okay with poly

    It's a spam post. There have been a bunch of spam posts. One even hooked a couple of long timers the other day. @Evie has been pretty vigilant at reporting these spam posts but they keep coming. (and it seems reporting has little effect)

    Is This the Final Red Flag? Hotwife, Poly, and Possible Rectification

    The term demisexual was coined in 2006 on the forums of The Asexual Visibility & Education Network (AVEN) by user sonofzeal. In the thread, sonofzeal describes his experience of not experiencing sexual attraction without first forming an emotional connection. Sonofzeal felt neither asexual nor...

    A midlife crisis, or...? (HELP)

    Cool, I get that. The reason I picked this out is because I had to confess to an online emotional affair to my wife, that I had slipped into so smoothly that I wasn't really aware that it was happening. This was 18-20 years ago. I had built up a fair defense against face-to-face crushes, and did...

    A midlife crisis, or...? (HELP)

    Do you feel you are representing your idea of ethical here? Due to societal normativity, or actual introspection and choice? When I hear someone tell me that ENM is not ethical/immoral I just assume they haven't really put thought into their answer. I mean, ethical is the first descriptive...

    If in-person is an option I would choose that. You'll get the full benefit of all of the forms of human communication, like body language.

    open relationship jealousy with new alpha

    I'm trying to understand - so correct where needed. You have a rule to tell each other before a date. Your girlfriend was flying home and you asked to see her. Your wife said she was covid uncomfortable with that so you negotiated the weekend with your wife. You had a good time with your wife...
