    In need of a sounding board

    I think that A2Poly gave you some great advise on the topic of safe sex practices. I think that it's perfectly reasonable to be expected to have been told that she was having unprotected sex with her partner. It's just respectful of someone else's right to play in a safe way, in my opinion...

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    Such a kind Lady Lady emailed me yesterday. She'd been lying low and trying to avoid all of the shit that the Man and I were throwing at each other, but apparently feels the need to try to mediate. Too late, but I can appreciate the gesture. She has always offered to be an outlet for me. She...

    And I'm getting rid of that stupid (and incorrect) signature, too! Ah. Now, that feels and looks better, doesn't it?

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    This week, these past seven days, have been hell. The Man and I are no longer together. Contract terminated. Submission withdrawn. We got into a verbal disagreement that got way out of hand. I'll admit that I was rude and petty, and I'll even shoulder some of the blame--I had no clue why he...

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    That's my story and I fucking sticking to it. He can go fuck himself. This is pure, unbridled anger. An emotion that I really hadn't attached to him until now. It feels good. Anger feels manageable, and controllable. Nevermind the fact that it may not actually be--please keep your logic to...

    Because I think it needs to be said The Man can go fuck himself.

    Too new to this..

    Hi there, Honeybits! You and I seem to be in somewhat similar situations; I am also a mono with a (much) more experienced partner...except he is married. He introduced me to poly, and it's been a pretty steep curve. The first time that I felt jealousy for his other partner was not a good...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    I'm having a skype date with Lady tonight to talk through/decompress our thoughts on the changes to our relationship, and to discuss what our relationship looks like moving forward--we're exploring the possibility of opening up a power play dynamic. I'm starting to get nervous!

    What Do You Make of Jesus?

    Magdlyn already explained this, but Jesus is only recognized as a metaphysical being by the Christian faith. Which is so interesting. As people that have grown up in a culture where Jesus is almost synonymous with the dominant religion, its been my experience that many people forget that one of...

    Why do you use the online name that you use?

    It was suggested by a friend of mine when I was trying to think of screen names for another poly site lol. It's a mix of the name that I go by and Kanye. That's a good thing for us--we were both very into rap music in school, initially for cultural reasons, but she ended up doing a lot of work...

    Longevity of relationships

    Such an interesting question, as it implies that longevity, or the lack of it, can be measured by some barometer that might be different from a more conventional arrangement. I don't think that that's necessarily true, as a lot of folks have already said. I think that if there was a real...

    Social Media Issues- am I seeing this right?

    If it's Facebook that you're referring to, just have him tell her to block you from her TL. If it's twitter, tell her to unfollow. Social media is ah-mazing, in that it let's up customize our feeds. There's no way in hell, that I'd agree to that (not sorry bout it). On a healthier note: It may...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    Hello there! I just wanted to chime in because I remember those feelings, oh so well, and I feel your pain girl. Really, I do. I think that people have given you awesome advise on how to deal with the awkward situation of meeting his gf, if you truly don't want to. Keep it short and sweet, be...

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    It's September, Friends. *Cue Dramatic Music* That means that there are officially 25 more days until the LSAT. Which means that I woke up at 6:30am this morning to take a full practice test before I went into work. This will be my day to day reality for the next 25 days. Crazy? Possibly. But...

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    Wow. It's been exactly one week since that last post. So full of angst, that post. I've been trying (really, I have) to get back on here to update this--to really sit down and spend some time with the events of the past week, because a lot has happened. A whole lot. And I kind feel like I'm...

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    How quickly things change I've been in something a funk for the last day or so. Lady is acting strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it. She's decidedly less welcoming and subtlety more passive aggressive and moody. In her defense, she's been PMSing pretty bad since about 4 days before I...

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    I'm on my way to spend a week with The Man and Lady :). I have no clue what I was thinking when I booked my original flight. It didn't get me to Seattle until 9:30 pm Pacific time, which is absolutely laughable. No way I'm spending an entire day in an airport when I could be back in his arms...

    Professional Black Male finally discovered what I want in a marriage

    Hello there! I also think that it's worth noting that your furture partner doesn't *have* to fulfill all of these needs for you. By that I simply mean that if you find a lady friend that you really like and enjoy, who is also open to a polyamorous arrangement, then you still have the option to...

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    Last night I called The Man, in a semi-serious state of distress. You see, lately, I've been feeling a bit disconnected from The Man. I don't really know why, I just miss a lot and at times I struggle with the thought that I'm alone while he gets to seek comfort from Lady. It's never a happy...

    A Tiny Riot's Musings

    The Man and I planned out what we're going to do when I visit in few weeks last night. We had all of these lofty plans to go see All of The Things--and then he mentioned that there's an aquarium (I'm such a sucker for aquariums lol I love theeeem!)....so now we're doing that. It'll be amongst...
