I think this discussion may have gone a little off topic. Nycindie: I think that apophis probably did misinterpret exactly what you mean when asking your questions but I can see why he did. I have been reading posts on here most nights for a couple months and have found that initially a lot of...

I've come across 'FWB' so many times since I've been on here and only just realised that it probably means 'friends with benefits.' I am SO bad with acronyms and am therefore very grateful for this thread. It's really cleared some things up. :)

I very much agree with everyone else has posted here. It seems like you're wholly concerned about what YOU want and not about what they want and what would be most beneficial. Sometimes moving on is the best thing you can do for a person, especially if you love them and continuing to seek them...

I very much agree with laughing owl. Just over a year ago I was in a similar situation to your girlfriend, I wasn't sure about having a poly relationship at all - in fact it really scared me - and sometimes I'd get lots of irrational or resentfult thoughts like 'I'm putting in this effort and...

I'm not sure if this will help but it's what I did when first starting: I had only ever been in monogamous relationships before but I agreed to enter into an open relationship - that later expanded to a polyamorous relationship - with my current partner. Because I was so new to it I had a...

I feel that perhaps I should clarify abit. When he made suggestions about changes in myself, I don't think they were that serious and logically, I know that he wasn't thinking of her when he said them. It's just that they were all very similar to her and because of my existing insecurities I...

Yeah, it does. Thanks very much for your help :)

Thanks for your reply. I know I can't really ask him not to. I had always known he had strong feelings for her and when he had seen her in the past I dealt with it really well. For some reason knowing that she loves him too has stirred up all sorts of emotions and I'm entirely sure why. It's...

Hi I'm Josie, I'm 19 and I've been in an open relationship for over a year now. I would not describe my self as polyamorous but more as 'currently not monogamous'. Before my current partner I had only ever been in monogamous relationships, however, he is polyamorous and so we agreed to enter...
