    Is this typical in poly relationships?

    Ugh-- being assertive is not my forte. I'm much more demure. She is definitely the assertive one. I also find it hard to think I'd ever hold a valuable place in his life, because, like I mentioned in the OP, I've been pushed away before. Any problem that arises between them seems to be...

    Is this typical in poly relationships?

    How much of a relationship should there be between two people who just happen to be dating the same person? I feel we do enough. We get along when the three of us hang out. We have a nice time when we occasionally hang out just us girls. When I try to not be shy we are able to communicate pretty...

    Is this typical in poly relationships?

    The thing is, I'm scared to say anything that might sound negative to her, because I'm quite sure she will just decide I'm a bitch, and not allow my bf to see me anymore, which would totally suck and break my heart. So I'm trying to stay quiet and do what she says so I can stick around. I kinda...

    Why the difference?

    Ditto. Also are you letting your potential lovers know your open/poly/married before any relationship is started? I think that's something important to let someone know right when you meet (if there's an interest there), or on the first date (again, if it's something you plan on pursuing). It...

    What words do you use - lover, partner, girlfriend, boyfriend, something else?

    When my bf asked me to be his gf he gave me the sweetest speech ever about how he wanted me to have a title, he didnt want to introduce me as a lover, just a friend or just "Alhena" he wanted to be able to see his friends and say this is my girlfriend. It was really cute so yesterday when we...

    What words do you use - lover, partner, girlfriend, boyfriend, something else?

    How "out" are you?

    One of my sisters, along with 2 cousins and most of my close friends know Im in a poly relationship. My sister, one cousin and few friends that dont really agree are still being supportive and not making it a big deal so its not affecting our relationships at all. My other friends and cousin...

    Is this typical in poly relationships?

    Advice needed, please. I may be overreacting. TIA. So, I’m new to this and I’m not really sure if this is normal or acceptable. My bf and his wife have been poly for a lot longer than I, so I expected them to understand more and be used to the lifestyle. But it seems that things are falling...

    money issues?

    especially for the men in relationships with 2 women, how do you deal with buying things for both? Do you occasionally or never is it everyone for themselves? When you all pitch in who pays for what? how do you make it work? Im having a problem with my bf currently, i still havnt spoken to him...

    Dealing with breakups

    Before my bf and I became an actual couple but had been dating for months we had to stop seeing each other for awhile. He and his wife had some issues which I was told had nothing to do with me but still to make her feel more comfortable about the other situation he volunteered to get rid of me...

    Coming out

    Well, I'm going through this right now, so I'm probably not much help, since I'm just as confused. I have a new bf. I've told my eldest sister and a couple friends that he's married and we're in a poly relationship. Mostly I've gotten curious/good responses from friends, except one, who...

    I have two husbands: A polygamist’s diary

    Pretty large group living together with kids and making it work. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29239960/ I love this article, and I'm even more thrilled to see it on a mainstream site. I'm also kind of surprised (in a good way) how much positive feedback there is in the comments.

    configuration question?

    That is exactly how my current relationship is, we have several sets of couples but there is no triads/quads going on. My bf and I, my bf and his wife, his wife and her gf and her gf with her own husband. Right now we keep it all seperate but I wouldnt mind bringing more together someday.
