Hi Dawn, Sorry we just got your message, because there is so little communication on this site and apparently no notices of messages we don't look in here often! Here's our regular email address, please feel free to write us there: "[email protected]" hope to hear from you soon!

That is a very important point...it really is your responsibility now that you have the knowledge to do what you can to help remove this threat from society. To do less is to enable "Bob" to continue in his "murderous" quest. Would you report what you saw to the authorities if you saw someone...

Thanks Jasmine, your point is well taken. We've been a little too busy to go back more than sporadically too so an appointment would give us something to aim at! John

Thanks so very much for sharing your story with us. You have encouraged us in our foray into the poly world! Pressure from within and without, sadly we would suggest ignoring what those in your surrounding community think but that's impossible with young minds to protect. The issues which seem...

Thanks Jasmine, unfortunately about the only free time we have is on Sundays so it is probably best/most convenient to meet with her on a Sunday. John

We are very sorry for your pain... Sadly my wife and I concur with all the above. After reading this thread we both sense that you are unwilling/unable to clearly see what everyone is pointing out. Your need for acceptance and low self esteem will cause you to hold on to hope when there is...

Hi Jasmine, We attended the Gettysburg UU church Sunday, it wasn't at all as described. Apparently the aforementioned former members had an axe to grind! It was however far too straight laced for us to discuss anything remotely related to poly interests. We spent over an hour after the services...

Thanks Jasmine, Our information came from a couple of people that are by their admission former members of that congregation. We really should have gone directly to the minister and will. We will approach her mentioning your recommendation, thanks! We will come back here and let you/everyone...

WOW! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this thread!!! Hopefully this is posted in the right place! My wife and I are and odd mix of religious beliefs, seems there's nothing strange about that these days! I have Pagan /New age leanings and though I was raised Southern Baptist I never really connected...

A clever but familiar disarming tactic, now you are free to commence with the next defensive statement! As pointed out above and in the same paragraph! It seems most here are more than willing to offer help...much emotional support too but you won't suffer either at the cost of peacefully...

I stand by my earlier simple post...you the OP come in here railing against "poly" as the reason for all your troubles with no discussion of your part in any of it. I'm with nycindie in that there is a definite flavor, feeling, direction people convey no matter the medium of communication. To...

Acknowledgement and acting on the knowledge are two entirely different things. The anger issue needs to be addressed, with or without your continuing the relationship with the other couple... NOW. I have no certifications, but have led several group meetings centering on anger management. His...

To qualify my statements here my wife and I are only beginning to explore the possibilities of a poly relationship. I (John) am the one commenting here but may draw some on our shared experiences, while our experience here is short we have many years of real life experience! I'm now for married...

"But when in Rome..." We tried to impart that we have decided to hang around for a bit, but it appears it will require the acquisition of a thesaurus and at least one term of Composition 101 and Intramural Debating, too! :D

Hi RP, NYCindie, Annabel, We've been doing more reading than posting, as is obvious. I (John) suppose our defensive reaction was probably a little premature, but we also received a message off the boards that was a little more "insistent" in the explanation of the difference between poly and...

Well! There's something we never considered, NYCindie, having two profiles! It not only affords us individuality here, but increases the chances of someone being attracted to one personality or the other. We also recognize the need for time for either of us to pursue and nurture a young...

Hi Redpepper...there is no question in our minds that poly is VASTLY different than any relationship we have previously considered!!! " Was in response to Annabel's post but we suppose it could apply to what you both were saying! This actually was more in response to you...we had an initial...

Thank you Annabel, we did/do indeed fear that loss/separation of or primary relationship, at least a little (okay, maybe a bit more than a little), but we don't fear someone loving us deeply as we do each other. It has occurred to us that love generally takes its own course rather than any...

Thanks, again. We appreciate any advice! We were totally unaware that "lifestyle" would have that connotation! It seems odd though, because to us, and most of the swingers we know, that is a permanent choice-- "Once you're a pickle you can't go back to being a cucumber again!" It must be a sort...

Thanks for your reply, redpepper! Will will look through the "tagged" area and do more reading. We realize that Annabel's link is only one of many sites and views vary from person to person. Unfortunately we're not too up on navigating these sites, hence the direct open question. We don't take...
