Part I: Ben Shortly after I started grad school, I met this guy who creeped me out--we'll call him Ben. Ben wore a wedding band, but kept hitting on all the women in the class. He wasn't particularly good-looking, but his girlfriend was amazingly attractive (and, incidentally, was not the...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and point out that physical sexiness (and health) can come in very different sizes for different people. I lost 70+ lbs and have kept it off for five years now. Before I lost the weight, I had no shape--no waist, no butt, and relatively unendowed up top. I...

I've definitely thought about doing that. It would really help clear up who's actually "picking sides" and who's just in social panic mode. I do think I'll wait a few weeks, though--right now, I've got a heightened sense of potential rejection and I don't want that to taint my contact with...

Hi E! I'm new here, too, but thought I'd say hello. You seem totally okay with your partners' family situation--the existence of little kiddos, that is--and I wanted to let you know how awesome that is. Some people can't handle how much time they require, or how their well-being tends to...

Thanks for the replies. :) Hmm. Maybe it's a time thing, then? Perhaps I should attempt to reconnect once things have cooled down? I am trying to meet new people at least, and have started some athletic stuff I had abandoned, but recent social ostracism + new friends = fear of new, exciting...

I agree! My most recent therapist specializes in LGBT work, but seemed to feel that my involvement with another woman indicated that my marriage was falling apart. Um...no. Hardly. You're a rare and valuable asset to society. More open-minded psych folks = win. :D

So, I’m new to polyamory and I think I’m failing at it pretty badly so far. Or maybe associating with the wrong people. Or something. My husband and I have been together for 13 years. We were monogamous until about a year ago, when I started dating “E." Unfortunately, E and I had a somewhat...

I'm newish to polyamory and fresh off a particularly heartbreaking and unhealthy relationship. My husband's been incredibly supportive, but he's definitely doing more than his fair share by carrying me through this emotionally. I'm finding myself increasingly skeptical of the poly lifestyle...
