    It's been a Closet for me all my life.

    Some conversations don’t progress as well as others, but sure, of course. What I meant was that if a person can articulate internal conflict, that’s progress all by itself, and I'm always flattered to imagine I had something to do with it. I don’t always recognize it when I see it, but when I...

    It's been a Closet for me all my life.

    Interestingly enough, I've always thought I'd be a family man myself, ever since I was a teenager. I'd be willing to sacrifice quite a bit for the right partner, because I believe that parenthood requires a commitment that goes well beyond romance. It seems likely that my polyamorous nature...

    It's been a Closet for me all my life.

    Woah.. I would imagine the pinnacle of polyamory involves sophisticated communication, diplomacy, and conflict resolution. In reaction to Bluebird's comments, I already suggested above that analytically defining relationships is a worthwhile effort, a responsibility that we shouldn't put off...

    It's been a Closet for me all my life.

    Thank you all! That's what drives me nuts. I put up with it from married parents when I was a young bachelor, because of course they all feel like they've had a crash course and are now certified experts on relationships; I didn't argue because I have been alone as often as I've been together...

    It's been a Closet for me all my life.

    thank you By lovers, you mean. Yes, a poly woman has options. When it comes to the judgment of society, though, I wouldn't trade places with you. Possessiveness can be found in both genders. It cannot be reasoned with. I should have come here long ago. I'm seeing content in these forums that I...

    It's been a Closet for me all my life.

    Maybe I shouldn't use the term Closet. The LGBTs use it, and for good reason. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent trying to change natural LGBT predisposition, to "fix" them, to suppress them, to keep them out of view. Polyamory hasn't been the target of grassroots political movements, or...
