    How "out" are you?

    I'm completely shameless. If you hang around me, you'll see what I'm doing; if you ask about it, I'll tell you. Most people don't ask. Most ignorance is willful.

    How can I make this better?

    Then it's too late to open this subject. Polyamory is like a business network. Your business network can help you get a job. It is better than anything else at getting you a job. And you have to build it... before you need a job, when you don't need one, and have no real expectation of needing...

    Fears of loss in a mono/poly relationship

    Primarily, I worry that people don't say what they mean, don't know what they want, and claim not to mind, when they really mind a whole lot. I don't have any experience with this, and I have to rely on what people communicate. But my wife is just about the shittiest communicator on the planet...

    Fears of loss in a mono/poly relationship

    That's not even remotely the issue. If you live with two partners, you will inevitably end up all being in the same room, just in the course of your natural lives. When this happens, there's a problem with undirected affectionate feelings. If I have a romantic impulse, and it's not specific to...

    Fears of loss in a mono/poly relationship

    Let me pass along a little trial I'm facing right now, which is pretty closely related. I have never had to sit in the same room with more than one woman I loved with all my heart. Over the past two weeks, I've done that several times, and I don't know what the hell to do. I can only kiss one...

    not poly yet,apparently. maybe next month.

    I think there's a three-step process in this. First of all, table the new partner you're considering. Walk away from that. It's like the sword of Damocles hanging over your relationship. Your current partner can't be expected to have a reasonable discussion about anything under those...

    Hi there... big question!!

    I do the same thing - it's about NRE. I am completely and utterly insane when under the influence of NRE. I say and do really stupid things. So when the NRE is flowing, I have to put on the brakes really severely until it passes, and once it does... I take the brakes off altogether. I've...

    Fears of loss in a mono/poly relationship

    Yes, I do. I just don't understand why this is what goes through your mind and heart. Could you explain more? After all, I also respect your view. :)

    Fears of loss in a mono/poly relationship

    I find this a tremendous fallacy. If you have children with a woman, do you love the woman less for loving the child? I don't think so. Been there, done that, I love her the more for it and I love the child with all my heart. If you have another child, do you love your first child less for...

    Am I wrong on this issue?

    I apologise if this seems insensitive, but think about this from her perspective. You gave her a place to live and a companion that didn't expect sex. That's great, for her. What is it for you? What kind of man does this? If it were me, I'd think it was a weak-willed and desperate man that...

    Hi there... big question!!

    You need to have the confidence from within. I think your heart is in the right place. I think your intentions are good. We all know what's paved with those. You clearly have doubts. We're not the best people to dispel them. We don't know your partner. We don't know who she is or what she's...
