    partners marriage trouble

    Wow, a few times a week? That's pretty phenomenal. I've heard twice a week is average for a good marriage.

    Newspaper coins word: Bopo, the "bourgeous polyamorous"

    The family was specifically polygynous more than polyamorous. Also, living on a 30 acre farm doesn't make them bourgeoisie, just a little bit wealthier than the norm. We already know that having money makes it easy to keep multiple lovers :) I've wondered about having a second wife just so we...

    partners marriage trouble

    My parents were like that, too. They loved each other without being in love with each other. I'm not certain that is a good reason to shy away from marriage, though. You marry someone you want to commit to because that's one way to show commitment. If you want to show it another way, and the...

    How to make my boyfriend feel more valued?

    It's mostly his job to feel valued. It's your job to actually be involved in a healthy and positive relationship. The hard part of any relationship is figuring out your needs. Does he need conversation? Physical affection? Activities (like dates?) or maybe life events (like meeting and greeting...

    Poly: Choice or Predisposition?

    Yes, I am adding reality. People are covetous, needy, greedy, and jealous. Some people are even unreasonable. Exactly! So you admit there are people like that, but you choose not to be friends with them. Well, lucky you. Someone got tricked into being their friend, and then what? Drop them...

    Poly: Choice or Predisposition?

    Of course, I was just pointing out that Tiberius had been meeting needs and then choosing not to. Of course there is no obligation to meet the needs of people you love. But at the same time, you should be taking their needs into consideration because you love them. Yes, but the question was...

    Poly: Choice or Predisposition?

    Of course it can. I have friends who feel jealous when they aren't invited to specific events. No one is saying it is wrong, are they? It may not be fair, or reasonable, or responsible, but I don't think anyone says it is wrong. Right, but that means love itself isn't the problem, regardless...

    Anti-Poly Counselor

    This reminds me of critics who claim they can't believe in evolution because they can't see it happening. To be fair, too, you can probably also claim, in her line of work, that monogamy doesn't work either. What are the odds she has seen or know of a lifelong marriage...

    The Onion

    I feel that this link is worth posting, despite being satire, to some of the poly threads where a person thinks that opening their troubled marriage will help...

    My mistake, thanks.

    The Lego Movie was awesome

    She could have, sure, Batman is rich enough to have multiple women in his life. His actions also clearly indicate he really isn't attached to her either, willing to leave during adversity or when something cool comes along. The fact that she was upset at him for being so cavalier suggests she...

    The Lego Movie was awesome

    Anyone else see it? Spoilers below. My wife complained, however, about how the leading woman left Batman (he even says, "He's the hero you deserve.") for the main character. She thinks she would have kept both. I think Batman was clearly portrayed as kind of a jerk though...

    The Movie Her

    It seems possible that she may not have been able to explain it at all. I mean, it's like trying to explain reasoning to a dog; a smart dog can, in fact, understand quite a bit of language and perform an astounding amount of deductive and inductive reasoning, but there are some hard limits to...

    It doesn't feel like a compliment

    I understand what you are saying, I'm only trying to give you what the opposite view might be. It takes a little warm up for me to 'want' my wife, (not a lot of warm up, just a few kisses and such), but if not for the kissing and such you would think me totally asexual. However, my point is...

    It doesn't feel like a compliment

    I'm not suggesting otherwise. I'm not like that either, I've never met anyone I would instantly drop my pants for. Well, not yet, I guess. I was just explaining how it might seem to him/other if you are in fact that hot.

    Advice for dating people with ADHD and/or Autism

    Here's another dog training lesson we experience. Submissive dog's pee when they greet each other in order to broadcast their social status. So here's how not to react: Yelling, anger, disappointment. Your dog will pick up on those cues and think, "Oh, I have made my master unhappy. Next time...

    It doesn't feel like a compliment

    It doesn't. That's the idiomatic expression of "I would change my orientation just so I could be with that person regardless of either of our respective orientations."

    It doesn't feel like a compliment

    Maybe you are that hot. Do you have no 'I would be gay for X' actors or actresses? I mean, I don't have a "I would be gay for X", so I can understand what you're saying, but most people do. My wife is hot for Zachary Quinto, for example.

    Also, to enrage the neurotypicals, yes, people are animals and can be trained, have pavlovian responses, etc.

    Advice for dating people with ADHD and/or Autism

    Oh man. I mean, that's nothing to do with 'autism' proper, and just how people are different at interpreting the same scenario. My wife explicitly tells me to grab water and Tylenol... because I would just swallow the Tylenol dry. She also tells me a full glass because if I had a big pill to...
