Impossible. My conclusions cannot be incorrect. If the word 'Family Values' can have as many meanings as the word 'polyamory', then my conclusions are mine. Your conclusion is incorrect; the correct conclusion would be, 'Your conclusion differs' Let me revisit the post since you affirm that I...

I have a related question: How much time did you need to establish your relationships?

Is that question relevant to the thread?

Race as a label or a color is an entirely too broad a brush when you're talking about individuals; it's akin to saying "Men are jerks". Well, so are women. And kids. And polyamorists. And monogamists. However, race isn't useless either. There are broad demographics that are important to know...

The one posted by Dana. Let me recopy-paste my point: And the abstract: It seems clear enough to me. 1) Scientists suspect OXT enhances pair bonding; note the pair isn't to exclude polyamory, but because monogamous pairs are the norm. Nothing examined excludes multiple pairs 2) Intranasal...

Please don't just withdraw the money into cash. Move it into another account, or even write checks to your most commonly used credit cards so that you have a surplus balance to get automatically deducted as you spend them. Ideally you would write a check and have it deposited into a private...

So you agree that my changes show the study is still relevant? Replace the word monogamy with fidelity and you find the study isn't really about pushing monogamy, per se, so much as that the researcher writing the paper might not have the context to use any other framework. It's like me...

Yes, please, do listen to Schrodinger.

You have too many negatives. What are you talking about? Canceling negatives out gives us: I wonder how many people who actually reject this: If they were afraid to declare that they are going to live a certain way just because it is acceptable to many other people That's more or less basic...

I wanted to throw in my perspective. I feel like I'm cheating people by spreading myself too thin if I tried to go for 'unlimited' love, because time and space aren't limited. I only have two or three hours a night to share. Seven lovers in a week would mean, at best, two hours each (assuming...

I'm glad they started this thread. It's a welcome introduction into the spectrum and large gray area of poly. I wish them the best.

You have my sympathy.

I disagree. It sounds like he is being manipulative.

There is the possibility that her husband knew there was something screwy going on and she ignored him, too. She never elaborated:

Yes, because it means he will likely take you to court to assert paternity if he is already seen to be willing to do so in another situation.

Then why did you say you didn't know who the father was? You're not helping the situation at all unless you can firmly assert that your husband is the father. You have a legal obligation to him if he is the father, but no other obligation. Feel free to break up with him but don't expect any...

You have a serious problem then because he can assert paternity, and if he is the father he can also legally force either visitation or outright custody.

Sounds like you didn't really resolve your issue with J if this 'two month' old BF is trying to assert paternity.

Wait, are you sure this is really your husband's child? Even if you do break up with him he can still try to assert paternity, so be prepared to deal with that. It sounds like even if you don't break up with him he will still assert paternity! My concern isn't with who loves who, you are grown...

Wow, GalaGirl, you really make my posts look lame and inadequate. I agree with GalaGirl and wish there was a way to promote it. ++!
