    Compartmentalizing vs lying

    My boyfriend and I are in our 30's and have been together for a year, living together for 9 months. He is an extremely private person who tends to compartmentalize his relationships, whether romantic or platonic. I have a very open, honest communication and relationship style, and have...

    In British Columbia, Canada, as of this year, you can now have up to 4 people listed on the birth certificate as legal parents/guardians. One reason to move to the freezing north :)

    Platonic friends (but I want more)

    I made a new friend. We really connect on a lot of levels, there is attraction. He states he wants us to remain platonic. I think it's because he's afraid of my being poly. He's met my boyfriend on several occasions, and knows that we are committed, but open. I get the sense that my friend feels...

He does not get out often. He keeps inviting one of his crushes to meet up for drinks or hiking. She...

    Fair question. Some more background: he has always stated that he would only feel comfortable having sex with someone he cares about. He craves relationships, and is not interested in casual sex. If that were to change, I would be supportive. My only caveats are open, honest communication, and...

    Unrequited love convenience

    I am a pansexual woman in a loving, committed, poly relationship with my hetero male partner of a year. Neither of us are currently dating anyone else, but he has a couple long term crushes that he dotes on via twitter, instagram, and texting. They just see him as a flirty friend. It used to...

    Testing the waters

    Welcome :) Hello Glitter! I"m new as well, but can relate to the process you are in. I'm enjoying the freedom of allowing that spark and connection to form between me and someone other than my partner. I have a new friend I"m very interested in, but am taking it slow, just enjoying getting to...

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    It was! It was the mormon church! Born and bred, broke free in 2012. Crazy, right?

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    logic and reasoning My first run in with the term polyamory was a documentary I saw, about 5 years ago, on Jaiya Ma. I was amazed that she was so comfortable and open about being in a loving relationship with two men. I was raised in a strict conservative christian religion, and knew from...
