    A Question for the Guys

    I'm more into legs - longer the better. The first time I saw Cookie she was wearing a dress that went to the floor, but had a slit up one side that showed a flash of leg with every step. It made me overcome any shyness or fear of rejection - I simply had to go over and talk to her.

    Lonely Holidays, poly style

    I use to run myself ragged trying to please everyone by dragging my family to multiple Christmas gatherings. No matter how hard I tried, someone was always upset. "Oh, your only here for the morning? You are having dinner with Cookie's family instead of us? Rude." "Oh, you're opening...

    Heterosexual woman, mostly in a long-term triad, but now finding my wings

    I'm interested in hearing more of your story. I am in a triad with my wife and girlfriend. Coincidentally, our girlfriend is 18 years younger than me. I think if something happened to me, they (wife and girlfriend) would stay together, but if something happened to my wife, I'm not sure the...

    Trying out a triad

    I was laid off on Thursday, but by Friday I had a new job because one of the clients that I was working with immediately reached out to hire me as a consultant - so I will be doing the same job, only for a single client instead of several - and still meet with my former coworkers except from the...

    Trying out a triad

    It's been a while since my last update - somewhat because work has been grueling, but also because not a whole lot has been going on besides usual day-to-day family life stuff. Cookie and I went away to a little rental cottage for the weekend. Went to some breweries for tastings and went for a...

    New to Polyamory, confusion regarding faithfulness/cheating

    Leaving aside any cheating/breaking of agreements - I dated an alcoholic once and I eventually realized that no matter how wonderful she was, it wasn't worth all of the nights holding her hair while she puked, cleaning her up after, and staying up all night making sure she was only sleeping and...

    Coming out to parents

    Don't be surprised if their initial reaction is negative, it takes some time to process. Have faith they'll accept it given time. Make sure to emphasize that it is about love. If it helps to hear how it went for me: we've never come out, but we don't hide anything either. My mom thinks it's...

    Dad has essentially disowned my family

    Speaking for myself, my initial reaction was very negative. It was very for me difficult to break away from the concept of a traditional, monogamous relationships. It was all I had ever known. It took me weeks to come around to a new way of thinking about relationships. It still felt like...

    Are Conservative Values Fundamentally Incompatible with Polyamory?

    The problem is where people draw the line of "what affects me." One person might say, "If other people want to have unprotected sex with several people to whom they are not married, that's their business", while another might say, "Unprotected sex with several people outside of marriage...

    Trying out a triad

    Pumpkin's mom continues to refuse to acknowledge the status of our relationship, yet by all appearances is treating my kid like a granddaughter. It is making Pumpkin crazy.

    Are Conservative Values Fundamentally Incompatible with Polyamory?

    I also struggle with my traditional, conservative, Christian values in light of the MFF relationship that has developed. I don't have the answers, but we all go to church together as a family, and no one has burst into flames. We are a traditional family in most ways - with the huge exception...

    Trying out a triad

    Cookie, Pumpkin, and I were looking at mattresses. It was amusing to see the saleswoman realize we were talking about a mattress for three people. My favorite moment was when she just swung her finger around in a circle indicating all of us.

    Am I Wrong?

    Am I reading this right? She has had five or six dates with a guy that thought the whole time she was cheating on her husband? Sounds like a red flag to me.

    Marriage and polyamory?

    The courtrooms are still full of old judges with old ideas. Some of those old ideas are that the man should always pay and that children belong with their mother - pesky facts like who earns more or who is a more suitable parent don't matter to them.

    Marriage and polyamory?

    Pumpkin often takes the kid to medical appointments and it is always a pain to have to submit a bunch of paperwork to allow the medical office to talk to Pumpkin. If Pumpkin was a legally recognized 'parent', it would makes things easier. Getting married was very important to Cookie. I think...

    Trying out a triad

    Cookie got up early this morning, so I had a chance to roll over snuggle with Pumpkin. It felt good. It is rare that we get to snuggle as a pair. She seems to enjoy snuggling with me, but she never initiates any more. She was always so much more flirty and forward when we started - back when...

    Trying out a triad

    The quick summary is that I am doing my best to focus on how much better day-to-day life is with another "wife & mom" helping. I still feel sad that the "wives" enjoy a closeness that leaves me feeling like a third wheel.

    Sorry if this isn’t the right section but I have a question

    I think that Danielle was just congradulating her friend on finding a cute boy. It doesn't indicate any interest on Danielle's part.

    Therapy - Strength vs weakness

    I stayed in touch with my inner child. I still enjoy playing with Lego blocks, video games, building sandcastles at the beach, stuff like that.

    Therapy - Strength vs weakness

    I started seeing a female therapist at first, but I soon realized she was spending the time asking about how the sex worked like I was just an erotic podcast for her, so I moved to a male therapist and it's a better fit for me.
