There are a couple of things I haven't seen anyone mention here yet: You say you were at a party when this happened. Is it possible that - This girl might have been drunk or under the influence of some substance when the making out occurred? Then later when she sobered up, regretted her...

This is why I don't date. :D I tend to overthink every situation, so the dating game isn't a good fit for me. Maybe you're the same way, MsEmotional... idk... but if you're going to go there, just try to have fun with it I guess. <3

Exactly me, as well. And this was, and still sometimes is, my problem with Jester's lackadaisical communication style. To him, it's no big deal if we go a couple of days without messaging (even though it WAS in our early days, when the shoe was on the other foot!) - and although he keeps...

I can only speak to my own experience, which is similar to what GalaGirl said. Both of my partners are monogamish/monogamous with me; the hinge in our closed V. It was rough at first, admittedly, but once we each expressed our individual needs and boundaries and fined-tuned our expectations...

I'm afraid I'm not going to be very helpful here, as I've never used a dating site/app. In fact, even in my younger days before all this technology, I'd never so much as gone on a blind date or had a one night stand. It was only relatively recently that I heard the terms, but I now realise I'm...

^ You expressed the trajectory SO perfectly, Evie. This is pretty much exactly how both of my current relationships developed. Except I met them on a social media site as friends only, with no intention of becoming romantic. And we use Messenger, not WhatsApp to chat. Although I've never...

Hi. There's a few things I have to say/ask about this situation: 1.) You can support a co-worker/friend with work-related problems without the relationship turning sexual. Those dynamics are completely separate issues. 2.) What sort of sexual hang-ups negatively affect your wife in general...

Hi, calvcall. Can you clarify exactly how it came about that there was such a gigantic "misunderstanding"? (I'm assuming at some point your wife discussed the possibility of polyamory/non-monogamy and her wish to see other people.) So, in your recollection, what was SAID during that...

I am the same way. I'm a very "visual" person and words of affirmation are my love language. So in general, I prefer texting/messaging/email rather than talking on the phone a lot. Right at the beginning of a new or budding relationship, I've been known to text partners throughout the day...

hjeckyl, I really feel for you. Break-ups are never easy, especially when a relationship has been intense and you're not ready for it to end. I agree with Dagferi here. Better this way ^ than having the relationship devolve slowly and messily over many weeks or months, interspersed with...

Hi Cortana, and welcome to the forum. It sounds like polyamory is something your husband might be able to get his head around and come to accept and appreciate, in time, although there are no guarantees. He will have to do some work on deconstructing the ideas about monogamy that are so...

Arius, while it's true that exercise, improving one's diet and so on can help alleviate the symptoms of low mood and depression, and provide a "boost" of energy, I believe your statement that it can "cure" ALL depression to be a gross over-generalisation and even dangerous for some people who...

You're welcome, Ardeen. I must stress: I do not think it's a good idea for your wife to be going ahead with meeting this other guy (for sex or anything else) right now... not until you've developed more security and trust in yourself AND in your relationship with her, perhaps with the help of...

I've never heard the term "nester" used in this context before either. It sounds to me that what you're really after is a primary/secondary arrangement, with your primary also being your "nesting partner" or NP, and another person or people outside the home, with whom you also have...

So Lo has been seeing lover girl for 5 years, but as soon as you two rekindled your relationship he "offered" to break up with her for you? Did he give her any kind of heads up that he intended to start seeing someone else before you two got all hot and heavy? Does she know he was willing to...

I second everything the others said, above. But I just want to add a couple more thoughts I had on this subject: If you don't know what this fetish/kink is called, then google Hot Wifing/Cuckold fantasy, as Marcus advised you. It's actually fairly common, but is NOT polyamory. If you...

Turns out a couple of Boho's lymph nodes were minorly affected. She is now waiting for the numbers which will determine whether or not she'll have to undergo intravenous chemotherapy. :( Oncologist appointment next Friday...

My partner Jester has Hepatitis C. Close family members of his have HIV and AIDS. It's not an easy thing to hear. Education, appropriate medication and understanding go a long way to dealing with the reality of these conditions. I commend you for being so non-judgemental, Vince.

My current gf stayed in a sexless marriage for close to a decade. Despite trying to address the issue by discussing it and even having doctors suggest ways to boost her husband's libido, he remained intractable on the issue. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and started having affairs...

It is quite possible. Neediness (especially neediness verging on desperation, obsessiveness, perseverating on the same issues) can be a turn off for many people. If your partner is generally attracted to strength of character, confidence and independence in a person - partner or otherwise -...
