    the "one-penis policy" thread

    Interesting discussion. I have a close friend (Jasper) who has to be away from his wife (Moon) for a while and they agreed that she could have relationships with other women (she’s bi) while he’s away as long as it’s only women and if he’s included in the relationship once they’re reunited. As...

    New Board Space Idea

    I’m new here and greedy for info from multiple perspectives. It seems more like a forum for thoughtful relationship discussions. I can see a separate used-to-be-poly thread being a useful quick-search tool for people looking for that viewpoint, but i think some thougfulness on how it was...

    Poly didn’t fix old problem

    Thanks again for the insight. It’s not solved, but things are less tense and he’s getting set up with therapy. I’m looking into it for myself as well. GalaGirl, thanks for the links- I’m very interested in learning more about this. We started watching some of the Rosenberg material available on...

    Poly didn’t fix old problem

    FallenAngelina, I really think you’re right. It’s very bolstering to have the resource of everyone’s thoughts and experiences and insights here. Even just feeling like I’m not the only one trying to puzzle things out helps, makes it feel less dire. There might be good options for moving forward...

    Poly didn’t fix old problem

    Kevin, yeah that’s the jist of it. He basically hurt all three of us by lying. The thing with Pill is that I can’t figure out why not tell me how flirty they’d gotten and why not tell her about me? With Lens, telling her would have meant changing/ending a meaningful romantic relationship, so I...

    Looking forward to learning

    Kevin, they did. Before we moved we had both of them half time, eventually his son (the oldest) full time. When we moved out of state his son came with us and his daughter stayed with her mother. This meant each kid got the best school option for them, but it’s been sad to be away from his...

    Poly didn’t fix old problem

    Thank you for the insight. Yeah, it’s hard to be facing this so deep into this relationship. I’ve been trying to sort out my feelings and figure out what to even ask for. When we switched to poly, the conversation about Lens came back up. I wanted him to tell her the whole story, but it kinda...

    Poly didn’t fix old problem

    My partner, Kettle, and I are having a pretty big issue and I could use some perspective. For brief history, we’ve been together 9ish years and opened up two years ago. It’s been fairly uneventful, a few perused crushes that didn’t pan out and I made out with a friend, but that’s been about it...

    Looking forward to learning

    Hi all, I’m Midwest born and raised living in PA currently. I’m an artist and “jack of all trades” (Jill?). I still feel new to poly. My long term partner, Kettle (8 or 9 ish years together) opened up our relationship about two years ago. Since then I have made out with a pal and went on one...
