You are probably right that some intimacy will be lost without the sex. Honestly, this is what largely broke us up with the first two of the women I have lived with. They were vehemently mono, however, and so breaking up was the only option. I am still with the third and it has also been...

Unfortunately, I have no advice on what to do. What I can say is that this is a very common problem, in my experience, when women move in with their men (maybe happens with lesbians as well, but I wouldn't know). Out of the three women I have lived with, it happened with all three of them once...

It's impossible to tell what this guy is thinking because I don't know him. However, I could tell you what might be the case if this were a story about me. I will often meet someone under similar circumstances to that which you describe, and when I meet her the first time, I have myself psyched...

Actually, come to think of it, Clara-Doctor-Pink is even more poly than that at the moment. However, none of those were(are) established relationships. They were(are) all developing. Vastra-Jenny-Strax is so stable.

Ok, I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. have been long before it was fashionable. But... Are Madame Vastra, Jenny, and Strax in a polyamorous relationship? Yes, I realize Strax is an asexual Sontaran, but relationships don't always have to be about sex. It really strikes me as being about as close to...

I am going to start writing here just to get some things into words and out there. I would love comments, but not from people who feel the desire to be rude and disrespectful. And, make no mistake, you will read a lot in my story that you will find objectionable. You are free to disagree with me...

This is oft-repeated untruth. Woody Allen and Mia Farrow were never married, never even lived together. Woody Allen married Mia Farrow's adopted daughter, Soon-yi. There was some cheating, though. Mia and Woody broke up when she found nude pictures Woody took of her (20-year old) daughter. Then...

ok, a lot of responses here. I guess I should get down to replying. @YouAreHere: I think you are absolutely right about taking it kind of slow, and have some good suggestions for communication. I just hope she is open enough to communication to make it possible. @Candiedlove: I'm still not...

Hmm, interesting question. This thread has me thinking a lot. I can imagine reasons people might think they want to limit ages. Often people believe that there will be nothing in common between "old" people and "young" people. However, I think that's mistaken. People are capable of relating to...

@KC43: Thanks for the respectful response. You are absolutely right that I am stuck in a relationship model I am not ok in. As I said in the original post, staying in this relationship monogamously is NOT an option. It's not about a "shiny new toy." Yes, that incident was what kick-started the...

@Dagferi. Your opinion has been noted. Thanks for the response. P.S. I think your condescending and rude tone is uncalled for. If I were a self-centered prick, I would do whatever I wanted and wouldn't care. I would not come onto a forum asking for advice on making the best decision. Possibly...

Yes, I mentioned the "mercy break up" in the original post. It's one of the options on the table. I guess the question is what makes you so sure that she is better off getting dumped from a 4.5 year loving relationship than she would be learning to adapt her expectations of that relationship...

Last night I started the conversation with my girlfriend about me taking on a second girlfriend. But before I get to that, here's some background. I have been with my girlfriend about 4.5 years. It has been a completely sexless relationship for about 3.5 years. There is still physical...

Thanks for the responses. She is at least a little interested in me. She hung out with me for two days straight and at one point actually said to me "I will make love with you once I get to know you a little better." I'm just going to call it a friendship for the moment, though, and wait and see...

I'm not entirely sure this is the right place to post since I don't really know if I'm looking for advice and it's not really about my relationship. Although it is kind of both. I just want to tell the story to someone, and I don't have a lot of real life friends who would completely understand...

Hello everyone. I just joined and I guess this would be an appropriate place for a first post. I live in Korea currently but am from the USA. Let's see... what to say. I have been polyamorous for a long time, but have never been in a real poly relationship before. I have had simultaneous...
