I hope you're feeling better than you were. :(

As for me, I usually keep quiet about my problems unless it's a really significant issue. Mainly because I usually do that, regardless, when it comes to issues in my relationship. If I say anything to anyone before I approach the issue, it's usually my significant other or metamour. And when I...

People that stick their nose where it doesn't belong and pass judgement about situations they're not even involved with. It's like writing a research paper without any sources. Like, what are you doing, even?

Doing pretty wonderfully. Zed and I reached a new milestone of affection and appreciation for each other, I feel. Dean and I had our switch night last night and spent our second night at the gym together. He and I both feel much more on point with our health now than we did even just a week...

I thought I would give this thread a bump by sharing my own metamour experience. Zed and I just began our poly journey back in January. He and Pixie have been together around 4 months now. They fell really hard and fast for each other. It's been wonderful to watch his growth with her and I...

He seemed to respond pretty well aside from conversation being a struggle to start. He's actually initiated deep conversation gradually over the past couple of days. At one point telling me that sometimes he "takes things personally and it makes him withdraw." It seems as though he needed to...

Music, writing. Writing it out helps me the most when I'm over analyzing because I'm forced to read my own thought process. I have trouble with this quite a lot, myself.

Spoke to Cuba last night. But before we spoke I found out some interesting information about a conversation between he and Zed a couple of weeks ago. Pixie even agreed that she thinks has a lot to do with his recent distance. Cuba had brought me up in conversation between them and disclosed...

Fuckbuddy is where I feel it's twisted. He and I spoke before we even started about the importance of emotional connection with someone I'm sleeping with. He understood and said he felt the same. Fuckbuddy is exactly what I told him I didn't want to be.

After talking this over with zed again tonight I feel a sudden overwhelming feeling as though I've been used. This may be irrational but I'm actually feeling sick now. Going to bed thinking about this. Going to try and talk to Cuba tomorrow after business hours when I know he's off work.

This is where I've gotten a lot of mixed advice. Zed believes that I should just text him something along the lines of "I really miss talking to you." Which would force a response related to our lack of contact. Pixie believes that I should send him a long Facebook message explaining what...

Anxieties with Cuba reached a peak for me yesterday. Here is why: Zed had a show in his town this past week. He took Pixie with him and Cuba said would be there. Which I expected seeing as supporting the comedy scene has always been his number 1 priority. He attends the majority of comedy...

Was really worried today while at work about poly-family issues we had last night. Worried sick almost. Making it worse, today was Dean and mines anniversary so my anxiety really started kicking in when I didn't hear from him like I usually do. Until he showed up at my work with presents and...

I definitely don't disagree with you. I'm fully aware that this is more a me problem than him. I don't think he's doing anything wrong whatsoever. I just have a really big problem processing my emotions and I'm still learning to force myself to do that. I grew up in a really abusive home where...

I'm honestly not entirely sure what we are. I really have no reason to believe that he wants to place a label any greater than that. But I have a hard time not doing that in my mind when he is so publicly affectionate and considerate. The FWB I had years ago much like this was way more...

What you all are saying makes quite a lot of sense. Cuba is extremely independent and seems to really enjoy his bachelor life. I have a ton of respect for that. When he's not working or doing comedy, he's driving across the country to see his daughter, enjoying a movie, or helping a friend out...

Some of you may know of my relationship with Cuba. Those of you that don't, we've had a casual thing for almost 5 months now. A comedian from my home town who is honestly one of the best men I know. He's incredibly considerate, a loyal "bro" type, who takes his responsibilities headlong and...

Really amazing night aside from a small blowup involving Pixies first husband and metamour. Once all that got straightened out, Dean came over to hang out with Zed and I for the rest of the night. The rest of the evening consisted of me admiringly watching Dean's creative process in our living...

Quite a few changes happening over here for our poly family. We've had several hurdles to work through in order to learn how each other work and how we need to communicate. It was kind of a rough start, but we seem to have gotten through the worst of it and now function very normally and...
