We have been together for 2 years and we both love each other. Part of the problem is that we are long distance, and I generally stay with him and his gf when I visit. He does come and visit me some as well.

I think she wants to give us the appearance everything is ok. She says she doesn't talk to any of her friends about poly stuff so she tends to keep it all inside.

He does not want to give either of us up. He also says he and her have talked frequently about being poly but he feels even when they talk one on one she tries to minimize her feelings. She has mad it clear to him she would never break up with him

I spent the weekend seeing my partner. In the past his gf has had issues with jealousy, but it had seemed like she was really becoming less jealous and we were starting to become more friendly. The last few months me and his gf have even been able to hang out when I visit and have fun...

Minus the two women you said were admittedly bi-polar how do you know the rest were actually bi-polar? As a health professional and someone with a very close relative that struggles with bi-polar, it is much more than just a person that has mood swings. And just because a person has mood...

Just wanted to say I was in the exact same situation when myself and my partner became involved, and his long term gf did not want us having intercourse. It was hard, and I resented her at first. However, I found that once I stopped seeing her as a threat and someone to be angry at, but...

I also have plenty of friends that smoke and use pot regularly. However, due to the nature of my job, I can not use pot as I am subjected to random drug screens at work. I have never used pot, and while curious, not worth the risk for me.

What about next time you two do an activity together you have her be the one pick the activity? Perhaps she has a hobby you could perform with her to try to get to know her better? I got to say, while things with my metamour are improving, I am kind of jealous of the great sounding...

Why don't you just talk to your metamour face to face about this issue, and be honest about the fact that you are not attracted to her nor interested in a physical relationship. The two of you having this passive aggressive relationship will start to put strain on your relationship with your...

Jabba, now that you have explained I understand a bit better where you are coming from. If isn't that you are opposed to an emotional connection being made, you just aren't going out looking for a partner with the expectation of an emotional connection. Just curious, how would you describe...

I find this thread interesting. When my now husband and I started dating 5 years ago, I was "a virgin" by the technical standards of the word...but that did not mean I hadn't had done plenty of other things that had not involved penis in vagina. I think people hear the word virgin and right...

Actually the legal age someone can consent to sex and how old their partner can be varies by state. For example, in my state a 16 year old can have sex, but only if the person is within 2 years of her age, so 18 would technically be legal, but 19 would not.

Have you talked to your insurance agent? Contrary to what many people think any damage/claims made when someone else is driving your car will be covered if you have to file a claim. I had asked this question of a MAJOR U.S. auto insurance company when my then bf was going to be driving my car...

I agree the phrase "family values" does have a unfortunate conservative vibe to it. People seem to think of family values as the traditional 1950's American family values, and don't seem to think of the non-traditional families. Besides poly families, there are LGBT families which also don't...

Just curious if you have kids and are planning on the bf moving in, what do your kids know? Have they even met your bf? How would you explain a new man moving in to them? I am not saying it is a bad idea, I am just saying that these are things that will need to be thought out.

Neither me, C, or H are out to any of our families, and I don't see that changing. My family is very conservative, and I know they would be devastated to see me stray from a traditional family structure. C's family, while more open minded, is still very traditional when it comes to things...

Wow. That was just brutal. I don't watch daytime tv but that Dr. Drew guy is brutal.

As someone who is into BDSM and has several friends involved in the leather scene, for most people involved in the scene, kink and sex go hand in hand, so the fact that he had no interest in kink with you, let alone sex, would have been a sign to me early on that the two of you may not be...

I have introduced H to my family. H was even in C and my wedding party. My family has been around H several times and they really like him and think he is a great guy, but as far as they know he is just a good friend of mine. My family knows that I stay the night at H's house a lot when I am...

I am just curious, since you say this is your first relationship ever, mono or poly-- how old are you? Dealing with all of this for the first time can be overwhelming, especially if you are still getting comfortable learning how relationships can work. It doesn't sound like you have been...
