    Husband into younger women

    Neither. I think that there needs to be a limit to how much older the older person involved with an underage person can be. An example would be limiting it to older but under 21. If the older person is 21 or more, it's statutory rape.

    Husband into younger women

    I think it sends a bad message to not allow adult rights to someone but consider them an adult as long as an older persons sex parts are touching them.

    Husband into younger women

    Out of curiosity.... In your country, are age of consent laws applied in the same way under 18 age of consent laws work in the U.S.? "You're an adult while I play with your body but when I'm done, you're back to being a minor." Or are all rights we, in the U.S. reserve for 18 and older, set at...

    I don't want to be poly under these circumstances

    Sometimes, when a person is allowed as much of something as they say they want, they gorge, choke on it, and lose their appetite for it.

    partner and metamour getting married. not sure how I feel

    Has her visa ran out yet? If so, report her. Wait, you said a few months. Okay I'd stay put in your current residence (so long as you are not threatened) till it runs out. They can't pull off this marriage thing legitimately with you still there. Once it expires, report her. Are you on the...

    partner and metamour getting married. not sure how I feel

    I have a feeling that if they get married, immediately the rug will get pulled out. Suddenly you'll be asked to live apart from them "just temporary" so they won't get pinched for marrying just for her to get citizenship. I don't think this is just so she can stay state side. If they've looked...

    Primary asked for a break

    I would caution that stopping your dating entirely will do the opposite of making your LD but soon to move closer partner feel better. Its great that you take her feelings into account when considering what decisions to make. She is feeling threatened by your dating life. You agreeing to cut it...

    How much is too much?

    Perhaps what was bothering you was more about a lack of discrimination. For anyone to have that many partners in such a short amount of time, they can't really be getting to know them more than superficially. As a more invested party in his life could begin to wonder if the "who", any time he is...

    How to find a girlfriend for a couple without freaking her out?

    I completely believe partner hunting on the job is one of the worst ideas ever whether you're poly or mono, but its even more of a risk if you're poly and any of your coworkers know you to be part of a committed relationship. If they know this and then pick up on a vibe between you and another...

    Mono person thought I was offering to cheat?

    If he knows Elliot, and Elliot is also partners with Anna, I'm betting he also knows Anna. So that means he knows Elliot is partners with two women. You, a whole and separate person from Elliot, express your interest in him (Mark) and he immediately thinks you're out of line? and reports you to...

    Dealing with poly feelings while relationship is still closed

    How long is for the time being? Have you given him an ETA on how long you will wait? Also, have you been asked to not flirt? Or is that a self imposed boundary you've chosen because you feel you'd end up cheating?

    Advice for maintaining boundaries with exes?

    I could see it being more hurtful if he hid it from everyone. Pity her BF isn't terribly FB savvy. I do sympathize. My husband's ex turned pretty insulting. He believes her behavior and actions stem from her own marital troubles. In his opinion, she wants/wanted to re-live the affair her...

    Advice for maintaining boundaries with exes?

    He put up pictures on his FB and you felt: Good? Accepted in your relationship? That he was proud of his relationship with you? Or perhaps he was including you in his history and sharing you with his personal community? Whatever you feel over his posted picture of the two of you.... Do your...

    Just confused

    So her exclusivity of only you wasn't something you requested but rather a circumstance SHE wanted. Got it. Might be a big red flag for you in the future.

    Just confused

    I too am only seeing potential problems in a married poly person expecting a mono minded, single person to be exclusive with them. I'm not even sure why a married poly person would feel it necessary or fair when their own spouse has another partner too. Am I missing something?

    Refitting Broken Pieces (MMF Polyfidelity)

    I think the fact that your husband wants you to end a relationship you flourished in AND restrict you to be a side partner only to him and some other woman/women shows he still doesn't own his part in the split between the two of you as well as doesn't have your best interests held as important...

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    I still see this as something he is influencing. He wants all his loves living with him. She is looking at uprooting her life to try to give him what he wants and understandably knows doing so only to find y'all still can't get along would be a bad, pointless thing for her to do. Because of what...

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    It sounds like a three way discussion is needed. He wants all of you to live together. This puts pressure on forging a friendship. She tried. You decided you "just do not like her" but it doesn't sound like you even want to get to know her. Your own words suggest you don't know much about her...

    Age/Education Disparities in Relationships

    For the education side of things your wife is focusing on her perceived lack concerning higher learning. I've met many people who, through reading and interest, only differ from highly educated people in that one has student loans a piece of paper and they don't. As well, many of us have met...

    New living arrangement - less fun than advertised

    The fun she had wasn't in HIS/THEIR space judging by her saying she would tell him when she got home. It being in their space would be a change he didn't endure for her and it can make it a bit much for some. I ASKED if that might be her struggle. No one is putting me out of my home so they can...
