    cnm confusion about emotions: something to journal and process, or need more action?

    I've been thinking something that nobody's mentioned and I can't imagine you're not feeling... The two of you have this long history but other than that one month before you left, you haven't really been able to enjoy each other's company. If I were in your shoes I'd be craving some intense...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    So, that Jordan kinda threw me for a loop. I texted him once the next day, just asked him why he seemed so down in the morning. No response. So it seems like that's that. Sigh... Normally I am pretty good at letting go of that shit. And I had the thought go through my head several times...

    New poly-relationship has me in crisis!

    I think he's done a pretty amazing job. It hasn't been quite four months since his wife told him she was interested in this guy and maybe 3 1/2 since she started dating him. He's made a sea change in his lifestyle. I don't mind reassuring, either. As far as the blankets and cuddling goes...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    Holy cow, you guys. I think I've developed a full on age fetish. Or maybe I'm just a dirty old woman. Ack! Last night I went out with guy who I had been messaging pretty furiously on okc for a day and a half. There have been a couple of people that I e really connected with through texting...

    Poly after infidelity -- Oh what a wicked web we weave.

    I know it sounds harsh, but ITA with graviton. I don't think she sounds like the kind of person you can build a family with and feel confident that she's not gonna pull the rug out from under you (well, you can never be confident of that, or shouldn't be, but she seems a bad bet). Wouldn't it...

    Poly couple reading text messages

    Wow! That sounds like crazy business! If that's really their agreement, she should have told you that in December. I wouldn't like that at all if I was you.

    Wife is going to leave me to go mono. Want this to be a healthy transition. Thoughts?

    I wonder what happens if they crash and burn. Will she be content to be single?Will you feel like you have to take care of her somehow? Also, I'm wondering if this guy is the poly guy that she was dating or a newer one. And if so, does this mean he's given up poly for her?

    I've gotten a second wind!

    Oh my! When it rains it pours! So a couple weeks ago I decided to try to stop adding new partners for a while. And it isn't working the way I was hoping. I like to be busy and out with people a lot. I have some great friends who I love and see probably twice a week. They all have kids...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    I am completely drowning in NRE for both Pornographer and Main Squeeze. I don't think I've had this experience before of just being completely intensely crazy about two people at the same time this way. When I left P's place on Saturday, I felt on top of the world and wondered if I could still...

    Wife is going to leave me to go mono. Want this to be a healthy transition. Thoughts?

    According to your first post here, her first date was only six weeks ago! And now she's ready to go be monogamous with him!!!? Of course, you and she have a lot more information than I do, but that seems awfully sudden. It took my ex and I many months to go from talking about breaking up to...

    Sex drive & poly

    My drive has varied hugely over time, which I think is mostly due to circumstances for me. The only time I've ever felt like it was a physical thing was when I was pregnant the first time and completely insatiable. i kinda looked forward to that for my second pregnancy but it never happened.

    Need Advice from someone that can relate. Having a harder time than the other two.

    This all sounds awesome! Feeling inadequate and ugly is awful. I have those feelings, too, sometimes, and I feel like it can be totally independent of my circumstances, like more of an internal thing. But to the extent that it's about the people/relationships I'm involved with, I've gotten...

    Need Advice from someone that can relate. Having a harder time than the other two.

    Can you tell us more about the situation? Like, how did you guys meet her and how do you feel about her? Are you excited about being with her yourself? Did you feel like you were pushed into it? Do you feel like it's more about them?

    I've gotten a second wind!

    Well, hmmm, I've realized that I feel a little queezy about putting the sweet stuff out there on a public forum. So, I think I'm not gonna go into any detail at all, but I will say that there was a fair amount of talking about what we are to each other and I was feeling close and all warm and...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    Well, I had a great couple of days w my pornographer. 😍 There was a bit of strangeness to it though, as can be expected with all my dates. I think, consciously or unconsciously, he was testing me in several different ways. I had been saying that I wanted to see more of his work (had only...

    Sex drive & poly

    Ooooh, I'm jealous, Halcyeus! I don't have a firm understanding of how strong my sex drive is generally. During most of my marriage, our sex life was pretty terrible and I didnt really wanna have sex at all and didn't feel like I missed it. But for the last 3 years or so I've been pretty...

    to be frustrated or not to be frustrated

    That was an awesome and sweet move on your hubby's part, KC. Nobody came to my rescue, but they each took a side and I was last to sit down. He seemed to be making room for me, she didn't seem to be. I originally met this guy on okc and after we had had a few exchanges, he sent me her...

    to be frustrated or not to be frustrated

    If you liked her and your husband likes her, then I'm guessing she's probably a nice, friendly person who has no idea how to go about communicating and hanging out with her boyfriend's wife. I am new to poly myself and I have no idea what is normal behavior when I'm around my boyfriends'...

    Strange is kinda what I go for. 😁

    I've gotten a second wind!

    Thanks, Karen! And Halcyeus, I'm not sure if it'll help, either, but certainly more understanding on my part is better than less. 😊 As for the "porn addiction" thing, I'm not so sure I buy it either (though that could be partly bc I just don't enjoy porn all that much), but the prevailing...
