I have covid. Mild so far - headache, stuffy nose, fever. I hope it doesn't intensify. So far no one else has had a positive test. I hope that also remains the case.

I think the hard thing about this kind of goal is that it is inherently not fair. You're trying to fit people into pre-made spaces instead of tailoring a space to an individual. To me, it's just like unicorn hunting (lots of discussions and articles around about that) where the fantasy is the...

My parents are upset that I plan to travel across the country to visit Boy's extended family (I'll pay for most of myself, Boy is paying for himself and the child and has offered to supplement where my travel budget may fall short) instead of going to see them (paid for 100% by them). But I...

Marriage comes with a lot of inherent benefits which can become a limiter to other relationships. - Hospitals will let a spouse in and ask them for decisions if you can't make them, but wouldn't allow a bf/gf in, unless you filled out extra forms. And even then it is letting the spouse in with...

Do you have overnights together? If so... just bring it up as an extension of that. "Hey, husband... since i have to go get my certification and could use the company to help stay awake during the drive, partner thinks he'll be able up go with me. This way I'll stay safe, I'll still get my...

I agree that this is the most thoughtful, welcoming, realistic platform I've found. I'm only in local groups on Facebook specifically with the goal of meeting people irl (or at least knowing it's a possibility if the mood strikes).

There are private Facebook groups that function much like this forum. Questions, discussions, pictures, random stories, etc. The down side is... it's FB so attached to your profile unless you make a completely new one for that purpose (some groups will have you verify with a mod before...

The rats have definitely been a welcome addition! Hubby hates them but helps LG do their basic care (food/ water) when I'm gonna overnight. Life is uneventful. I've stopped trying to lose weight because I wasjust feeling so tired for a while. I think I'm going to give myself until June then...

Maybe I'm too cynical, but your best friend and she really didn't think you'd notice? Giving the friend the benefit of the doubt, he knows you're typically non-monogamous, yes? So if your wife told him the situation, he would have no reason to question it, since open is your usual MO. I think...

I would want to know the reasons and would make a decision based on that. It is odd, but I honestly wouldn't be too put off by it if there were (what I see as valid) reasons. Terrible things happen to people every day. People have jobs with insane morality clauses. Security clearance can...

I was given rats. I've wanted pet rats since I was a child. I'm so over the moon. They're incredibly sweet and love kids. Their care is...a lot, but it's manageable. I've realized my dog is actually old. We likely only have 1-3 years left with him. He had a lot of trauma before we got him...

I had protected sex all the time with Boy when I was not preventing/ got pregnant with Hubby. No doubt the child is Hubby's. Looks, attitude, and genetic testing proven (for fun, not for necessity). Lol You're probably fine. Condoms are very effective. Precum can contain viable sperm, but...

I've had an ex add me on social media. Someone I would say I wronged. I sent a message a year or two after it happened and got left on read. Now almost a decade later, a friend request with no message. I'm so torn.i think of her often still. But the history, physical distance, and the fact that...

My experience has been the opposite. The most stable polyam relationships I've seen IRL are mfm vees. Open triads seem more stable than closed ones from what I've seen. In general, closed and/or history of unicorn hunting triads expect all to be completely fair and equal then fall apart when...

Honestly, while the infinity heart IS widely recognized as a polyam symbol, it isn't THAT widely known outside of the nonmonogamous. A few years ago, a local church was using an infinity heart for "infinite love" and I've seen similar in other places online that aren't tied to polyamory or...

That rule reads as wildly unfair because you have zero personal space. Not that it changes the fact that you agreed to not do something then did it anyway. Why the space issue though? Would it be possible to either separate spaces entirely (this is YOUR room, this is MY room, we can do what we...

That sounds really stressful! Hubby and I actually started dating in high school, but I did a lot of dating around the couple of years beforehand. Without those experiences I think it would be really hard to define what I want and need out of a relationship. Even after opening up to polyamory, I...

That doesn't sound like compromising. That sounds like agreeing to unhealthy rules and then breaking those rules. A compromise is a meeting in the middle (can be closer to one side than the other, but still in between somewhere). None of that happened there.

Then why bring up a rating? Others have asked why you have such a low opinion of yourself for a reason. Your self esteem impacts your dating life.

I would recommend checking out groups/sites/ clubs for swingers (best options vary by location). You'll find more people comfortable with the discretion/secrecy aspect, and you will know they're into the sexual side primarily - they will also likely be more comfortable with your husband being...
