    How to find polyamourous couples

    There is a personals section here. Most polyamorous folks near me use tinder and okcupid if they're into online dating. That might vary depending on location. You might start by checking out the threads on unicorn hunting and making sure you're approaching dating in a healthy way. Trying to...

    In a polyamorous relationship and have kids? What seems different to monogamous child reering?

    More adults to love (and spoil and teach and watch out for) the child is the main difference I've noticed. More adults wanting to be at various events was a struggle during a pandemic and limited capacities at things. The kid has so many things that are "special" with people. A favorite book...

    Female-led relationships

    I'm not into power dynamics. In my relationships, there are some things I take lead on (like planning most things lol), somethings Hubby takes lead on (anything social), and somethings Boy takes lead on (most handy projects). Even those are flexible though. We're all pretty equal and just do...

    Talking it out

    So much happening in the world. I'm anxious and angry and just at a loss. I would consider myself anti-war, but damn. I just hate a bully. I do appreciate leadership that is willing to try diplomacy first, but I'm feeling so incredibly sad by current events. It's not a small group of extremists...

    to be in a Closed Trio Fluid bond or not ?

    If y'all actually trust one another and your risk management opinions line up... nothing wrong with it. I would be having barrier free sex with both my partners if they weren't required for pregnancy prevention at the moment. When pregnancy isn't a concern, condoms will go away again. We...

    Tips for Closets?

    Could you all create a list of friends who know so she could post things about you that are only visible to those folks? Then you'd feel acknowledged, she could brag about you like she does husband, and friends can enjoy the photos and such as well? If that's not an option for some reason...

    Talking it out

    Hubby's mom has taken a turn for the worse. They're not sure she'll be here this time next year. I wanted to postpone traveling, but that's not happening now. I don't worry about myself as much as I worry about those we're going to see. His dad insists it's okay and is very careful himself...

    Poly because of boredom

    I would worry that you would be looking for a missing piece to a puzzle versus actually looking for an individual human with actual needs and desires. What happens when you get bored of the new person? Find another? Then another? Then another? It's a potential never ending cycle of...

    Poly because of boredom

    I think it depends what you mean by "bored." Do you mean that your relationship and selves are healthy but you have free time and figure why not? Or do you mean you're not really interested in each other for the exciting stuff anymore but don't want to break up so dating others sounds like a...

    What are the laws regarding polygamy in US

    Sharia court would be legal in the US, but for the most part religious law does not supercede political law (there are exceptions). So, even if polygamy is legal in a certain religion, it has to be done a specific way to make it legal with the government (like only one legal marriage, the rest...

    Talking it out

    The holidays were so fun. We were able to go to a local theater and see the new Spiderman. Little girl and I also went to see an old Christmas movie there. So fun. Life is still busy as ever though. We got some family pictures taken that I haven't done anything with yet. I need to get...

    Unicorn hunters

    Good to know that you consider yourself a disgusting pig. It's that "clarity" that tends to make unicorn hunting toxic, BTW. You're not leaving room for an actual human to have actual opinions.

    Unicorn hunters

    Unicorn hunting is often done unethically making it not polyamory. If it's ethical, it's poly. Do a site search for Unicorn hunting, and you'll find many many resources on the pitfalls of hunting. In general, having a specific role planned for a person without input from that person is...

    How to throuple?

    I'm going to have to agree. 1. You and ex have never had an ethical relationship. Don't ask/don't tell or mutual cheating is not ethical nonmonogamy. What makes you think you're able to do it now? Have you done any preparation? 2. He's in a monogamous relationship with someone who doesn't...

    My wife said she is poly, but is what she is doing, actually poly?

    Short answer? No, what your wife is doing is not polyamory. Polyamory requires the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. You do not consent (coercion until agreement =/= consent). Boyfriend does not consent. Long answer? Your relationship is not okay. It wasn't okay monogamously, and...

    Sudden Onset Polyamory....

    Hubby and I started out swinging together until I caught the feels for our friend/swing partner. Her husband not so subtly encouraged me to admit it to her, and we tried "dating" (it was really just more affection and alone time while the guys pursued other interests both together and...

    Ownership

    Ownership in a relationship is a very specific agreement, but the words "I'm yours, you're mine" don't necessarily mean ownership. Boy will squeeze me and say "mine" or will put an emphasis on MY (my name) or girlfriend or whatever occasionally. We've talked about it, and he means it in a...

    Talking it out

    My period was late. I tested. It was faintly positive, but I started my period later that day. So either a very early miscarriage or a false positive. I don't really have strong feelings either way, other than being glad I didn't tell either guy about the test. I've been playing the swipey...
