    Is the poly experience different for married men vs. married women?

    Pansexual married woman here, but I've only had heterosexual relationships so far in my dating life. I have two long term boyfriends and have generally had an easier time finding partners than any of my current partners have. Both my husband and one boyfriend are married, and the general...

    Nesting Arrangements

    My husband and I have a huge 5 bedroom house. Our two daughters each have their own rooms. And then we each have our own bedroom, there is an extra guest room but it's completely empty right now except for some junk, eventually I want to dress it up nice so people can actually stay in it, lol...

    Poly-friendly Churches

    Token UU here! Join our cult! :D Personally, I've found that I like the community a religious community offers and am active in both the local UU and pagan communities, which have been very accepting of my polyamorous lifestyle.

    Age Gaps

    My partners are 34, 31 and 28. I'm 31, so we're all around the same age. I've dated people older than me by 10-15 years and while there weren't major issues I'd be hesitant to do so again because we really didn't have a lot of cultural things in common and sometimes that made it hard to find...

    Poly and Asperger's syndrome

    Your BF sounds very similar to my husband. He was diagnosed as a child with Asperger's as well but never got any treatment for it really. Although he is currently in therapy and we've found that to be very helpful. A lot of the problems we have stem from our very different styles of...

    Woo! It's been awhile! Time flies and all that. Normal life stuff keeping me busy. Just seems like there's always one thing after another. My sister had her baby, so I'm officially an aunt now (yay!). All seems to be going well there, mom and baby healthy. There's some drama with my...

    Let's see...what's been going on....pretty much just the usual. The kids are on vacation from school this week so today I took them up to Ithaca to play in the children's garden they have there. I love Ithaca so much, it makes my hipster heart swoon! One day I want to go up there with them...

    Well....today's been a real mixed bag. I met up with Mechanic for our Friday lunch date as we've been trying to do and had a rough conversation. He gets upset when I schedule things with or make plans with friends, largely because he doesn't have many of his own that he can do the same with...

    Two options. Trying to understand choice.

    Like above I'm curious who came up with those two options? I sometimes have friends over when my husband is out on a date, do you have friends that could visit instead while he's out? I would try not to take it personally, him choosing to do what both of them want to do on their date is...

    It was a hectic weekend. First we went to the local town Maple festival, it's basically the only thing that ever happens in town, lol, so it's a must to attend. That was fun, I got some yummy maple cream and maple candy which shall be devoured and we watched Mechanic's new partner's kid along...

    Thank you Leetah! When she got home from school this afternoon she said that she was feeling much better about the tests and that they weren't as bad as she was expecting. So my stressing and worrying was all for naught thankfully. :)

    Things've been busy here. I've gotten back into my social life fully after the anxiety stuff I was struggling with lifted some. So back at running the pagan group, seeing Gamer and Nerd once a week each, hanging with friends, stuff with family, etc. etc. So...what's been going on....the pagan...

    Snow sucks. Over 30 inches has landed here in 48 hours. I can't take any more! It's supposed to be spring soon! They actually had called in the National Guard to help with clean up, etc. as I guess our county ended up being in the "epicenter" of the blizzard that hit the area. So the kids...

    Asking out my wife's friend

    I agree with PinkPig. If your wife is uncomfortable with you asking her friend out it might be best to not do it. With my husband and I that's one agreement that we both made each other, we will not date each other's friends, or mutual friends because we do not want those relationships to...

    Been a pretty laid back past couple of days, which honestly I needed. I've decided to take a couple weeks off of UU and pagan group organizing things (well, in person things, still coordinating what I can over email). Hopefully that will ratchet down the stress a bit, at least temporarily...

    Went to my doctor today to talk about the anxiety stuff. After discussing my symptoms, frequency of things, triggers, etc. we decided to try a low dose of Zoloft and see how that works. I'm hoping it does the trick, I'm tired of being so keyed up ALL. THE. TIME. I asked Mechanic if he would...

    Ugh...was it a rough weekend. I went out with Gamer on Friday, all as good, we had a great time but Mechanic was having a bunch of issues with it. It was a beautiful day (70 degrees in NY in February, I mean, OMG beautiful) and I wanted, for the first time in a long time, to wear a skirt and...

    It's been a busy past couple days. I tried to drive to visit my parents and see my grandmother with the girls but an hour and half into our trip my car started smoking and overheating. :( I ended up on the side of the side of the road with two kids waiting for Mechanic to come tow us back, in...

    Ok, so, still feeling pretty down about grad school but not getting in has made me, in many ways feel so grateful for the wonderful people I do have in my life. Mechanic is trying his best to be supportive. He surprised me with lunch today on his break and that cheered me up some. I know he's...

    Thank you PinkPig. <3 That's exactly what my sister said too. I know that's the truth but it's a hard pill to swallow just now. :)
