    Thoughts on Marriage and Polyamory

    We are dealing with this right now, actually. Our Quad started with the other two engaged, set to be married later that year, and we got engaged during the beginning of the Quad relationship. Since then, they are going through a divorce and we had our small wedding scheduled and planned. The...

    After sex with others, what happens at home?

    In the beginning of our polyfidelity (is that right?) relationship, our rule was sex could only happen if everyone was present, but, naturally, we didn't really follow this rule. Note that we were still in the quad setup and slept in separate bedrooms. So, for about four months, TF and I were...

    Trouble w/ Feelings

    Update: Had a lot of discussion throughout the day w/ TF. My mother actually surprised him for lunch, too, and everything is good! He still will struggle with the "legality", but he's much more comfortable after realizing that my family still views him as important as PF and we are also...

    Trouble w/ Feelings

    I think you might be right in that it's a lot to deal with overall in such an untimely manner. He's always been apart of the day and actually voluntarily planned dinner and a sunset boat charter after the ceremony. It's just the "they're married and he's not" part that seems to be getting to...

    Trouble w/ Feelings

    Hi, there! I need some advice - PF and I are getting married this weekend. TF is super excited, but, at the same time, it is really bothering him in that he feels like he's going to 'be the odd man out' in that PF and I will be legally married and he will not have that, therefore feels like...

    A problem with the way the media portrays polyamory.

    I would like to respectfully disagree with this statement. :) I can say that reading some of the posts in here have actually helped me in that I feel like we aren't the only ones going through "this" or "that". It's nice to see responses and how other people have handled similar situations...

    What are you drinking right now?

    I've been on a vodka soda kick lately, but we've also been hooked on making mojitos, using the mint found all over our yard!

    A problem with the way the media portrays polyamory.

    This! I agree with this so much - Everything I found online, for the most part, was dealing with MFM, MFF, and MFMF where the men were very rarely even bisexual. This caused so much confusion for the four of us in the beginning because we were trying to relate to people with children and...

    How have you met your current / past partners?

    I met CPF through an ex boyfriend over 10 years ago and had always sort of followed up with each other throughout the years on occasion - you know, the typical check ins with AIM, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Then, he kept inviting us to parties they threw and I finally said we would go. PF and I...

    Risk Averse

    Hi, there, Knickers! I cannot imagine going through what you are going through in terms of trust and compromise. There are some things that are uncompromising and that's when it deals with my health and the health of my partners. I've been in relationships in the past where a boyfriend would...

    Rethinking our Quad after 1 year

    I want to wish you congrats, although I know that it also comes with some sour connotations. I'm just thirty and my fiancé and boyfriend are in their late twenties. Boyfriend is going through a divorce, as of Monday. Like someone said before, any excuses can be made for or against divorce but...

    Why Do I Find it so Hard to Sleep When my Partner is Out?

    Hi, there! I'm newish around here, been poking around for a couple of months but hardly ever post. My advice is to have a discussion with your boyfriend and let him know you thoughts and feelings. It sounds like you have a strong enough relationship that vulnerabilities and insecurities can be...
