    Married, non practicing poly woman

    My heart really goes out to you. That is a heart wrenching situation. Did he every say specifically why he wants poly out of his life? Does he associate the pain he's been through specifically with poly?

    Out of the ashes

    I am away. Bear left 24 hours earlier. I am in agony at the present moment because I feel so lonely. I have ALWAYS been in a position where I can get home or be close to those I love if I needed too. I can't right now. It's making me crazy. And yes, I am questioning whether or not I made the...

    Out of the ashes

    I decided on a new job. Going to orientation this week. I've been scared. Things have become tumultuous family wise. My father is very ill. He is in the hospital. I do not think he's ever coming home. Sunny seems to be acting out lately. No one is really sure why. My mother is handling things...

    Out of the ashes

    Took more steps in making a job decision. Talked to Bear about an insecurity. It was building up. Really "grieving" the idea of changing careers. So exhausted. Will post later.

    Can a kink affair turn poly?

    This sounds awful. If he really is pestering you to be intimate with this woman, thats a level of disrespect that should never be tolerated, mono or poly. I really hope you can get out of this situation soon.

    Out of the ashes

    The meet up was spectacular. Huge turn out (at least, in our eyes) and a very warm welcome. Met someone I just enjoyed talking too from the jump. His perseverance through his troubles inspired me to keep pushing hard and keep my current course. It was a 1.5 hour drive though and only 30 minutes...

    Thoughts on Marriage and Polyamory

    That's his fault? Or any other married couple? We need those benefits. I would happily share the pot if I could with my other future partners if I were legally allowed to do so. The best thing you could, as you say, is create the equity. But would it be wise to go through all the contracts and...

    Out of the ashes

    I got several job offers. Now I'm just torn on which one to choose and which course of action is best for my family. I still have a good 3 weeks before I need to make a decision - but I need to make one. It's nagging at me. Good thing is is that Bear can cover my son on his health insurance...

    How often do you talk to your partner about insecurity?

    I'm insecure, due to my own actions and to the...circumstances I'm in. But I was curious, how often do you talk to your own partner about your insecurities? How about in a situation when you have talked to your partner about your insecurities and promised to work on them together, but you...

    Out of the ashes

    I look at my son and think to myself.. He's so perfect. He looks so blissful when sleeping. A lot of my anger is the horrendous shame that he's in this situation. I would've left his father eventually. I knew that when he was first born. Even with the situation explained in this blog...

    What I want vs what he wants

    Definitely listen to the advice above. If he's allowing polyamory just to keep you, that isnt a good situation at all. If you find out that this is the case, you both need to resolve this before anything else can happen. It could to lead to the relationship falling apart.

    Out of the ashes

    Thank you for the kind words Spork. I haven't grieved, to be honest. At least, not fully. Right now all I feel is anger. A ton of anger. I take one look at my ex now, or hell, even just a text and I literally feel ill. I also feel a huge amount of shame. I cannot believe I ever even touched...

    This blog is excellent. I just love reading the stories. I was chuckling, nodding, and gasping out loud as I read through it. Such great insights etc. Thank you for writing it.

    Telling my mom

    Yep. I do. My mother and I are extremely close and she is very accepting and supportive. She always respects my decisions and full life style. She knows my bdsm tendencies (I wear my collar around her), the fact that Bear is quite a bit older than me, and knows he sees other woman and knows my...
