    Out of the ashes

    The more I read on here, the more I realize I AM telling myself stories and I'm also concentrating too much on the negative. Is it a really bad thing that the relationship between L and I might not blossom into what I fantasize about or even come to an end? I don't want it to end, obviously. I...

    Out of the ashes

    Think I discovered a new passion at work. Automation. I love working with bots. And I love the people up here. Wonder if I should come home at all some times. Yes, in this short period of time. But I'm going to roll with it. I'm ready to go with any positive at this time. I got another 3 weeks...

    Out of the ashes

    Today was a good, crazy day. I got to learn a whole new system at work and I was quick to pick it up. I met at least 50 new people today (no, not an exaggeration). I'm tired, I'm burnt out, but I'm also filled with a new energy. I love new environments and I love meeting new people, so I'm in my...

    A big mess...

    It isn't, but he dodged a serious bullet. Made me really think of my own health issues too. Heck I've been thinking so much the past 48 hours, my head just hurts.. I started a blog: Out of the Ashes Overly dramatic title, lol, but hey, it fits. Will be doing my replies there from now on...

    Out of the ashes

    Decided I wanted a blog thread instead of continuously posting in the first thread I started. A Big Mess... Is the introductory thread. Details suck. Feel free to ask for clarification. -- First off, I'm 28 years old and a female. Started my poly relationship (though you could argue I'm a...

    Consent: What if it's Not Required?

    Forgive me if this has been already brought up, but I found a point interesting on the first few pages. I've read a lot, but not all of it, so again, sorry if this has been pointed out. It was said that a partner has the right to revoke consent, and close up the marriage. The "bus can stop, but...

    Retracted Consent

    I don't have any advice I think would be practically. But listen, IMO, I would not marry her. DON'T. Not until you feel the situation is settled. You don't want to be bound to somebody by marriage and end up breaking her heart (and yours) by not being able to be the person she wants you to be...

    A big mess...

    Interesting breakthrough He called me to come see him. She was there and promised not to block me from seeing him. Then actually talked to me about his test results. At one point, we were both holding his hands. Keeping it polite, I left early so it wouldn't be too much. Am eternally...

    A big mess...

    Things took a bad step. He had a health issue. I feel shut out because she doesn't want me around. Yes, she she let me see him, but very briefly. Guess the whole "she needs to see she is loved OVER you" has finally happened. At this point, I only care about his health over all, because this...

    HELP! Husband of 25+ years in love with former colleague, wants poly relationship

    I don't know if this helps, but... You really can't control who you fall in love with. I'm in a situation myself, as the "other woman" I can tell you... The man I fell in love with was NO ONE I had any intentions of falling in love with. I sensed my feelings for him. I spent MONTHS, yes...

    A big mess...

    Over the past few weeks, L and I have been talking more over email then in person. When we see each other on our day together, it has been mostly going out and trying to step away from life. The fact of the matter is, we are both just run down from working our careers and both have very...

    A big mess...

    Still together. L actually stayed over night last night. Progress and setbacks have happened. Would post more but I'm pretty worn down. Just for those who might've wondered, we're still standing.

    A big mess...

    I'm moving 10 days earlier then expected. Big day today. Been processing a lot of things. L and I have come to terms to that things are...just not ideal. We've been giving each other more space and I've lowered my short term expectations. However, we've also been communicating a lot better...

    A big mess...

    Hey guys. Thanks Kevin for your reply. I'm barely awake because my job has taken off. Holiday season starts in like 20 days? Wow... So a few updates - will provide more details when things settle BUT: I said the hell with it, I'm figuring out how to get my own place ASAP. And I did! Going...

    A big mess...

    I said I THINK it could be NRE. I'm not 100% sure. Guess I posted way too soon. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed here. So dump him and move on. Gotcha.

    A big mess...

    See THAT's what I'm torn about. One of the flaws I had about my previous marriage was that I was too career driven and "wild". I couldn't be there for my husband as much as he wanted. I wasn't the stay at home, white picket fence, mother he wanted me to be. I was once highly driven and...

    A big mess...

    Already working on this :) We ended up falling in love in the long run. When this first all came to pass (I want to say the first half), both of us didn't want the "love" part. There was a dynamic to the relationship that we both embraced that had nothing to do with love. That came over time...

    A big mess...

    I'm new. And in a huge huge mess. I'm not even sure what I'm really looking for here. Mainly just...I don't know, a place to talk about it? I've been lurking here for a month. I've been reading everything. Let me just say, this place has helped me A LOT. I've would've lost my mind a long time...
