Correction: It is an indisputable fact that, in Catholicism, marriage is a holy Catholic sacrament. I don't think that anyone denies that marriage is a holy vow or sacrament or whatever applies in religions... It's just that it's nothing religious OUTSIDE of those boundaries to people that...

I believe that it's more evolved to accept things that you don't like if it makes people that do like it happy... as long as it causes no harm to you or others that are unaccepting. If that makes any sense. Several examples: It's more evolved to accept homosexual relationships... as long as...

Sounds to me like you are most definitely "poly capable" (you admit that you are bisexual and compatible with her, and you say you love him... so you obviously can have feelings, attraction, and sex with more than one at a time)... these two just aren't a good fit because they are using you. I...

Just my 2 cents worth, but I'd hate to live in a single communal structure like a giant house. Be it poly families only, mixed poly and mono families, or all mono families. It wouldn't matter to me. A better idea, in my humble opinion, is: separate apartments or separate houses all on/in a...

I was aware of 1 Timothy 3, however... that, as it's written in the Bible, only applies to Bishops. It does not apply to "regular men". The Christian bias against polygyny has no Biblical basis/foundation as it applies to the "everyday man". Proof that it's got nothing to do with "everyday men"...

The law needs to change. Hopefully this issue will be next, once the Gay Marriage issue is settled (properly, in favor of them being allowed to marry), country wide (hopefully by SCOTUS, this year). The thing I always found funny is... all the laws against Polygamy are Christian based.. yet...

Being poly SHOULDN'T affect whether the kids get taken by the father or not. Unfortunately, though, I have a lot of experience with courts going against what should or shouldn't happen. If a judge does rule in favor of the ex (because of you being poly), I'd recommend appealing the ruling.

It might also help to get to know her boyfriend. Not in any "relationship" way, but as another friend, and JUST a friend. If you can see and experience that he is comfortable with the two of you being together, it may allay some of your jealousy issues, because sometimes jealousy can arise out...

I believe that EVERYONE has the capability to be "wired" for Poly... Just like I believe that everyone has the capability to be "wired" for bisexuality. Think of a person's sexual compatibility (both number of partners and gender of partners) like a hallway that stretches on forever, with doors...

I completely disagree. The "point" of marriage is (to me anyway) to get the 1400-odd legal benefits that come with it. a couple can love each other just as much with or without marriage (I see that you do cover that later). I believe that if plural marriage were legal, more than just two people...

I am in the same sad boat as you are, so I understand your pain. I too am "Poly-at-heart but monogamous in marriage".

This is very good advice. Especially the second paragraph.

Sometimes people forget the old saying: "Better to be silent and thought an idiot, than to speak and remove all doubt" That CPS threat sender just removed all doubt as to his/her idiocy level.

(completely missed this post earlier for some reason...) What research. I'd really like to know. Polyamory "correlates" with those things the same way that Monogamy does. Poly people can be straight, bi, or gay Mono people can be straight, bi, or gay Poly people can be into BDSM Mono people...

Sounds to me like the Girlfriend status is "Ultimatum understood and accepted". I could be totally wrong though... that's just how it sounds... to me.

Why would they be more jealous if they are "connecting" (pardon the pun) with the other female though? "FFM" (at least to me) means "one bisexual female with two partners, one male (who may or may not be interested in the other female partner), one female (who may be a lesbian, and ONLY...

Ahhhh... I see your confusion. You are reading my answer without tying it into the question. My answer was specifically limited to how it applies to the question, not to how it applies to all Poly relationships in existence. I don't believe that all poly situations have a BDSM component. The...

Oh I wasn't limiting it to those four options... they were just the first four that came to mind and seemed the easiest to type out. Just like with Poly (without even taking into account any any BDSM aspect) the possible combinations are limitless.

The best answer I can come up with to that question is: "Every time there are more than two people involved in the relationship". It might be one Dom/Domme and multiple subs It might be one spouse/partner that's not into BDSM but the other is and they have a Dom/Domme (making a "V") It might be...

I think it's entirely "in parity" with 1 guy, 2 gals. I think in the poly "community" either is equally acceptable. The hitch is... those that won't accept it wouldn't accept 1 guy, 2 gals either. And (unfortunately) they are in the majority (at least insofar as those that can make/change laws...
