    Secondary Travels

    I am in a relationship with D. He is a nice guy and he is my first poly relationship. I am a secondary in the relationship. His wife is primary and she has a bf that is her secondary. Anyway, things are going okay. We are getting along, having fun, have things enough in common to make our time...

    So easily offended...

    Not a cracker, but I do want to put on my polyrosey glasses though.

    Moving in a positive direction

    This was my first reaction. My second was to look at her signature and the roles in the group. She is owned and submissive. I am not exactly sure what this means in their relationships, but if she is okay with this move, that's great. I wonder about the nights she is laying in her new bed...

    Secondary and I think that's okay

    Yay for communication. Had another date, and things couldn't have gone better. Had D over for dinner and I cooked on the grill. This relaxes me. I love grilled food. And I will grill all year even in the snow. So we had dinner and then cuddled on the couch watching some tv. He knew I wanted...

    Longevity of relationships

    This is something I want to discuss with him today. I asked him for some time to just sit and talk and not be having dinner, or watching a movie or cuddling/sex. Just some face to face - but still close and touching in some way - time. I really find that just a simple couple lines of an email...

    Wife's Date

    Yay! and great that you can be excited for her. I hope all goes well! As for what to say - I think you said it here. Let her know how happy you are and supportive and glad that she found someone to be with.

    Longevity of relationships

    I have been thinking about this since I started my new life as a solo poly person and jumped right into a secondary relationship. This is not going to be a fast growing relationship because we are not a triad - his wife has her boyfriend and D has me - and they have each other. I am quickly...

    not broken?

    I have ALWAYS been one to fall in love with the person inside not the gender. I have had both men and women that I have loved and lived with and could care less what their gender was, it was who they were and what they meant to me that mattered. That is not broken.

    Being Alone.

    The panic attacks are upsetting and I wonder if something as simple as him calling to tell you good night. Sometimes just hearing the voice would help. I am in a new relationship but I am a secondary. He is with his wife at night. I like having a text or phone call or online chat but am okay...

    Is this cheating and where do I go from here?

    I am new to this but it sounds like he has no respect for you and the decisions that the two of you have made. He is blatantly disregarding them and then coming back to you saying "oh well". As for your part and why you want to stay and learn. I am not sure, but it is a something lots of...

    Condoms bc

    I don't have anything to add about condoms, but all I can say is good luck. Oh wait, I have seen porn movies where very large men use condoms. Maybe you can find a movie like that, email the director or actor and find out where they get theirs.

    Happily Poly

    That would be a wonderful solution! I love it. As you said, a nice way to get everyone involved.

    Secondary and I think that's okay

    I can understand the "wait mode" issue. It hits me, not so much all the time but really the first 24 hours after we have had a date night. After that I get my brain moving on to some other things. And some of them are social, so that helps. I don't know if I could handle another relationship...

    Longevity of relationships

    I don't know about Poly relationships, but I do know that it was that belief bolded above that kept my late husband and I together for 17 years. It was in year 9 that we were going thru a rough patch and at one point we both decided the heck with giving up and divorcing, let's work it out. It...

    Feedback wanted on how to approach someone

    Facebook does make it easier. I connected with a guy friend that I have had a crush on since college (many years) but we were always just 'friends' and were in relationships with others whenever the other would be free. Timing was never on our side. Well, it still isn't. We connected through...

    Secondary and I think that's okay

    I bought a 3 pack last night just to be prepared. :) Quite odd standing there in the aisle of Rite Aid and wondering which to get. Then having two guys walk by at different times. I wanted to grab one by the arm and say "hey, what do you prefer?". :D And to have fun, I am also on an online...

    Are these good profiles?

    Just my opinion. The third profile is really one that I would be just clicking away from - And if I already have kids from a previous relationship? that's it. I'm outta here. You don't want them, and it reads like you don't want them in your life at all. And the rest...bad is good, good is...

    Are these good profiles?

    My first impression is that they are waaaay too long. Editing - not just for grammar and spelling, but also to cut it down in size. Think of it this way, do people really want to read all that or will they end up skimming and missing something really important.

    Secondary and I think that's okay

    Yeah, I am going with the taking turns for dinner and such - first date he made dinner, then I made dinner, then he made it for the process meeting and I am taking him out a fave place of mine tomorrow (it's not expensive but really good food).
