I just slept for several hours. I am restless and anxious, but otherwise okay.

Definitely, and @Galagirl, you're right. I slept a lot today, and sent my uncle to sit with Grandpa. I am exhausted from all of this.

My landlord is on his way to re-key my door - FOR FREE! I feel like a very lucky girl right now. I got out of the situation, that is what is important.

You aren't being lecturey, I understand what you are saying. She is in therapy, but she is on SUCH a high horse about it. She is constantly saying things like "everyone deserves a chance," and she believes in the so-called "friend zone," and acts like anyone who walks away from her for any...

Thank you, Galagirl. You always are so clear and helpful. I do try, as a community activist, not to engage in behavior that might harm other members of the community. But sometimes it gets hard to protect myself. This is all hypothetical right now, anyway. I have a lot going on and just broke...

I really like this answer. And I have been trying to examine things. I think it just might be one of my plain old no-go zones. There are plenty of men in my life, and those who are public figures, or whatever, whom I deeply enjoy and admire AS PEOPLE. But sexually? It is like a JUST NO-type...

If a partner has a partner with a penis, I'm okay. What I am talking about is like, quads, triads, etc., with dudes. Generally, my partners and I are friends (at the very least) with each others' partners. Therefore, there is the risk of that sort of thing; I have gotten involved with partners'...

Thank you for this response. This is a fair way to look at it. There are many men in my life who I Admire greatly. But I do not, under any circumstances, want to engage with a man in any partner type situation, no matter said situation.

I am not sure how this post helped you see things better on your ex, but I am glad it did! I hope things are going okay for you. The only silver lining here is that I have absolutely no romantic or sexual feelings toward this woman anymore. If I am honest with myself, I haven't in quite some...

Hi all, Was just having a discussion with a friend who also a polyamorous lesbian. We were just shooting the breeze and having middle of the night cocktails, discussing my recent break-up, and we got on the subject of lesbian poly relationships. Now, it is, by and large, frowned upon when...

Melly, It seems that your friend may be involved with a segment of Christianity - and with a wife - that are simply incompatible with who he is as a person. Honestly, there is no easy answer here. His wife will go berserk when he tells her. So will his church people. Now, to be frank, as...

Yes, Break Up. Stat. I actually literally JUST broke up with a monogamous woman I was dating. As other posters have said, mono/poly set ups CAN work, but they are extremely difficult. It actually sounds like the very idea of polyamory repulses you, so there's no way you'll ever even really...

Thank you for this. I think changing the locks might be a good idea. I don't trust that she won't copy the key or something before giving it back anyway. That is actually a good idea, thanks. And no, it's not fun to break up, I just really wanted to give her a chance. She turned out to be...

So, I have not been here in awhile. I had finals, and a lot of other stuff going on. Anyway, I had posted about dating a mono woman who had said she accepted my being poly and we were working on it. BIG MISTAKE. She was toxic in a lot of ways. It all came out a couple of weeks ago, when my...

Thanks for this. I'm not a place to be able to run anything myself, but I'll definitely check that group out.

I'm sorry you feel that way. As a lesbian, I will not speak to your experiences. My current gf is bisexual, and she is the head of an LGBTQ org...so, not all LGBTQ spaces are like that, jsyk. I don't think that would happen here, at any rate. I've seen far more bisexual people than gay people...

Ahh, okay. I have, in the past, labeled myself that, to avoid having people believing I am looking for a primary, or, in some instances, that they WERE my primary. I kind of define it as - "I am my own primary partner."

It's really just a curiosity as to how the forum feels. There's only been once, in the couple years I've been active here off and on, where I've felt that straight splaining was a thing...but just in society at large, we face challenges that are unique to us, that straight people, be they poly...

Thank you! How do I search tags? And for that matter, how do I tag users in replies? Thanks again!

So, I was just wondering what people here thought of solo polyamory, if anyone practiced it/had practiced it, and, if so, what form does it take for you? Until my current rather new set up, I was solo poly. I had four very casual girlfriends. One,, we'll call her K, I was closer to than the...
