Thanks for that. would you believe I make spare $$ writing at times. LOL. All art and no rules. But the rules are important, I'm sure ;)

This is an interesting topic. The image of polyamory. I for one would love to see public understanding and acceptance of polyamory for my partners sake. Some folks just don't need the judgement. I do not know how other poly folk feel, but she feels a certain stigma attached to who she is. A...

Thank you everyone your input is all regarded most warmly. Another confused. Great post. I know she might not be my life partner, but the friendship will never end we have come so far, and are so in tune now. We argue, but these get resolved. I am very happy with things right now, there is no...

Hey no problem lovefromgirl. I was in a hurry this morning so my answer was a bit short. I am an ecologist. My girl is an ecologist. The sentence that bothers you is describing a mask, not the girl I know. When we met she would go off on angry ranting tangents a lot. Today we discuss issues...

Err - we are both adults at university. As for her finding herself - she believed she was flawed, fucked up, a horrible person, you think I did her no favors? I will consider what you say, but with the assumption we are both young, I wonder how many other assumptions are in your post. My world...

Hi Amanda I am relatively new to all this polyamory stuff and am on this forum seeking knowledge as I am a monogamous man who has fallen in love with a polyamorous girl. There's been an awful lot of confusion and pain for us, partly by pretending to myself I could change her, partly by her not...

Hi Kevin. Thanks for the reply. I have had 'the talk' with M and things are going much better now. I have a thread 'Mono man and his jealousy' in the General discussions forum if you're keen on finding out how it went.

Thanks Phy. We were out last night and I had the green eyed monster jealousy playing in my head. Some young guy hanging around, her (as host) greeting men. Fears that other flings were going on. Fears that she is somehow juggling everything I know - and managing a third secret life - so...

Hi Red Pepper, thanks for the welcome. And the advice. I read polyamory stuff on jealousy early to identify core issues to adress in myself. I will be reading what I can find here for sure. Baby steps, we can heal, grow, and do what we're here for, love.

Hi AC, thanks for the support. It is a little bittersweet for now for me, but the bitter is due to fear. Love is the polar opposite of fear. As a mono I fear that polyamory means 'not really loving' - which is nonsense. This is where TEA helps. Get that book (Been There, Done That, Do This -...

Hi I have only just had my first serious poly talk with my partner of 18 months (more on that later). I am mono (I think) and though she has alluded to poly I kept stuffing my fingers in my ears and pretending it wasn't happening as I was completely smitten, and am mono. I thought I'd be such a...

Hi. I am not sure of anything lately in my relationship. Perhaps you folk can help me understand us a bit better. This post is a long time coming, so might turn into an epic. Not sure what's about to come out, but I sure need to get it out. As a young man I drank too much and cheated on...
