*waves* Hiya! Welcome!

I have seen those. Most of them look like spam usernames,

That is what I have felt works best with me and the partners that I have had, yes. This is not a hard limit, though.

Greg, This should be good.... How is what she talked about not open, honest and loving? Both of her partners know what is going on, and bless it, and she says that he is in love with both of them. I disagree completely. She may have come at this from the swing approach but it has evolved into...

Excellent to hear! I agree, not something to be taken lightly when it comes to matters of the heart. Glad you have talked this through. Hope you find what you seek.

Yeah, not the way it works around here. People are free to spout whatever wisdom/idiocy they wish for as long as they wish, whether they are wise, hypocritical or talk like slave-owners.

Thanks for coming back and giving an update! :) Believe me, I know how hard it is to be patient when there is something like this going on - been there, bought the t-shirt. But the adage of going at the speed at which everyone is comfortable is really, really important if you are going to try...

trystann, welcome to the forum. Nothing wrong with having lots of questions - I hope that the good folks here can help you find the answers you seek!

If you are in love with more than one person, and can imagine yourself happy in a relationship with them both at the same time, and want this to be honest and transparent for all involved, then yes, you are poly. Poly can very easily mean a specific situation with specific people involved. But...

For me, each person involved has their own boundaries, and have every right to them. When any combination get together and try to have a relationship, it's important that each of those boundaries be explored, and a decision made as to whether there are any conflicts and whether these boundaries...

Cool that the two of you have talked at such length - so many couples don't, and make assumptions which prove to be wrong. If I may ask more of the questions so typical in sorting out what poly means... It looks like each of you will be having your own relationships. Is it more for sexual fun...

You deserve to be happy. You deserve to have people around who love you and care for you. You deserve to be free from drama in your relationships, so that you can use them as a foundation for your own growth. You deserve to have people close to you who you can trust and rely on. I'm not...

Welcome to the forum, ManyNorth! I think that I have seen a few Alaskans posting here - I am certain they will come out of the woodwork, if there are still around. So are you currently single? If not, how have the discussions with your partner gone as far as polyamory is concerned?

Welcome to the forum, polywife! So have the two of your worked out what sort of polyamory you are interested in? Everybody does it differently, and the spectrum is quite broad.

I believe that there really is a time and a place for everything. I don't think that it's confined to poly, but I think that we have allowed the Smartphone to start ruling our lives wayyy too much. While I *love* my Smartphone, I do not have to have it with me every second of every day. When...

Congrats BD! I'm sure that makes for some more stability in your life. Do you get better benefits too?

Actually, I wasn't including lovefromgirl in my count, since she knew all about poly when I met her, even though she hadn't had a poly relationship at that time. I was referring to people who were utterly unfamiliar with the concept when I met them. To answer your questions: 1. I met one in...

Welcome to the forum! Knowing what you want, and being open and honest with each other about it before "diving in with both feet" is a very wise move, in my opinion. Sounds like you are approaching this very well. I think that you won't have too much problem finding guys that are interested...

Welcome to the forum! I always like to hear about folks that have decided that they have standards and stick to them, even if it means staying single or celibate. Why waste time on folks that aren't ever going to amount to anything in a relationship with you? It sometimes seems like there are...

Slavery has been abolished in every civilized country in the world. It is illegal (as well as immoral) for anybody to own anybody. The sooner some people face up to the reality of that, the better.
