Heh, love that the clue rhymes too. Book rook? I don’t think rooks are nocturnal, but that’s the first thought to come out my butt

Hey, this isn’t the riddle corner. Did you not read the rules?

Well done, T.V.! Your turn!

How’d you know?! Haha, I was experiencing some technical difficulties during posting. Whoops! Thanks for the catch.

As Seen on Tin Now, I’m less of a fan of Buzzfeed’s listacle aggregations of other websites’ content masquerading as “journalism” than most, so don’t shoot the messenger. Buzzfeed’s pretty big platform, so this article might be the most exposure to real life poly stuff a lot of people ever see...

I’m so glad you came here, because while your issues have nothing to do with polyamory, we are a community dedicated to healthy relationships in whatever form they may come in and we value honesty, respect, and consent above all. Your partner is not acting with integrity in their dealings with...

Lone stone?

Sole mole?

Darn tootin’

The Rhyming Police would like a word, but a win is a win. A prohibition on metal containers!

I neglected to reiterate what you already arrived at, namely that people with BPD struggle with relationships across the board, even with monogamous partners. Being able to recognize where you are clearly not “the problem” (for lack of a more accurate/diplomatic term) is the most important thing...

Welcome! Hope you find what you need here. Sounds like you’re in a pretty good place in terms what what you want your life to look like, so I’m sure you’ll have no problem navigating the inherent struggles that come from complex, interpersonal relationships. Especially with a little help from...

Borderline Personality Disorder is insanely treatment resistant and is one of the few mental health issues that regularly get passed on to kids because of how it integrates into personality and worldview. My ex-mother-in-law has it, my ex inherited a slew of similar traits and it… well, I never...

Sounds like a lot of fear of what could go wrong. The bomb is dropped, but nothing has changed and now you both can take all the time you need to discuss your wants and needs and figure out a solution that everyone can be comfortable with! Fight fear with information and communication. His fear...

Sounds like you’ve got a bit of burnout from trying to carry this all on your own. Do you have a good emotional support system outside of your partner? Friends, family, therapist? This is a lot to deal with. The only way to hold anyone accountable is to be willing to go through with the...

There is no relationship structure that is inherently immune to jealousy. You will absolutely still have jealousy issues in a triad. Jealousy needs to be worked through, not avoided because that’s just a silly expectation. You said “the issue is that there isn't really a lot of time for them to...

I have questions. What’s the time pressure coming from? I feel like you have all the time in the world to let the relationships (honestly, both of them) develop naturally without trying to force things to progress artificially because that would fit into your preferred timeline better. There...

I think they’re just pointing out that you might not find what you’re looking for HERE. Polygamy traditionally involves marriage to multiple spouses and vows of fidelity within that arrangement, whereas polyamory is a very broad umbrella of relationship philosophies. Unfortunately, despite the...

Precisely my experience as well. I only ever dated someone under 20 (I was nearly 30) and found the difference in both emotional maturity and lived experience to be too big of a gap to overcome. I don’t think I’d ever dismiss someone ONLY for their age, but I’ve been an old, bitter soul for a...

Two questions! 1) I simply cannot fathom a 19yo having the emotional intelligence and maturity for such an arrangement, but maybe they’re making people different these days. Does the difference in lived experience not exacerbate pre-existing differences in perspective, patience, etc? 2) As a...
