Agreed. I much prefer the terms as levels of practical entanglements. I love hubby and boyfriend, and am committed to them both. But boyfriend has his own wife and kid, and hubby's girlfriend has her own husband. We are secondaries to the responsibilities that come with having shared households...

Runic Wolf is Type II Bipolar. He's poly. The only effect that I really see is when he perceives that things are going poorly in a relationship, he gets really depressed or when he's going through a deep depressive cycle, he often worries about losing his relationships. When things are going...

I would advise you to stay out of his relationship with his wife, whatever form it might take. It's not your place, even if you are co-primaries. Treat them as separate relationships. Only comment on events or behaviors that affect your relationship with him. Ask him to refrain from talking...

Ari - I was hoping you'd post on this since you've recently experienced being poly with a new baby. Maybe you can give the OP some inside to how pregnancy and multiple partners worked in your family?

I agree. His mother has no place telling you that you should let the relationship go just because his other girlfriend is pregnant. You should definitely let your boyfriend know is mom was meddling. You guys just got a house and moved in together, so obviously things were going well. You love...

Actually - I haven't seen my boyfriend for more than 2 hours since before Christmas. Don't assume. No one is telling her to leave her husband for the new guy. We're just saying that if she feels that she can't put herself back in the box he wants her in or go back to the person he thought she...

friskyone4u - It sounds like you are projecting onto the OP and assuming that she'd just leave her kids and country for her boyfriend. As sexist as it sounds, most countries will give custody to the mother regardless of who's fault a divorce is. I have witnessed this many times with friend's...

I don't see how she can't be a responsible mother AND be poly. Many of us do that every day. For many of us, discovering the side of ourselves that is capable of loving others is life changing. You can't put the genie back in the bottle, no matter how hard you try. Suggesting that someone stop...

When it came down to the wire, both my boyfriend and I needed to do a couple of shots before we took the plunge into acting on our desires. We'd been talking about it, negotiating what we wanted from each other at the time (that has obviously changed over the last 4.5 years, but initially we...

He started another relationship before they had a chance to make any agreements based on the OP. It's not that he broke any rules, he just jumped off the cliff w/o talking to the OP about her wants and needs and how to ensure that those were still getting met before getting into a new...

You can forgive her, possible move towards a friendship with her, but do not get back together with her. She is mentally unstable, borderline obsessed. She made keys to your apartment (change the locks if you haven't already, don't just trust that she gave them back). She talked about sabotaging...

Show her this thread for one. Explain that you are/ were feeling blind sided and wanted to learn more about poly so you found this website. She's welcome to make a profile and ask advice as well, but most people would agree that being newly weds is NOT the time to start poly, especially when you...

It is not healthy for you or your wife to attempt poly at this point. I would recommend that you both see a counselor and she see her doctor because it's likely that she is suffering emotionally from the loss of your child. I her state, she may not want to listen to you or your needs. Which is...

My mother always wanted lots of kids because she was an only child (her parents miscarried twice before she was born and divorced when she was 4). She had 4 and now had 2 step children. Growing up, I wanted kids. I didn't have the perfect family, my mom and dad were prevented from getting...

None of my breakups with Wendigo (boyfriend) were due to 3rd party jealousy. Each was due to specific circumstances requiring us to take a step back. The first was when we were a newly formed quad, as a couple he and his wife decided that before we could go any further, they wanted to ensure...

He may not have spelled it wrong; parents are intentionally spelling it differently and have been for the last 20 years. I even know a Michelle who's parents spelled it Michele. I know one Michael who spelled it Mykel. Still up to you who you date or block, but don't automatically assume they...

I work with many people who choose to give up with SSDI or even their SSI for the chance to work. I have never encountered one who had difficult maintaining their job due to prejudice. My job is to provide assistance to these individuals in learning and maintaining their jobs. 99% of the time...

SSI VS SSDI SSDI is an earned benefit that focuses on physical and mental impairments that are severe enough to prevent people from engaging in their normal occupations or any other work. Their impairment must be expected to last for at least 12 months or to end in death. SSDI benefits can be...

Also, my friends had their baby, she's 6 now and while she is getting some services, is very independent. However, my friend now understand's the risks and while he wants more children, he wants to make sure that they are born safely and that child birth doesn't put either mom or baby at risk...
