Hi, and welcome! I, too, was looking for community when I stumbled upon this site. The members so far have been very welcoming and are all full of information! I’d suggest looking through the Golden Nuggets link to start. I’m new, too, but I’ve really been enjoying clicking on all the links...

I’m still learning lingo, and just finished working out so my brain isn’t very good at thinking at the moment. What are stars in this context? That’s a new one for me, and could you also further explain garden party? My guess is it means everyone is friendly and happy to share space together...

Hey guys. I’m curious about everyone’s poly styles/preferences. I’ve learned that while there is a generalized format, there’s always more to each story. So, what does YOUR poly look like? For us, I’d say I’m more ENM leaning, and partner is, too. When we met, though, he had an established...

I’ve dealt with similar feelings while also feeling guilty for feeling them. Something my therapist brought up that’s been helpful to consider is, “when I feel these feelings, what, in our relationship, am I not feeling fulfilled by?” It’s important to ensure your partner’s needs inside of your...

I’m glad we both found a space we feel comfortable in. I hope we are both able to learn and grow here

First I’d like to note that Cori is a play on a play of an alter ego I came up with many moons ago. It was a joke I shared with Ess, my first real life experience/partner I had outside of a nesting partner. I mentioned him in my introduction here: Thread 'Hello, I’m here for community!'...

Hi and thank you for the well wishes! I am currently in therapy! Partner and I are also very good at communicating, though we still have things to work on. Thankfully when we address our concerns we both listen with open ears and validate. We also usually find some kind of resolution or new...

Thank you for the resources and the nice welcome! I’ll definitely be perusing alllll the links over the next few days!

Hi Evie, thank you for the kind reply and warm welcome! I think it will. Having more connection to others like us feels like the right move for me right now. I’m sure over time I’ll share more. For now it feels good just to be here :)

Hi! I appreciate your post because I have some similar feelings regarding my partner’s extra relationship. Thank you for posting, it helps me too. Seeing other responses and thought processes is nice and feels useful. I hope we are both able to learn and grow here ❤️

Hi there! My name isn’t Cori, but you can call me that for now. I (36 F) am in a very loving and stable relationship with my partner (45 M) of nigh on three years. We live together and started out as poly/enm. While the extracurriculars I had fell off very quickly, his two partners (a married...
