Brief background: I haven't been here in ages and it's been a crazy time for me. Long story short, I've had so much opportunity for personal growth and have been working really hard on correcting all the bad habits learnt over a life time of monogamous and ultra religious programming that left...

Last weekend my girlfriend proposed to her partner of 8 years (he is also in a newly developing relationship with me). I am totally thrilled for them... but I found it really tricky to share my excitement with the majority of my friends (those that know of my relationships thought it so odd that...

Is it possible to be solo in theory and in say a triad or part of another poly configuration? And yes i am totally aware that this seems more about labels and fitting what may be into explicable terms, but I'd love to discuss the solo poly idea in more detail. Any other information that may...

For those with young kids in the house, how do you find space to be openly relaxed with partners (other than your primary)? It's fine waiting for kids to fall asleep, but proving an interesting problem solving requirement as to how we could find space to just be together. Any ideas and...

Yes, I'm totally new to this, just starting out into my first poly connection. what an incredible way to start a relationship! Discussion, friendship, communication and knowing that both our other partners know (and accept) that we are together made/makes it so much better! Even seeing her...

So my poly life seems to be starting up in earnest now. I've been on a couple of dates with people I met online... My question is: Is it normal to contemplate relationships with good friends who are supportive of my poly lifestyle choice? Both those who identify as actually poly and those...

After another intense email exchange with Wonder Woman, I am feeling I have more closure of sorts... Or at least, more understanding of her decision. And so it triggered a discussion with Rock about me specifically starting to look for an opportunity to explore my attraction to women. He...

Today I had a lovely talk with Rock. I thanked him for his acceptance of all the major things I've thrown at him in the last 4 months, for his kindness and support during the breakdown of my relationship with Wonder Woman. He has been lightly teasing about her, saying he hopes it works out...

After a painful, or any breakup... How can I tell if feelings of attraction for others is a rebound response, my latent curiosity going "no more waiting" or something real? My attraction for Wonder Woman snuck up on me, I didn't see it coming. I have no idea what I'm doing and if what I'm...

I'm curious as to whether or not people identified as poly are able to get over a failed relationship sooner than mono people... Or if not get over entirely, at least be able to move on, or consider moving on. My thoughts would be that because I can understand that anyone else in a...

My mono husband is trying really hard to accept my ideas on poly relationships. Sunday night I spent the evening with a close girlfriend, who I have been chatting to about my evolving fluidity and my ideas on poly. She has mostly been supportive although I got the feeling that she was also...

I'm ready to tell more of my story. After reading many of the threads and stories here, I feel I'm in the right place to talk this through and hopefully find some kind of answers or at least the ability to feel less sad/angry/annoyed/ hopeful in a continual loop. I've lived my entire life...

A question for partners who identify as monogamous, or for those with partners who are either monogamous with you or still figuring out what Poly means to them... How long did/does it take you to understand and accept your partner's poly identity? Is there a process to the acceptance? Is there...

I'm a married mom (3 children). I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, music in all forms and spending time with friends/family. I have a *slight* obsession with chocolate (hahaha). In the past few months I've experienced an awakening of self, which was a long time in coming. I spent most of...
