    Condoms and such

    Possible compromise? Iuno. There is a LOT of information left out and I don't know about anyone else in the room, but something smells fucky to me about this whole scenario. I can't put my finger on it, but something is....off. Iuno. I am probably tired and need to go to bed. :P

    Condoms and such

    And not only that, depending on the state, BOTH the husband and the BF may be on the hook for child support. And the husband still may have a devil of a time trying to get out of paying child support for a child that is not biologically his. I agree with @dingedheart. How long ago were these...

    Hello - not sure what I am hoping to achieve by being here - maybe just catharsis?

    And honestly, sometimes that is really the best outcome and I hate saying that out loud. Should you need someone to vent to, please feel free to PM me. I have friends that are going through similar and I am always happy to lend an ear. I wish you peace in your journey. This is not an easy thing...

    My partner wants to be poly during temporary long distance

    Hi, and welcome to the board! :) Speaking for myself and no one else in the room, in my case, no, it is not a switch that can be flipped. It is what it is. And, also strictly speaking form myself and no one else in the room, I have also noticed that a LOT of things seem temporary until that...

    I'm desperate to discuss this video on poly with other poly people -- it's the most incredible argument for poly I've ever seen (feminist angle)

    Actually, Scotch Broom has a few medicinal uses: http://www.naturalmedicinalherbs.net/herbs/c/cytisus-scoparius=broom.php

    Let me PM you so as not to throw the topic off any more :)

    Has anyone dealt with ASSumers?

    If it makes you feel any better, I have dated a ton in my former life and I am still like this. I really, really dislike that extraordinarily awkward phase of not knowing how to express that, thinking about the possible rejection (keeping in mind the whole "for every action, there is an equal...

    Has anyone dealt with ASSumers?

    Probably. I am old so therefore this mindset is a bit bizarre to me. I was once talking to a dude who wound up complaining that I "didn't respond fast enough" when he sent me an IM. Like, dude, I was elbow deep in Thanksgiving prep at the time, at work, in meetings, whatever it was at the time...

    Has anyone dealt with ASSumers?

    Not speaking for anyone else in the room, but I had this more than once when I was just single and dating merrily away. I never understood how someone could not imagine that a person would have a ton of stuff going on at any one time (work, school, family, friends, etc). I swear, some of these...

    Has anyone dealt with ASSumers?

    Others have weighed in, so now it is my turn. IMO, actions speak louder than words. So the individual taking umbrage with OP because she did not respond as quickly and in the manner of HIS choosing, not HERS, let's at least me know that the guy is no good. If s/he is like this at the very...

    Starting relationships as a newly Poly/ENM straight married man

    Oh, it really is a LOT of fun! It can be a little awkward at first but once you get into it, you will find yourself up at 4 AM in the middle of a campaign and there is no end in sight. 😂

    To understand why people avoid you

    No, you are deliberately attempting to pick a fight by implying that I said something disparaging to @AlwaysGrowing and that is simply NOT the case. Miss me with that.

    Partner's sex ethics with others

    No, no OP really cannot. Friends don't do things like this to other friends. Not if they want to keep them, they sure as hell don't.

    To understand why people avoid you

    I grew up strictly East Coast and we do the same. So, I am not too entirely certain what she means by her post, but I don't appreciate the tone of it.

    Starting relationships as a newly Poly/ENM straight married man

    Well, if you need help, feel free to gimme a shout. DH and I have been slowly getting back into it again. We're more than a little rusty, so it's pretty much like starting over really. :)

    Starting relationships as a newly Poly/ENM straight married man

    I can testify to the board game thing. And if you're into it, D&D is where it is at. :)

    Partner's sex ethics with others

    Please listen to what @GalaGirl and @icesong are telling you. In no way is Emma being even remotely ethical in any bit of this scenario.
