    Coming together and falling apart

    Wow, thank you so much for your response. It means a lot to me. I’m actually 31, and the youngest of the bunch, so hopefully my doctor will be willing to help me out with the vaccine series (even if I have to pay for it). The precancerous cells are in an area that would not be completely...

    Coming together and falling apart

    Thank you so much for responding, GalaGirl, you really do give some of the best advice. I was really hoping you’d find this post. Chase consented to poly, took it back, and consented again. I do think he’s made an actual effort this time around (he’s been trying, awkwardly, to flirt with...

    Coming together and falling apart

    We're all mid-30s and early-40s, so the vaccine is not an option for us. I understand how common it is. I don't think I am afraid of it as Isaac seems to think I am (he's surprised I haven't gone running, screaming), but I do worry about what bringing it up to Chase and Martin will mean.

    Coming together and falling apart

    He hasn't been putting limits on me, though. He's been fairly supportive of my polyamorous relationships (I've been seeing Martin for about a year now, alongside Chase), even if he doesn't understand the appeal entirely. He's always had these esteem and confidence issues and he's tried his...

    Coming together and falling apart

    Any advice for dealing with the Chase issue, then? Do you think I should just turn Isaac away in the interim? Because I'd rather not. I honestly feel the happiest around him at this point.

    Coming together and falling apart

    Part II Martin and I are in a fairly decent place. We’ve been seeing each other more, and not always to have sex, which I think has been a big benefit for us. For a while he had struggled with the idea that we were a purely sexual relationship, and that if that was taken away we would have...

    Coming together and falling apart

    When I last wrote, I was dealing with feelings of loneliness and serious depression about my relationship situation, mostly because it felt like the three “branches” of my polyamorous relationship were all failing to show me support in one way or another. I’m in a different place now and...

    Dealing with feelings of emptiness

    Wow, thank you for your awesome response. I think you really hit the nail on the head, there... I am sad and I wish any of them could comfort me. I think back to this past summer, when things felt absolutely amazing to me. I spent 4-5 nights a week with Chase (we live together), and then I...

    Dealing with feelings of emptiness

    Thank you for the suggestion, I might do just that. Hopefully just getting things down instead of locking them up will help.

    Dealing with feelings of emptiness

    I forgot to mention, but I've since told him that I loved him. His response to that was that he already knew.

    Dealing with feelings of emptiness

    Hello. I am struggling with some serious anxiety and depression right now, and I am wondering what sorts of things you do to cope with it? About me - I am a writer and my mid-30s, and I've been in a polyamorous relationship for about almost two years. When I first came out to my boyfriend...

    Poly cheated on

    Thanks everyone, for giving me a place to vent. As I said, I am no longer with him, I just needed a place to get all of that bad energy out. I've since found out that the number of women he slept with without telling me is twelve... significantly higher than I first thought. It makes my...

    Poly cheated on

    I'm not normally someone that would post on a forum, but I needed somewhere safe to vent. A few months ago, I started a poly relationship with a guy... we'll call him A. We were both new to poly, and I had been the one to bring it up, because I felt it was the right choice for me and...
