Okay. It makes a bit of a difference, given our culture, but relationships are relationships, no matter the gender. If you're going to go to the trouble and expense to do that, you want to make sure you are both on the same page, as far as relationship form, and what kind of parenting you want...

Okay. That's awkward, but doable. Just having your own bedroom can make a big difference, so I hope you can do that, at least. Do you have a friend or family member nearby whom you could visit for a couple weeks just to clear your head, perhaps? Believe me, that would help a lot.

He said, if he has to, he is willing to give her intercourse, seemingly one orgasm per session, once or twice a week. This does not sound very enthusiastic to me, but more like his "husbandly duty," or a pity fuck. Again, he can correct me if I'm wrong. No wonder she feels undesirable and...

I'm glad you're here. This isn't really a "polyamory" topic, per se, but a sad commentary on the state of how people are meeting their sexual needs these days. Let me speculate a bit. You can tell me if I get it right (if you come back to your thread). You and wife got together. It was good at...

The early part of a relationship, from about three months in to two years in, is called infatuation or "new relationship energy" time. You are attracted to someone, there is a great hormonal rush, you see them through rose-colored glasses. After a while, those glasses come off and you start to...

Hi lastpotatofarmer, Would you please go back to your OP and add some paragraph breaks? It's hard to read a wall of text. You have 24 hours to edit. Thanks.

This sounds like a dating ad, so I am moving it to our Dating and Friendships forum.

I'm glad you took firm hold of your dignity and left. Stay gone. It would be very helpful to tell her you're going "no contact" for 40 days. This really helps a lot! You need to clear your head. She's been very rude and manipulative. Block her phone number, block her on all social media...

Hi and welcome! Before I comment in detail, I highly suggest you head on over to our Golden Nuggets section, where we have links to poly resources, many great articles, books, a podcast, movies, and also to older consolidated threads on here, defined by topic. Most people start with the books...

Hi and welcome, So you're a guy living in North Carolina, in a relationship with a woman for 4 years, polyamorous for 2. Your gf has another bf, but you're not seeing anyone else at the moment. It is harder for men to meet women, because women have to be cautious dating because of men being...

Here is a short article with graphs to show why the "polymath" of a V is simpler than that of a triad: https://www.readyforpolyamory.com/post/triad-or-v-what-s-more-complicated It's written to help people who were in a long term couple relationship, who both then come to date the third person...

Hi. Mind if I translate for our members who might have English as a second language? Correct me if I have anything wrong. Aromantic, asexual... I don't know what "spec" means. That is, some or all of your partners are queer in some ways, and you don't have sex or romance, but do feel more...

Okay, you are a free agent and can do what you want as far as who and when you date, while being respectful of your dating partners, of course. I would say there are many different variables that could affect how spontaneous your dating can or should be. So you are in NRE with one new person...

You're welcome. I am glad you'll be seeking more information about ethical non-monogamy, in all its forms, and how it works. Okay. More of a swinging thing. There are things swingers do to prevent emotions from developing. Your wife probably didn't do those things, and here we are. Yes, it...

Hi and welcome, You will find that requiring a new partner of one member of a long-term couple to agree to having sex with that person's partner as the "price of admission" to date them is not usually acceptable to anyone. What your wife seems to want is polyamory, the ability to love and date...

I would also recommend you read this article and share it with Mary and John: https://www.kathylabriola.com/articles/are-you-in-poly-hell

Just because you brought up the idea of group sex or polyamory doesn't mean you have to consent to everything the other two want to do, whole hog, no questions asked, no individual tastes or desires allowed. This all needs to be negotiated openly and honestly between the three of you. The...

I hope it helped you to write all that out. Sometimes we have thoughts rolling around in our heads, and just seeing them typed out can make us feel better, more organized, more in control, better able to make healthy choices. The situation is pretty simple. The emotions are hard to feel, but...
