    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    Holy shit, you two! Simmer down. I do appreciate both of your inputs and maybe I'm misinterpreting some playful banter but it seems like you're going at each other a little hard. Look. Magdlyn: The housing market out here is a nightmare. Also I move every three years or so for work so just...

    mono/poly relationship

    I don't know about your husband, but for me the hardest part was feeling like I've been replaced and don't matter anymore. Watching some other guy laugh and giggle and have inside jokes with her like we used to. Watching this after all the work we've put into our relationship but having our...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    I've been having a hard time with things this week. I feel very lonely. Spitfire's here but I feel so disconnected from her. Talking about how I feel only seems to spark an argument. She says the COVID stress and isolation are getting to me and she's probably right. All the stress only compounds...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    No, his wife's not here when he comes over. But she wasn't ready to include us in their COVID bubble so when he came over he was always wear a mask and we would put our masks on if we were in the same room. Until recently, he and Spitfire would only hang out in the garage. It was a big enough...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    So things have been good. We've had our ups and downs but, ultimately we're doing fairly well. Spitfire and I still love each other very much. A lot of the intense feelings have started to die down and we're pretty comfortable. I'm still seeing Jason. It's difficult because of the crisis...

    open relationship jealousy with new alpha

    It sounds like she fed you a load of bullshit and wasn't super committed to keeping the truth from you. That might be a good thing. Also kind of sounds like she tanked your weekend with your girlfriend because she had "maybe" plans with the squirtmeister. Squirtmeister sounds like a total...

    Monogam-ish/Sexually Open Relationship

    Probably a good idea to avoid another situation like that. I appreciate you taking the time to answer!

    New and struggling

    Just a note about the dating apps: Paid for OKCupid for a month or two. Not really worth it. Also as a free service it's been kind of garbage. My wife's had a bit more luck with it than I have but everyone loves a good vagina, or so I'm told lol. Switched to Tinder and paid for a month on...

    Monogam-ish/Sexually Open Relationship

    Sorry to hear that this took a turn for the worse but, on the flip side, there's a whole new world open to you. Taking what you've learned about yourself from this situation, would you say that you're in a better position to wade back out into the dating world or a worse one? You've got the...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    Good point. I need to just see where it goes. Jason and I have been talking and what not for about a month and some change now. We've got a lot in common so far. Plus he's a hell of a sweet guy. I need to stop over thinking and just enjoy the ride.

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    Spent the night with Jason. A lot of my anxiety and jealousy about Spitfire kind of melted away after that. I feel pretty good about it and she seems to be handling it real well. I've reached a point where I want her to find the same kind of happiness that I found with Jason. I'm worrying I'm...

    Why do you use the online name that you use?

    I would think of this picture every time I would try and asses my feelings. I was shattered and hurt. I was broken.

    New and Scared

    Hey Max, This shit's rough. You're going to hit this wall where you're going to have to decide if this is worth it. Then you're going to hit it again, and again, and again. I've only been at this since April and I still hit that wall some days. My answer to that question is yes but, everyone's...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    Yeah, my college living situation tended to always be a shit show. Spitfire doesn't really go for the whole banging thing unless she's really into a guy. She's demisexual. Any dude that'd be staying the night in my house would have a deep emotional attachment to her. It's been a rough way to...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    No, no guest rooms. Besides, my house is my home. I don't really want to have some guy in my house who's just there to bang my wife. It may stem from being one of eight roomates living in a one bedroom apartment, but I am incredibly territorial about my home. Any sort of lifestyle like that is a...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    So things have been going fairly well. Spitfire and I have decided to ask fewer questions about each other's dates. I find it helps me out immensely. One came over last night for dinner and then they went to go hang out. I'll call him Riker. Seems like he's got a good chance to be around for a...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    Back to not being able to sleep. Spitfire is camping with a friend and I'm just awake and stewing. I kept myself busy painting all night but then when I went to bed everything just hit me. So we decided to stick with it. The plan to move forward is find a woman we can date together and see if...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    Had Barry and his wife over last night. They were wonderful company! We talked and played games and I cooked a dinner that everyone seemed to enjoy. In my opinion the caprese kind of sucked (mozzarella will never be the same after 3 years in Italy) but the rest was a fairly tasty meal. It was...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    So yeah, shit's been going on pretty steadily. Went out with a guy from Tinder. Went a little further than I wish it had. The dude definitely was not as hot as he was in his Tinder profile so I'm getting the feeling that may be the norm on there. We met up and chatted for a few hours. Things...

    Mono Couple becomes Poly Couple

    Met a couple of guys on Tinder. One is in a poly relationship but seems to have some emotional baggage attached. Figure I'll look into that more. Another guy, fucking hot, is down to meet up and get to know one another. Seems pretty promising. The last guy seemed into it and decided he wasn't up...
