Life is a challenge. How you approach it, process it, and conquer it is what makes one person's experience different from the other. I'm glad that you guys are exploring. Do you think you will ever be interested in switching from a mono? Just curious. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. There is plenty of good information, experiences, and people floating around here. Enjoy your journey

Isn't that a wonderful feeling? *cute* Welcome to the forum.

The "Institute" I used to consider getting married and have actually been engaged to be married four times. Those marriages never came to pass and I am not sorry. I've never wore the 'traditional' costume very well and, though, I loved these men immensely, and could probably be the traditional...

My Crazy Week After my heart was eased on Monday, Tuesday was a good day. Wednesday was a good day but I was a little disappointed in myself Wednesday evening when I let the minglings of my evening spill over into my quality time with my love. The time was still well spent though and we got in...

Whenever you have the time, you can skim through my in-depth post of the situation in the New to Polyamory section entitled Not Feeling the Connectivity and my recent updates in the Life Stories/Blogs section on my Forever Eklctc thread. Saves on the recap. :D My situation was supposed to be...

I just want to thank everyone for a great thread. Now that I've gone from girlfriend to metamour in my poly triad relationship, I'm sure we will encounter this and much more.

Dancing around the kitchen sounds really fun. I completely understand what you are saying about comfort levels. It's a gradual thing but, hopefully, it'll all work out for the best. I look forward to keeping up with your journey.

Resume the Position The wait is finally over. After a week of limbo and a weekend of emotional distress, Monday evening greeted me with my retained girlfriend status, in its current capacity, and left me with the intimacy I have been yearning for for two weeks as this situation played out...

In my view, emotions are a self-reflection. Most emotions (negative particularly) derive from mis/lack of communication or underlying issues (i.e. insecurities, past experiences, etc) within oneself so I do not believe testosterone has much to do with jealousy. We just have to get to a place...

Hi Danny!!!! I look forward to reading your posts. My triad recently turned into a far stretched vee with the couple I have been seeing so I am still processing that change. However, since the original plans (male partner & I) were to all live together, I will be interested in watching the lives...

Welcome to the forum, Brainy. I definitely agree with Ciel. I hope this journey is reflective and enjoyable one for you.

@Skeeter- I do seem to sense a bit of a double standard. I have a question though. You mentioned that your wife had a boyfriend before you became poly so does that mean she was cheating on you? The reason I ask is because whatever your wife's conduct, prior to this current arrangement, may be...

@Trucker- I hope the flying went well. Yea, I've always been pretty candid about my partners and lifestyle. I mean, I don't walk around with a wraparound billboard on but it only takes one to ask and I speak freely. I guess it's a bit easier for me, though, because I'm not legally married to...

@Fidelia- Once I can edit, I will add that into the original post. I posted the question with the presumption that straightforward, honesty delivery was understood. I mean, why would you involve yourself with people who didn't communicate that way in general? So, my focus is the method used for...

@truckerpete- I don't mind at all but I'll send you a message since my response to your response really has nothing to do with Indigo's thread. :) I hope everyone has a great day!

As I've been going through this relationship change with my partners, and awaiting the outcome of our association in general, the subject line has been on my mind. Personally, I don't mind receiving bad news from my partner by way of text or email. I actually prefer it. For me, I would rather be...

I hope you are able to have the conversations you seek and continue to make progress in your relationships. I feel bad for E. That is one of the things that upset me the most about people who don't know what they want. They tend to be misleading and then fail to see/acknowledge what they've...

I can completely understand your frustration with Rage. It seems to be an energy draining relationship and I hope your words have caused her to do some self reflecting. I would love to find several partners to live and love with successfully. I'm leaning more towards all singles or at least...
