Then I still believe a monogamous person's insight here would still be valuable (and more than one mono person's would be even better), especially if their feelings within the relationship structure(s) differ. And yes, I do agree that this is more Minx's responsibility with picking out the...

Which can be fine if it's surrounded by other data, studies, etc. and is done formally. This was really more of an interview on a podcast. The focus of the episode was on mono/poly relationships, and from my recollection, Franklin was asked how monogamous people (as a whole) feel in these...

Not liking the quoting system here, but I'm too lazy at the moment to go back and edit my comment in. My question was with respect to the pod's intent for making this public. They've stated the survivors aren't ready to speak yet, but they want to be heard. There's one way to solve that, and it...

The quote ref is referring to... (warning for those who don't want to read it again) Note that WhatHappened also took this sentiment to task. Believing women shouldn't mean destroying men in the process. If Franklin is cleared of any harm/abuse during this process, much of the damage will...

Two things, the first of which seemed to get ignored when it was previously mentioned: 1. Both parties have alleged abuse, or harm. I think it needs to be made clear that believing the victims represented by the survivor pod in no way means that we are not to believe Franklin Veaux as well...

Well, yay!! :D After getting through the cereal bowl of nuts and flakes, of course. The prize at the end of the box? :p Glad you and Pixi got time to reconnect. It'll be nice to recover from the holiday whirlwind. Oh, and Bandersnatch was such a good watch. I spent a couple sessions on it. :)

Interesting tidbit to add to this discussion... I briefly dated someone last summer (I ID'ed as monogamous, but he expressed interest, I figured "what the hell, let's see", and now I guess the ID doesn't fit anymore, so monogamish? Anyway...) who really couldn't wrap his head around the poly...

I had a similar issue, back in the earlier days of my relationship with Chops. He and Xena both had dreams of Kitchen Table Poly and maybe a group living arrangement at some point in the future. She really, really liked the idea of having a built-in sister figure / BFF / possible triad, and she...

Okay, now he's going to have to go into my rotation... just heard his version of the Dragonborn theme AND his "Never Gonna Give You Up" cover, and I've subscribed. Thank you. Lol. :D One of my faves for 70s covers in a punky style has been Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (with Fat Mike from...

As someone whose partner used this strategy with them in the beginning, this may not work so well and may come across as "hey, they're trying to get rid of me / don't want to spend time with me / want us to break up." It's worth just talking about polyamory in general and the fact that you're...

Fell in love with Skyrim and then Fallout 4. Went back to play Oblivion (didn't get too far yet) and Fallout 3, and then downloaded Fallout 1 & 2 on Steam. Haven't gotten too far, but they're fun. I did download the oh-so-'90s classic "Toejam and Earl" and played it with my younger daughter...

Good Lord, do I hate those things. I have had to remove them from my sports bras, because not only do they look stupid, especially when they bunch up, but they also tend to migrate to other areas of the bra (or outside the bra entirely) when I wash them. Grrrr... Clearly, someone out there...

I vastly prefer texting or talking in person over talking over the phone as well... however, here's where my problem comes in. Once I read a text, I can't mark it unread again. And I can't have my phone with me at work, so I'm either forced into replying right there and then, so I don't forget...

What I think JaneQSmythe may have been getting at (which got obscured by the particular example in question) is, what does it benefit her to give you this reason? If she's concerned that giving you a reason will lead to more arguments and heavy conversations that she doesn't have spoons for...

It would be totes apropos coming from a cat as well. PET ME NAO! NOT THERE! SMAK! BAD HOOMAN! FEED ME NAO! I LOVE UUU! I MAKE MOFNS ON UR ARM NAO! KILL DIS MAUS I BRUNG UUUU! CLEAN UP DIS MAUS I NO WANT! They get away with it because they're so damn cute. That dude... eh. Not so much. Reminds...

Not a snide question, but an honest one: when do you stop trying to prove yourself and just live your life? There will be people for whom whatever proof you provide will never be enough. If they won't like it anyway, my advice is to stop wasting energy on it and let it be. That said, my...

Well, shit. You did the right thing, of course... and he did the right thing by taking it back to her. But damn. I'm sorry to hear it. :( Chocolate and wine time? That could maybe be arranged. ;)

Thinking of you, Opal... hoping that as the situational stuff changes, things get better. I can sympathize.

"Common law" statutes vary wildly across states; my state (NH) really only uses common law marriage as a means of determining inheritance after death. Others apply different meaning to the term. From this page re. Texas law (http://www.unmarried.org/legal-information-resources-by-state/): It...

I tend to listen to Alternative radio mostly, so I'm familiar with Modest Mouse - definitely a fun listen, but of course it'll depend on your general taste. I tend to like everything, and I'm beyond thrilled that Weezer's cover of Africa is EVERYWHERE! Your story reminds me of when I decided to...
