For me this varies from partner to partner depending on how entangled and how serious we are. With my nesting partner, we both have an expectation of knowing ahead of time before we start dating again. So we'll tell each other if we're actively looking to date or if we're starting to feel...

Was he actually responding to emails? Or just reading them? It sounds like you guys agreed to pause pursuing anything... but he might not have figured there was any harm in just reading things and doing nothing but then thinking about it. And I don't really see the harm in that. Can he watch...

There are already people on the boards here that live like this. But it doesn't have to be polygamy. It could be a wife with 2 husbands. 3 wives with zero husbands, 3 husbands with zero wives. I don't think that anyone here has an issue with more than 2 adults creating a family unit. The...

OP, I debated whether to respond to InfinitePossibility's post and say how much I diagree with a lot of what was said, but you've pretty much covered it.

Well, so much for that $11k tax return! I got an email from my life insurance about a 1099 which made me realize that I'd withdrawn all of the investment balance from my variable life insurance policy to use toward the downpayment on the house. I'm not even sure why I keep this policy. The...

Just want to reiterate what others have already said. It really sucks to be thrown into a position where you have to come out when you aren't ready or hadn't prepared mentally, but it sounds like you handled it amazingly well. I would also agree that it takes time for people to come around in...

Guess it's just sporadic blog posts for me then! Things are going fairly well here. Lots going on in life. I had my birthday last weekend! 32! My SIL also had her birthday the day before mine, so Sudo and I went up north and went bowling with her and her family and my mom, then we visited...

It sounds to me like you guys are opening up as more of a "grasping at straws" to save the relationship. That's generally never a good reason to open up and turns into more of a soft transition out of the relationship. I agree with others that it sound like maybe the best option is to really...

I agree with WhatHappened in that it's not right to make this all about the husband needing to decide if OPs happiness is worth him possibly unhappily accepting being part of an open relationship. OP definitely needs to decide what she's willing to live with and where her own boundaries and...

Ugh, didn't win either the Mega Millions OR the Power Ball. LOL. But I DID get a raise at work since it's that time of year. Not gonna be sad about another $5K in my pocket each year (well, maybe not quite that much cause of taxes). Other things happening, my SIL is in town for the week for...

Soooo.... I'm gonna be totally honest with you.... chances are that this relationship won't last. For many reasons, but the biggest one being that MOST high school relationships don't last. Of course, there are a few exceptions and in fact my own brother has been married for 11 years to his HS...

Backing up your feelings on the whole veto thing and that I think it's yucky for someone to ask a partner to stop seeing someone else just because they're uncomfortable. It's completely acceptable for Ponytail to have a boundary that he can't date you if you're going to date Laptop, because...

You'd think I'd have managed to find more time over my break to post more... but I'm lazy. Actually, I just hate the idea of using my phone to make posts and I actually barely spend any time on the computer at home since I'm on it all day at work. Anyway, I can happily report that Sudo DID...

Everyone is going to have their own feels and boundaries around the sharing of information. Personally, I don't think it's a good idea for people to share the details of issues with one partner with the others, especially if those partners might interact or are already struggling with...

Does your partner enjoy less kinky sex with you? Does he communicate this to you? If he does, I know it can be hard but trust and believe him. Especially if in the moment he seems like he's enjoying himself. As someone who also enjoys both kinky and non-kink sex, I can assure you that not all...

I'm gonna be blunt and honest here... But based on all of the posts you've made about your relationships you give the impression that all of you are overly sensitive and act a bit immature in many ways. Everyone jumps to conclusions, makes assumptions without communicating, creates expectations...

Lots of great things happening all around. I've been off work since COB Thurs last week, though I did just do a few hours of things here at home tonight. I'll have some other work to do off and on but nothing major. We hosted a game night on Fri night and around 15ish people were there. We...

General good stuff happening all around. Sudo is out with New Girl again tonight. They're meeting up with a few of her friends and going to the Zoo Lights. He's never been, so that's cool. I've seen them in past years and it's a fun time! I'm thinking I'll have to name her soon. I'll give...

Is your wife actively wanting to find another partner? If she's not, then I don't think that this is something that you need to rush. It sounds to me like part of what needs to happen is just a focus on healing. Discuss why she felt the need to seek out another partner, and what you think...

Bleh, I have SO much work to do but most of it is in a system that is down and being fixed, so I can't! Guess I'll just write here! Things are still going well. My weekend was great. The overnight with Metal was fun. We watched a movie, played with his son, went to bed and had some sexy...
