    It's a Texlahoma Story

    On the "Not good enough thing", It could be an internal thing too,. Is this something you have experienced with other lovers? Does the not good enough feelings come up in other ways? Could be putting him on a pedestal in some ways? Could that be part of it? I noticed in a previous post around...

    New to poly and in DESPERATE need of outside perspective

    You seem to have a clear idea about what you want and what you are looking for. I suggest talking about this with him. Let him know what you re looking for and what needs of yours are not being met. After that he may change his behaviors or he may not, but then it can be a discussion. In the...

    poly/mono transition: second lover request: a sms/call every night: your advice?

    If you are not comfortable with having him over than that should be something you discuss with her, have you discussed boundaries about your living space? How do you normally handle having guests over? Do you wish to handle having partners over differently?

    poly/mono transition: second lover request: a sms/call every night: your advice?

    I don't really see an issue with the texting a goodnight. If that is something she wants to do and agreed to what's the big deal? You never said why it bothers you either. I think you need to figure that out so that you can talk to her about it. This sounds more like your issue than hers...

    supporting your meta during a breakup

    Sometimes, no they are not. Some people have Doms or Subs and engage in power exchange with others without a romantic (or even necessarily sexual) relationship. Sometimes people have connections based around power exchange. And even when those connections are also romantic or dating...

    Leaving with someone else

    This. I know I would be upset if my partner wasn't willing to compromise with me. But it sounds like both of you are compromising to a point of it being self damaging. Which isn't good for either of you

    Long distance poly ...

    I find cam and phone sex helpful with maintaining intamcy while apart. It can be awkward or difficult at first but it definitely helps me feel connected to my partners.

    Much ado about nothing

    I think her reading your journal was a privacy violation and a breech of trust. At least I know that's how I would feel if it were my journal. It's your journal and you have a right to a safe place to share your feelings with yourself. Did she say why she wants a divorce now?

    If it ends for one, it ends for all?

    You are not required to be with the other man if you do not want to be. You are not obligated to date anyone. You can break up with him while still allowing your husband to date the woman. Their relationship decisions are theirs and yours are yours.

    Help: New to open relationship but in the dog house for "cheating"

    Playing while you are angry is not a good idea. I understand that sex and kink can be connective and positive (I am in two 24/7 kink relations on both sides of the slash), but playing when there are wrong negative emotions is not a good idea. I think only you can decide weather or not it was...

    My boyfriend just broke up with his girlfriend of nine years

    Yeah we are still together, and doing better. A while ago he met up with his ex and they talked and that helped him process the break up (They are still friendly). That seemed to help him a lot.

    Dealing with feelings of emptiness

    I think Martin might be struggling with insecurity himself. Perhaps because you did not reply with an "I love you too" or perhaps for other reasons. But that is my impression of his actions.

    Do you have any interest in seeking a nesting partner you could have those thing with since it is not possible with your current partner?

    Repairing Trust

    Yeah.... I think that would be my preference.... I have sort of told him as much and he has sort of agreed with me. But I think a more explicit conversation about it is in order... (Also I believe you mentioned Jason, I am Jay)

    Repairing Trust

    @GalaGirl We talked alot last night. I think we are on the same of forgiveness/apologies/desire to work through and continue our relationship. He said he initiated things with her. So I don't think that was the case in this situation. I still feel odd about sexual contact with him tho I no...

    So last night something happened. My boyfriend Jason spontaneously went over to an old casual partners house without telling me about it and fucked her. Then proceed to lie to me about it. As of yesterday morning he had not seen her in weeks. Has not been intimate with her in months. And had...
