That's a lot of issues coming to war with each other from all directions. No advice other than paragraph breaks and write on one thing at a time. No one on here cares about length, but paragraph breaks help make it easier to read and understand. Best of luck.

Ha! Easy, Tiger. Far as I know, no one, myself included, took the lead on organizing that writing/editing staff, though several mods really did their homework to prepare for the technical changes (myself not included; I perused). Of course it is ultimately up to the site owner, Olivier. Stone...

SG, thanks, especially for that bolded part. Indeed very hard to do. You're smart and funny.

When you say "in a relationship with more than one partner", do you mean a triad, where all three are involved romantically with one another? I ask because I followed your links and saw that you defined poly as "a relationship with three partners" on your blog. Might help to find participants to...

Hey! Why not? Oh, dear, we take ourselves so seriously. :) -R

I admit I did not read all the posts, but now have. I am responding mostly to the icky thought of being told what to think or do, more of a response to the spin-offs. They are both aware of their personal preferences and acting on them. I would like to see someone try to say to another with a...

You slay me (the collective Me). -R

This wife is trying to decide what is appropriate for someone else. I cannot imagine being told which thoughts are appropriate for me to have. It's not a poly question. It's a question of what it means for you to respect another person's freedom to govern themselves so you can know and love...

Not trying to solve or argue. Not taking their stress on as something you have to absorb. I know what you mean, and I have found myself taking disruptions and feelings of overwhelmedness personally. I have been asked to look at acute distress as sickness, and comfort as I would if the mental...

Busy as hell I am a very tired, very happy tornado of life. I got tough with myself in August, spent hours on my calandar, and did soooo much work on relationships, myself, and just, well, work. I wanted to see if I could do everything I had planned for a whole month. I did all but three...

River, You are beautiful. I'm sad to hear you weren't treated well by your friend, but I'm glad that you choose to look to the love in your life in this situation, instead of being blinded to it by disappointment. You are a rare gem and I appreciate your soul and the sharing of it with us, as...

After 32 years, and having cohabitated with... oh god, too many people, I am still working on cohabitation of any sort. Right now the fellas and I are working on more of a multi-habitation thing. Everybody has their own place, both so we can get a sense of how we want to live and be responsible...

Excellent addition to my morning. :) Thanks -R

While my whole life has changed, simultaneously I travel towards an existence so much more familiar than the rest of it was. My perspective looking back now shows a bridge built with my head down, tension so delicate, it is hard to believe that it was me that made it all breathtaking in the air...

Thanks, buddy. -R

Thank you

Zealotry meets Jealously It has been brought to my attention that I am a bulldozer. Today I have let this word, zealotry, wash over me and show me where I have been wrong in enormous ways. I have asked for things that I have not given. I have given things that I have not asked for from...

:)

Ha. Yes and no. River and I get each other spiritually, but I am not the much-adored new ladyfriend. I have enough to deal with, thank you very much. :) -R

Not quite ready to meet the world today, but I know it's out there. Must give myself the luxury of moving slow and steady. I have been grateful to have been able to expend almost all of my nervous energy at work these last few days. Almost. I am trying to consider all that has been...
