    Sunshine on a rainy day...

    Hi! I have written and deleted (and edited) this post 3-4 times now, as I realise I am a rambler. So here is the attempted short(er) version.

    New and confused (and tired)

    Hello everyone, I am now on the third day of my new life, after my partner (Vanilla) told me 2-3 weeks ago she was polyamorous, and loved one of my best friends (Jake). Thursday, all three of us sat down and talked about what we want, need, etc., and we decided to give this a go. Now, I use...

    Greetings community

    Hello! This is a weird thing for me to do, but then again, so is life these days. I am a hypersensitive mono, almost 36, who has been (is in!) an extremely good and safe relationship with my partner (Vanilla) for about 13 years. We have no kids, and no interest in having any. She started...
