I think the other question is, can you get to a place where you have a happy, healthy more platonic relationship with your bf that built is on what you do have in common, while your sexual needs are met in other relationships, and be comfortable with that? Can you love him without the higher...

not surprising. Let's judge people who are different than we are.

You sound pretty normal to me! My ex gf broke up with me a little over a month ago and while I'm not really in a place to want another one right now, I'd like to be open to the idea. But I have NO idea how I'd go about meeting another. Especially cuz my first was LD and I'd rather avoid...

Welcome back! Glad to hear things are going better the second time around!

I like this comment a lot. That's how I feel, as well. NRE is awesome, don't get me wrong, but it has its downsides too. The high might be great, but the crash sucks. Stability is just as much a good thing. :)

Congrats and I"m so happy to hear your triad is working out so well! Welcome to the forum!!

Welcome to you too Kevin!

Welcome back!!!! I love your posts and glad you're a member!

Welcome the forum Jandm! Glad you're having a wonderful experience with poly and can't wait to see more of you around here :)

Welcome to the forum! Glad that you're in a happy place!! I have to say my boyfriend makes me feel that same way. That it was the relationship I was meant for. It's good when we all move towards what makes us happy.

Thank you both. So far we've actually been doing fine, and I've been focusing more on just spending time with him. He's much more introverted and less emotional than I am, so he handles things way differently than I do. But we had a great day yesterday with some friends. I'll just keep...

Welcome to the forum JK! Seen you posted, just thought I'd drop an official hello!

So, A month ago my now ex broke up with me, and basically broke up our triad in the process, but was still dating my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I, in my opinion, have gotten stronger in the last month, worked hard on our relationship and recovering from what happened, because he lost a...

That's fair enough =) What 'affects you' is subjective as well. If my spouse/SO went to a political rally for someone I didn't like I could care less. Their beliefs are their own and don't impact me or mine so that wouldn't ever come into play, yet others mentioned that as a restriction for...

I read the entire thread 11 pages and really didn't get the feeling people were fighting either or that anything you said was offensive. I've enjoyed your posts and I'd love if you kept posting. It's been a good discussion.

Welcome back! I'm also from Texas (and super state-pridish!) so always happy to meet another Texan! Glad you're here. I'm learning as well.

Welcome to the forum!!!! I'm Lea, great to have you here :)

My boyfriend and I went through this as well. He was afraid for a lot of the early part of our relationship that my husband would make me choose at some point and he didn't want to break up my family he didn't want to lose me either. When I really sat down and thought about it, if it came to...

Maybe the better way to separate it is this - If you are engaging in behavior that is NOT harmful to me, I should not be placing restrictions on it (IE: If you want to watch that movie, just not around me that's fine) - If you are engaging in behavior that is HARMFUL to me, IE: I can place the...

Reading along and I'm enjoying the conversation and I'm completely behind (11 pages guys!) but THIS. PLUS ONE THIS PLEASE AND THANK YOU. (sorry! Not taking sides, I just agree the veto rule is hurtful and shouldn't be ok). Closed or Open poly doesn't matter to me as long as the people IN...
