Hmmm is it worth it? I'm one of those people who opened up a relationship sexually because I was likely to cheat. It was a hard conversation to have but totally worth the difficult terrain. Opening up to poly has been a different journey and I'm still questioning if it's worth it but I've also...

Did they not attempt to make the screen happen? I definitely think it's ok to ask what she'd do if the tables were turned. Not sure asking them not to see each-other is ok. I'd be really pushing to learn which one of them talked the other into it, and then asking them to look at the scenario...

This is A LOT of energy for a guy you haven't met, and IMO in your 1st foray into polyam - your boyfriend of 2 years who trusts and supports you in your poly journey deserves to be your priority. Yes as well as you BUT... Texting this guy for months and never mentioning you're in a...

I came into poly from swinging the swinging world. Whilst my primary/nesting partner and I enjoy couples play with the right people really we're what they call a Stag/Vixen couple, I'm a 'Hotwife' whose partner loves seeing me in my sexual element with other men. So straight MFM's are kind of...

I'm pretty new to poly so could be completely wrong with my take on his words - but it alarms me that he's busy reassuring you about romantic feelings, and having no interest in pursuing anyone-else without adding the caveat of - for now, or explaining how he may address new partners in the...

Kicking some life into this thread because I'm feeling really blue and just need to tell someone besides my partner... So the boyfriend still doesn't have a confirmed cancer diagnosis but if it's there it's prostate cancer, biopsy scheduled for 2 weeks time. There's not really any good news...

I used Facebook groups a couple of times to bounce thought bubbles - there were, of course, gold nuggets in the replies but also in true Facebook nature people jumping straight to hard opinions and judgement... I think here people have a little more empathy that 1 size doesn't fit all...

Maybe you guys are a monogamish Vixen/Stag couple - without multiple 'guest stars' - just Hank? TBH - The fact that when you're not in bed he's closer to you them her makes me feel you're sitting more in sex-based Ethical Non-Monogamy than love in her and Hank's heart polyamory.

Definite escalation, we see each-other one on one and we talk very freely together. There's no competing in either relationship dynamic, and for me that's what makes it a safe exploration of polyamory, if any of us had insecurities/real jealousy we probably wouldn't be suited to it. I'm never...

Yes! Sorry for not being clear - we're not married but we may as well be.

I relate very much with your situation. But besides being confident in the swingers lifestyle, we're also what they call a Stag/Vixen style couple. That's where my husband enjoys, often joins in and is not threatened by my expression of sexuality and to some degree my encounters with other men...

I'm feeling like it's time to provide a bit of an update. Re - the boyfriend, place holding etc. I can't even remember what happened that next day I saw him. I think maybe we just didn't get very much time to talk. Some reading this may roll their eyes at me but I'm quite into astrology and at...

I haven't been in your situation but I've thought about it. My partner has had a bit of a medically related dip in his libido, while mine is still burning. I have no doubt a new girlfriend for him would re-ignite his spark. I have a boyfriend/lover who has been helping keep my sexlife a...

I read this as perhaps it could be the spark for you and your wife with poly but that you should accept that it's over with her distant cousin. Use it as a catalyst to explore possibly opening your relationship (for your wife as well) but keep things clean.

Bit scary that incurable super-gonorrhea!

Here's another version if the same from Time Out. The gist is buy 2 get 1 free. Also open to larger sets of poly people... Valentine’s day is typically for candle-lit dinners, romantic hotel stays and cringe-worthy spa breaks. Typically, everything offered will be designed for two people, and...

RESTAURANT DEDICATED TO POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIPS TO OPEN IN LONDON FOR VALENTINE’S DAY I thought some here might enjoy this. I'm in London next week - but with no-one to go with.

I come from the swinging world - once had a deep couples friendship, guys are straight, us girls would play, kiss and enjoy eachother but we're both more inclined to emotional connection with guys... It could have been a poly situation but I had my walls up high. Anyway what I'm getting at is...

Physical connection helps IMO but if you spark eachother just connection makes you both sparkle...

Thanks @Marcus - This is meant as a compliment - I find your input often blunt and your experience at the far end of how could love, a real practical thinker... and it really helped me to put his stance through the lens of boundaries because coming from the world of swinging I'm really good at...
