People who work in the health profession generally do not practise what they preach, and I am guilty of doing that. I do believe I must have had an aversion to mental health professionals. I avoided them like the plague. I am the same one who knew how important marriage counselling was but...

Waiting is well within her right. Obviously she has her reasons. Perhaps she has been burned in the past and learned from her mistakes. Perhaps the foundation in your relationship is not as strong as she would prefer. Talk to her without interjecting your need for the physical. Or you can...

Sam Smith - Nirvana. It is such a mellow and beautiful song. I love his voice and style.

Greetings and welcome. I've been living in Oz for a bit under a year. Is your girlfriend okay with it? Does this other woman know about your feelings for her? Is she aware of you being polyamorous? I used to believe that you should not ignore feelings for other. As long as everyone is on board...

He gave the OP his password, and she told him upfront that she a) distrusts him and b) would likely snoop. I am not seeing a breach of trust. It is not like she was standing over his shoulder or holding a compact and perfecting the angle to watch him enter it. I will not pretend to understand...

Monday was Labour Day, so we were at our beach home with the in-laws. A summer barbecue, the beach, and family time? My idea of a great long weekend. I laid on the beach, listened to music, and caught up on some reading. We really want to visit London, and we are trying to decide on the dates...

I used to have days where I would skip most or all meals. The peak was definitely in my upper secondary years. I remember when I was 17, I would buy lunch at school and almost immediately trash it. I was scary skinny. I had a wake up call that made me realise that I needed to take better care of...

I agree with Jane. We have in-depth discussions with the understanding to take a breather if it gets too heated. DH has never once yelled at me or called me out of my name. The only time I have ever heard him raise his voice--even a little--was when it came to dealing with my ex. As for me and...

I am glad that you made it to your destination safely, and I do hope you get to relax and enjoy your time with your family. You are not bad at poly. You just have had a lot going on. It might be a good thing that Buddhist is gone. It is one less person and one less stressor for you. I do hope...

I am not sure if there is an award, but a tip of the fedora to you all for resolving it that fast!

Thank you, Mags. It was not anyone here, but there were people around me/us who implied that he was the only reason I decided to forgo multiple relationships. Pfft. Matt knows he cannot control me, and he is not crazy enough to try. I dislike the notion because it implies that I have no brain...

It does help. I really do not feel any pain. It is more anger, betrayal, disappointment, and disgust. I feel no empathy or compassion for her. I want to shake her and scream, "Own up to what you did and stop blaming it on everybody." I still have days where the first thought with name...

Everyone inaccurately assumes that I gave up poly because of pressure from Matt. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Matt had nothing to do with this. Truth is, I lost the heart and the passion I once had for structuring relationships in this manner. The appeal that was there just kind of died. It was a long...

Good afternoon! Happy Sunday and the warmest of greetings! The annual SL-A anniversary hols was nothing shy of perfection. We arrived in Bali on Thursday morning before 6 AM, so we literally had the entire day to do whatever our hearts desired. It felt strange to not have a single child with...

Thank you. I am fully healed and free of pneumonia. :D You are right. I have no idea how or when that healing will occur. I am simply not sure if it will ever occur. Where do you start to heal? It just seems incomplete and unresolved. It is kind of hard to close a chapter when there was never a...

Even when I was in another relationship--this is the first time in over a decade that I am not--I always spent V-Day with my DH. Our wedding anniversary is the 15th, so the days leading up to and following those days were always spent with him. That has been our tradition since the getting to...

I have been following your recent thoughts, and I wanted to send you some hugs. My advice giving is a bit rusty, so I have nothing positive to contribute. I do hope you find something that works out in due time.

Sara Bareilles - I Choose You ^^^ I love Sara Bareilles, and this song caught my attention in the car this morning. It applies to my life and the shape it has taken on. Good morning and Happy Tuesday! I am feeling much better, and I am hoping I will be granted clearance to fly out later in the...

I am glad things are getting better. I was worried about you as I was reading this before the last update(s). It sounded like a shitty situation. Not just because of Ginger/Buddhist/whoever. The basement being flooded and all. I hope things continue to go up from here. xo

February is off to one hell of a start. First, I have pneumonia. I went in to see my GP for a completely unrelated matter. I ended up having two infected ears, pneumonia, and my blood pressure was quite elevated. Needless to say, an admission to the hospital was a given. I was the worst patient...
