Some people are not meant to live together. I would hate living with another woman. I never had roommates, and it is a challenge for me to share space with even the best of friends. My sister lived with us for a few weeks, and I was climbing the walls. I am assuming she is still with your...

I hope everything turns out okay with Beaker. I am glad it is not cancer. If her doctors cannot figure it out, there are others in the world. I often tell people that at some point diseases were nameless. There are doctors who believe that if they cannot read it in a book, it must not exist. I...

I am heavily weighing the possibility of distancing myself from her. Against my spouse's wishes and therapist's opinions, I am considering moving out of the main home. It is not conducive to her mental health and well-being or my healing efforts to be around her. I have no idea how living...

Her therapist suspects this has been ongoing for at least two-three years, and it has reached a fever pitch. Her belief is that the catalyst was Maternal Deprivation and has now evolved into an attachment disorder, self-esteem issues, self-worth issues, episodes of anger, and hint of depression...

It Is definitely not just defiance or pushing my buttons. I overheard her talking to Matt. She has it in her mind that she was not special enough to have my attention then. She talks down on herself. It is like blames herself for not being good enough. She has concluded that I liked/loved Kensi...

Kensi is easy to be around and easy to talk to. It has become an opportunity for her to make amends. Of all the issues we have worked through, the situation with my best friend is the one that was never resolved to a satisfactory level, IMO. He is still in protection mode. I feel like I might...

I'm happy to see your update. I hope things continue to go well for you! :)

What I would do? Seek counselling or separate temporarily. I am not going to say annullment or divorce just yet. I would suggest a therapist who can handle relationships of any shape. We have a poly-friendly therapist, and even as the former polyamorist in my mono/poly marriage, I went into it...

Each is situation is unique. I just get the feeling that is that he has been tolerant and accommodating out of respect for something that was pre-established. It is like buying something used and accepting it "as is." He will never admit if it bothered him then or if it was bothering him before...

Wow. People have no respect. I do hope so. I hope she moves or increases the amount of security. I was impressed by how they conducted themselves. It was quite apparent that he has no respect for her. He managed to keep it respectful. I am happy that we are seeking therapy. If it will help...

We have talked about it, and his response has continued to be very vague. Something similar to, "I cannot tell you who to have contact with. Your life and your decision. I trust your judgement." At the very least, he was tolerant because it started before him. I cannot get him to admit how he...

Sending hugs your way. There is no rule that says you have to feel compersion for someone. Anyone who says you absolutely must is full of shit, and it does not make you any less poly, if you do not. Sometimes it is just not possible and forcing it will not make it come. That is like having bad...

And the rest... Kensi and I are on solid ground. We get on well. She knows that a romantic future will never happen between us again, and she has been respectful of my wishes and requests. We talk and text every day. She has committed to earning my trust back, and we both know that it will take...

Houston...We Have a Problem I am happy to be home. I could not wait to get away from Houston. I made it until Thursday night, and I hopped on a flight to LAX and by 12 AM, I was on the way back to Stralia. In all seriousness, I wanted to leave the same night it happened, but that would not have...

I am in Houston, Texas, and it has been one hell of a trip. My hired car was broken in to yesterday. I am here on business, and knowing myself as well as I do, I am about to put on another figurative hat: investigator/detective and forensic scientist. I am due to return on Thursday, but I may...

Welcome to the forum. My orientation is a mouthful, as well. I am a panromantic demisexual. Panro because I can be romantically attracted to all genders, but demi simultaneously because I am asexual to everyone but people I am in love with. Even if I am in love, I still may not experience sexual...

OP -- protect your children from whatever you see fit. If I was going to date again, the person would never meet my children. In your case, it does not matter because she has no interest in meeting you, and she may have no interest in being around your child. All within her right. I love my...

OP -- I would run like Usain Bolt. This chap seems like he is collecting a triple H--Happy Honey Harem. It seems as if there is nothing appealing about this situation, and if I am not mistaken, you posted before about how he prefers that you and the other ladies have sex to please him. There is...

I love your updates. I always end up grinning like a Cheshire and aww'ing. I am glad you are doing well. I will post a more lengthy response later. :)

Your daughter may have turned over a new leaf. I hope your relationship with her improves, and I hope she stays healthy. Carla and David will likely understand where you are coming from. I would say arrange a meeting. And yes, some men can be assholes. I hope Ginger has a speedy recovery...
