Only in one right now, and it is not going to change until some unspecified time like when present and future children are grown and out of the house. Two was my limit, and I preferred having a primary and a secondary/tertiary with no fixed schedule. Two primaries stretched me to max capacity...

I prefer fish and seafood. I could be content with living a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. If I eat red meat a couple of times a month, that is more than enough. I cut it out prior to Lent, and I have not missed it at all. Sugar is the only thing I really gave up for Lent because it is my weak...

Couples therapy started in March of last year. We took a short break, but even before we moved, we were working with our current therapist remotely. Individual therapy started at the beginning of April. I have not taken any breaks. Family therapy started in January. Integrating her required the...

Thank you, Kevin. Marriage counselling is not as aggressive. Our therapist believes we are healthy and do not need to see her much or at all. We only go twice a month. Yesterday's appointment was 30 minutes, and we were both like, "This would be a good stopping point." It is not the crutch it...

That is glamping! That sounds like the resort we stayed in a few years back. We were on the Maasai Mara Reserve. My favourite part was seeing the pride of lions. It screamed powerful. We captured it, and it seemed as if they were posing. I was am trying to get back to Africa this year to glamp...

I have developed an aversion to my therapy. I feel stifled when I sit in an office and talk about my feelings, thoughts, opinions, etc. I feel awkward talking about myself for long periods of time. I feel like something is wrong with me for going to therapy when I feel like I have no actual...

I completely understand where you are coming from, SC. I am the same way. I feel no attraction to strangers. The emotional level has to be up to par, but even if it is, there is no guarantee love or any attraction will ever follow. I have to be in love in order to feel sexual attraction. The...

You would love it here. It is not good if you do not want to gain weight, but I am in foodie heaven. I could not pass up KK today. I will burn them off at some point. My daughter would flip if I moved anyone in. She has made it clear that she does not need any more parents, and I want to avoid...

I think you are pretty damn awesome. Our pasts are what strengthen us. Not define us. I would still share my Krispy Kreme doughnuts with you. (The light was on this morning.) I applaud you for having a successful live in V. It would drive me nuts. Living with Matt is more than enough. I need...

Wow. I think she did you a favour. The hot and cold and teasing game is very off-putting. She wanted your relationship to be long-term, but she feels no sexual attraction/chemistry? Unless she was aiming for a non-sexual relationship with you and realised it would not work because you wanted...

I am sorry that happened to you. It took her four months to figure that out, but honestly, it is quite possible she really did not know. I wondered that when I first read your posts, but other theories were plausible. Out of curiousity, did you ask her when she knew that for sure? I am curious...

Matt is the outdoorsy type. The weather was nice and cooler in the evenings, so it felt good. The scenery was really beautiful, and we were close to the beach. We had a picnic on the beach Sunday with all the other families before we headed home. We had sleeping pads as a back-up because I know...

Lol. I am being a team player. Mags, this is not my kind of camping. I prefer glamping. A luxurious 4-5 star resort, Egyptian cotton sheets, memory foam, a cosy fireplace, safari tent accommodations, ensuite marble bath, Michelin starred meals, 24-hour room service, etc. are more up my alley. I...

I feel for you. My hubby never asked me to choose. He tolerated poly. He dealt with it as long as he could, but when he decided enough was enough, he left about 72 hours later. It took moving the ocean to get him to return. He did not threaten divorce. He told me what he could not and would not...

Choices. Hoyam's thread made me start thinking about a week ago. Matt never asked me to choose. Matt tolerated poly but really hated it. He dealt with it as long as he could, but when he decided enough was enough, he left. He did not threaten divorce. He told me what he could not and would not...

Not much going on in my world. My oldest is out of school until Monday. She only had school two days this week. I took some PTO and spent the entire day with her. We had a really nice day. We are going camping this weekend. Our youngest daughter's school is hosting their annual family camp...

Your husband told you what he can no longer do or be part of; a poly marriage. He has not issued an ultimatum like leave him, or I will divorce you, right? He has simply reached his limit and knows that it is not for him. Let him make the best decision for himself. If he leaves, that is his...

It is very troubling and very mysterious. I hope there was a safe crash landing somewhere. It seems as if the flight "disappeared" over water, and from what I remember, there is a lot of trade and traffic in that body of water. It just seems like if that is where they crashed, someone would have...

This tickled me pink. I am not sure why some people automatically assume that if you miss your spouse while they are gone, you are pawing at the bay window, listening to sad songs, crying, quoting Elizabeth Barrett Browning poems, and waiting for their return. Time apart is good for everyone. I...

Wow. I always look at parents who do that kind of oddly because knowing about something will not prompt a child to try something or even desire whatever it is. Is your sister the type of person to keep your nephew from hanging around you for fear that you might have PunkRock around him or that...
