I am very late, but congratulations on the pregnancy! I hope it has been and will continue to be smooth for you. Good luck with the new home. It sounds wonderful, and I am sure you all will be very happy. xo Ry

I look forward to following your journey, and I have enjoyed what you have written so far. I wish you well with everything. xo Ry

Non-poly related. I woke up with the hopes of there being updates about MH370 but no such luck. Sunday is off to a sad start. I cannot imagine how those families feel. The fear of uncertainty is making it that much worse. I am trying not to think the worst, but a flight carrying 239 people...

Honestly, I would not have wasted that much of my time responding to that. You both handled it well. I would not worry about trying to make her see your POV. At best, respect her wishes as far as your nephew. I am not sure how much contact you have with him, though. Truth is, people will believe...

It is not something that has to be done all the time. I am sure Mahogany enjoys breathing room as much as the next person, and understands Bo's need to have interests, relationships, whatever, outside the home. There is nothing wrong with spoiling yourself/partner every so often. Too much of...

Oh, I agree with you, London. I have strong opinions. Admittedly, I cringe when people present the poly-is-like-having-multiple-children or it-is-no-different-than-when-a-spouse-is-working/in the armed forces argument. Straight bullshit. Mahogany, it is good that you and Bo are open. I hope it...

Makes sense to me. When I want my husband, I want him, and no one else. No hobby, friends, or other pointless time-fillers will do. Our first therapist tried to paint it like my wanting to be around him and missing him was coming from a mono mindset. I had to call her out. Truth is, I could miss...

Wow. The communists and the President of the United States are to blame? Okay! I am sorry you are having such a rough time. I hope it works out better with DarkKnight's mum and dad. His mum sounds like she may not take it well, but let's hope she is open-minded. I wish him well.

Part 2: 10:45 AM -- Too early to pop the cork on champers? Our Marriage We have had some highs, lows, ups, and downs. We have had some days where we were not on speaking terms. We have had some days where divorce seemed more like the solution rather than suggestion. We even underwent a...

Part 2: 9:15 AM -- Too early to pop the cork on champers? It has been a full year since the hell from last year. The argument between my ex and Matt transpired on 7 March. I wanted to do a check-in. My Ex Is there anything left to salvage? Doubtful. I am only sorry that she felt like she had...

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Even without the miscarriage, I would not advise opening the marriage at this point. That is not to say never, but there are a list of reasons why people do not dive head first in to it. I agree with Dag. Grieve for the loss and give yourselves time to heal...

First, is your fiancee looking for someone to complete her or complement her? There is a difference. I hate when people say someone completes them and makes them whole. Part of me wants to say, "Cupcake, you should have been whole from the jump." Second, if she is emotionally unfulfilled with...

It would need to be someone who is unattached to the outcome. Someone who has nothing to gain personally. Our therapist or her/our family therapist are examples of that. The family therapist will be brought in because our daughter has been a patient of his since she went into foster care. Our...

As always, thank you, Kevin. AAC - Adoption Applications Committee. I have not been made aware of what our references and family members have said. I will not know officially until we are given the chance to review the home study report. My fear is that they might have said something or will...

Not much going on my world. We are entering month three of the adoption. We were forewarned that the assessment phase takes place over the course of four months. The average interview has been 2-2.5 hours. They have been rather invasive. Interview content has included but has not been limited...

I would go for sure. There is plenty to do in New Orleans, if you need to keep yourself busy while she does her thing. It is a large enough city where you do not have to cross paths unless you want to. I would say get two rooms or a suite with more than one bedroom. I know some people feel...

There was never a schedule for us. I slept where I was comfortable and wanted to. When I was at home, I slept in my bed. My career meant not sleeping in my bed most nights, so I took the opportunity to sleep there and next to my spouse when I could. My spouse was strongly opposed to my (now) ex...

I am glad you are relaxing and enjoying yourself. You deserved a break. I have heard about the awful weather in the States. And I thought GB was bad with the constant blustery conditions! It is absolutely possible that there were some intuitive feelings surrounding Buddhist. If so, those gut...

I was horrible about not eating because I was too busy. If I was working on something with a deadline or constantly in motion, eating never crossed my mind. I have alleviated that for the most part because I will take a 15 minute break to eat something now. 92? Oh goodness! MrS was concerned...

Balance is tricky. Add in a child and a spouse who does not want said child around partner(s) and you end up with interesting dynamics. How often do you want to see him? How much is your spouse willing to work with you and him to make that happen? Are work schedules the issue? How old is your...
