Become - verb - to begin to be I've decided to start this thread as a way of externally processing. I welcome anyone's input, observations, questions, commentary, suggestions, or support. As long as it's well-meant everyone is welcome. I would love to connect with you all. Ultimately I'd...

I started listening to Multiamory last night and I've had it on pretty much constantly since then. This morning I also read the first chapter of The Ethical Slut and I've just been sitting and considering the degree of love and acceptance evident in the philosophy of the works. I did some...

Hey, thanks Kevin. I don't tend to lurk much. I joined looking for a community to actively participate in, and I genuinely enjoy talking to and getting to know people. Truthfully, I already know I've found my path. I've actually read the guidelines twice. They basically come down to being...

Exactly. There's always something to learn. I even find that going back to things that I've already read will often provide new insight. You can read something, and understand it, but still fail to fully comprehend the extent of its implications until you go back with more experience. I'm...

Thank you!

Hi Magdlyn, Thank you for the kind welcome. Yes, my wife and I have been separated for years now and we don't speak any more. I've actually already purchased a copy of Polysecure. It's next on my reading list. I'll add Opening Up to my list. I suspect I've already done that work over the...

Now see, I question whether that's a catch-all correct answer in this instance. Perhaps if you explained your reasoning it would make more sense to me. (Though, truth be told, it was my initial reaction, as well.) There's just too much unknown. For starters, it doesn't seem as though any kind...

Let me preface this by saying that I have little experience with polyamory, though I feel like I have a solid grasp on the concept, and zero experience with 3+ way encounters. That said, I do have a suggestion. You're free to take it or leave it. My advice would be to talk to him. I can...

REALLY good response.

The problem is that OP is poly with 2 partners who are aware of each other and have provided informed consent. Observer (former friend at this point) says to long distance partner that op cheated on them by sleeping with local partner. To op: Having read your post and all of the follow ups...

Hey I'm Paul. I'm about to be 41 and I'm pretty new to poly as a concept. I've been doing a lot of reading lately. Straight sapioromantic demisexual. I'm married but estranged. My marriage has been dead for years. She lives 350 miles away and we haven't spoken since September. That's a really...
