    Partner encouraged non poly to cheat on unsuspecting fiance

    why does she sneak out? Is her fiancee unaware of the existence of your partner or does he know about him but disapproves her seeing him? Do everyone a favor in one fell swoop. Tell the fiancee anonymously. He gets out of marrying a rotten woman. She gets to be happy by ending things...

    Any experience with handling jealous partners?

    expectations of text replies in 30minutes or less are unreasonable, you're not a pizza delivery joint

    I need advice :( feel like im going crazy

    I may be stereotyping your husband but I imagine that since he is Latino he is very wrapped up in his role as a masculine head of the household and very traditional. Is this true? I also imagine that he was okay with it at the beginning because he felt he was going to get a threesome out of it...

    New to Poly Relationships, Looking for Advice

    I completely agree that M's "trauma" has turned into a useful crutch to be used as a chastity belt on his wife. It smelled like BS from the get go. What a coincidence that he married the exact woman whose vagina is connected to his childhood trauma via heartstrings that must never be severed...

    Polyamory Research Survey

    Perhaps if researchers would come to the forum and integrate themselves for a period of time your research would be more fruitful. Read the forums, understand the struggles, participate in helping people get opinions and answers, then construct a study. It's the difference between reading...

    How do I tell my husband I want and need open relationship

    I'm sorry about your hurt and confusion. There obviously was miscommunication. 1. You claim that it's obvious men were included otherwise why have the talk. Did you specifically say "I will date and make love to men." Or did you just talk about poly in a general sense and refer to lovers or...

    Mono/poly newly opened relationship. Need advice

    Read my posts on the previous page. It is something you can never fully understand being raised as a woman in our society, particularly if you have any bisexual proclivities.

    Help, please. Denied access to my step-daughter

    This is one of those situations where you really have no power and it is so frustrating and hurtful. Unfortunately families come as a package deal it's very hard to maintain a good relationship with one when others within that family want to separate from you. Think about how hard it is for two...

    How do I even start to explain??

    This made me laugh because it made me think of something my wife said after she had been out with a boyfriend during the day while the boys were at school and I was at work . She told me that she felt it was unfair for me to go on dates during family time (anytime I'm not at work or the gym)...

    Mono/poly newly opened relationship. Need advice

    Just wanted to respond to this but I think we're getting off topic here. By later in life I meant college. I am certainly no expert on bisexuals but I have known a number of them and most of them had no clue that they were bisexual until college. They admitted that they had a passing curiosity...

    Mono/poly newly opened relationship. Need advice

    you know darn well bisexual and gay people historically and predominantly opt for a traditional marriage to stay in the closet, or just make life smoother for themselves. You are in the minority, I predict this will change with more acceptance.

    Mono/poly newly opened relationship. Need advice

    You will see more replies like tenKs with the same accusations, but probably not as harsh. This site has a decidedly feminist slant to it and most of the women on here abhor the patriarchy our society has built. It's not a surprise since poly has its roots in feminism. I just sometimes wish...

    Mono/poly newly opened relationship. Need advice

    I applaud you for you insight and thoughtfulness to explore this possibility. Get ready for more responses like the above. You are not a sexist ass but many women on here are militant on insisting there is no difference between giving consent for your wife dating a woman vs a man. If we were...

    How do I tell my husband I want and need open relationship

    What are your reasons for believing he might be cheating? If you have strong reason to believe this, it is not at all unusual for him to want to have an open relationship on his side and to keep you at home not enjoying the same thing. Your need to practice poly sounds like it's crushing you in...

    Seeking advice, how to come out to a significant other

    A big part of the problem is that this is easy for you because you were on the outside of the relationship looking in so you don't really have any feelings of loss you only have something to gain from this. She on the other hand will have feelings of loss and certainly has very little incentive...

    Seeking advice, how to come out to a significant other

    Chances are it isn't going to happen. If he has been jumping back and forth between the two of you then that means there is probably a bit of resentment or even hostility at least on her part towards you. If this is the case and he is with her right now then she probably feels that she won his...

    Need advice - husband wants poly and I don't

    DOS. To me I think the clearest route to getting through this is to seriously face your fears and start contemplating non monogamy. Really dig into it and understand it and share all of your fears and thoughts with your husband. This educational process could really help build intimacy between...
