I've had a quite drawn out getting to know you period with a polyamorous guy (let's call him the Fireman because he is one) who seems really sweet and into me (but we've not gotten intimate, so that's probably to be expected, says my inner cynic). We had set up 2 dates that were supposed to...

I've started seeing a therapist who in many ways is very open-minded and I've felt the couple of sessions we've had have been really positive. However today he said words to the effect of 'studies show most polyamorous people have an anxious avoidant attachment style'... Now I am very secure...

A long read... As laid out in my posting history I have a long-term nesting partner and HAD a boyfriend (the Surfer) of a couple of years who just got his cancer removed. For those familiar with my journey, he had prostate surgery about 3 weeks ago, and while I knew we were winding our sexual...

My first post covered a little bit of a complicated situation which I guess in many ways lead me to polyamory. Sorry if this is a long one. Short version - when I first met my Boyfriend - the Surfer, he was 1 half of a swinging couple that my Nesting Partner and I grew close to, they broke up...

So as some may remember I've had a bit of a roller-coaster ride after dipping my toe into polyamory. Spent the better part of the 1st year of being in a formalised relationship with my boyfriend (the Surfer) running hot and cold - a traditional guy obviously challenged by polyamory but enjoying...

RESTAURANT DEDICATED TO POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIPS TO OPEN IN LONDON FOR VALENTINE’S DAY I thought some here might enjoy this. I'm in London next week - but with no-one to go with.

To briefly recap my situation, I've been the hinge on a vee, my longish distance FWB turned boyfriend and I have had a number of obstacles interfere with the flow of our connection. He's been a touch avoidant, this used to make me anxious but we managed to move to a more secure place. Most...

Little background, new to poly. Hinge in a straight vee. Partner of nearly 30 years Boyfriend is long distance, kinda casual but sweet and rewarding for all. Partner's been working really hard. So have I. Tensions mount, we get snappy, I feel like he started it but I know enough about...

6 years ago my partner tried to drag me kicking and screaming into a poly lifestyle after he fell for a lass he was supposed to be dating casually. One of the things I wailed at him was - "But who will you think of when they play a love song on the radio?" He didn't even understand the...

I found myself open to poly because -amongst other reasons - having a boyfriend and a husband was bringing all kinds of fun distractions to what can sometimes be a heavy 1st world life (really my life is ok, there's just stuff)... Anyway hubby has health issues suddenly as does boyfriend, so...

Some background for anyone interested... I'm the hinge in a straight Vee with my very long-term partner and a semi long distance boyfriend who I had been having a sex only relationship with for a while. Calling that new relationship love is a way off but it opened me to recognising poly was an...

Hello from Australia - where we've pretty much escaped the pandemic. 5+ years ago this forum helped me greatly while my partner attempted to steer us into polyamory. Firstly THANK YOU SO MUCH for being such a kind, open-minded community back then. To save you from needing to dredge through...
