Right...because if you are a reasonable person that can use logic than clearly you are not "madly" in love - so it is completely understandable to ruin some random vulnerable person's life to prove..."something"? It is very common around here (and elsewhere) for people to blame and hate on...

AND, apparently, under German law every child is entitled to a spot (partially subsidized or free in some cities) to attend a Nursery from age 12 months on (20-45 hours a week, depending on whether parents work). Parents get up to 24 months (each) of subsidized parental leave and you are...

Thank Goodness!!! And now I know something I didn't before! I was a hobo clown for dress up day in kindergarten - it may have shaped my life. I still remember wearing my dad's old orange tennis shoes... When I die young of old age, I definitely want a tramp clown at my wake. Welcome aboard!

Cringe the Clown YIKES!!! Rewatching Fight Club 8,763 times is as as close to a Chuck Palahniuk story as I ever want my life to be. But dying young of old age is a worthy finish to a lifetime of sticking it to the man. "Realized most people just suck..." could pop a period right there YET most...

3 years on - I still agree with River that being prepared to be more self-sufficient is never wrong. It's easy, after the fact, for those of us who did ok to say, "See, that wasn't so bad." But in a lot of places it actually was. Many people had to learn to make do with less - not that that...

Hello and Welcome! I'm 49F from Pittsburgh, PA, USA. My partner (50M) has always known I am poly and had their own open views about relationships and feelings. I, also, like to get to know new people deeplly - a chance meeting, an intense hour(s) of conversation, a connection feels, to me, to be...

I have small boobs and my mammogram was uncomfortable but nowhere near as bad as I had heard. The worst part was one view where I had to drape my arm over the top of the contraption and the corner was digging into my armpit. A few deep breaths and it was over. How do you compare pain...

(I'm going to take this a little out of order...) Starting with your questions: a.) Does it really matter what is "normal" for others? What matters, to me, is whether it is healthy and satisfactory for the people involved. b.) You are on a polyamory board - so relationships are generally...

Windows (and 4 panel sliding-glass door) are done! As of this morning! Relaxing this evening. MrClean brought his dog over last night to meet our new dog. No blood, no tears. Lazy day listening to music. Went in to work today to slog through paperwork. More tomorrow.. Family Camp next week.

The blogs section of the forum is where a lot of posters (those active now, those active in the past) tell their origin stories :sneaky: Some poeple link to their blogs in their sig (like I do). But you can click on a person's profile and go to "find" and see people's posts and threads that they...

I, too, was going to suggest an arrangement with a sex worker to assuage your need for "daily release" (of course assuming that you worked this out with your wife) until I read your response in Post#12 - but I suppose that is the same reason why masturbation and porn are not sufficient. That...

Just to play devil's advocate - I would ask him to elaborate on what he meant by that statement (as well as how he thought it was advancing your therapy). Perhaps it was an observation that he had made in his own practice, i.e. most of the poly people that he has seen in therapy have displayed...

Pardon my ignorance, what is PUD?

Hello and welcome! Every new idea, skill, relationship has a learning curve. Go easy on yourself, there is no rush. Read, learn, think, grow.

Hello! Welcome to the forum! Kudos to you for following your curiousity and reading, learning, thinking! Everybody follows a different path - I'm glad that yours has led you here. Jane("Thank-U-4-Vaxxing")Q

Just as another point-of-view - not all experienced polyfolk rule out getting involved with people newly opening up a marriage. I thought I had posted about this previously - which I had, although the post was a little more vitriolic than I remembered! I, personally, don't avoid poly...

Or even just the "perpetual student" types - like MrS, he always has a science youtube channel he is binging, currently doing CrashCourse Chemistry...(Last night I walked by and heard the guy saying "...now you know more about chemistry than anyone did in 1900..." and I smiled :giggle:)

Hello, Welcome, and Nice-to-Meetcha! Although I don't consider myself particularly "kinky", I am one of the (minority, it would seem:sneaky: ) members here who is into threesomes and group sex. But I would agree that, in most cases, that would fall into more of a "recreational sex" realm as...

We are, we are just out there having so much fun that we don't have time the need to come here and crow about it! ;) OK, that was somewhat toungue-in-cheek, but the tendancy remains that people tend to seek advice on the internet when they are having issues - when expectations don't match...

Just to share my experience - NOT to tell you what you should do, should have done!: When Dude and I got together I was not on contraception as I was still actively desiring a pregnancy. MrS and I had already gone through a miscarriage years earlier and never gotten pregnant again over the...
