    Major discomfort in the idea of a threesome: How do I deal?

    Geeze louise. If anyone is pressuring you to have a sexual encounter that you're not comfortable having, they need to stop immediately. You don't have any obligation or duty to live out someone's fantasies. Your body, your rules. What kind of monster could enjoy themselves in a threesome...

    Overnights at our house - what is reasonable?

    Your home is your sanctuary and you have every right to have that space be comfortable and inviting. If having other people over would interfere with your comfort in your own home, then they can find somewhere else to shag. Not just on the first couple dates, but throughout their entire...

    Dating Tips for a Trans Man?!

    I'm shy too. Sometimes it helps to bring a wingman. That's sorta how my gf met her husband, who's also trans. It was a little more convoluted than that, and only really worked because they're all crazy as foxes. Basically she was at the bar with her boyfriend and her (now) husband was out with...

    Dating Tips for a Trans Man?!

    From what I can gather from a couple articles, they're basically saying that failure to "tell the truth" negates one's consent. So then, if you find out someone actually is not STI-free, or that maybe they make minimum wage and not six-figures like they claim... does that mean you can press...

    Dating Tips for a Trans Man?!

    Are you fucking kidding me? What the hell kind of ass backwards law is that!??! I guess the UK did have homophobic laws on the books long after the rest of the free world pulled their heads out of their butts, but seriously. Wow. And then they'd have to prove in court that you are trans and not...

    New and Unsure

    Well that should be obvious, I would think. Because she's not trustworthy. Even when you had agreed to an open relationship and asked little more than honesty, she still cheated on you. Trusting her would mean you're a fool, and you don't strike me as a fool. Both good questions. What have you...

    Vegetarian recipes please

    "I can't believe it's healthy Mac and Not-Cheese" I made this last night and oh my god it's so good. It's not cheese, but after you taste it, you'll wonder why you ever liked cheese anyway. Note: I used almond milk instead of coconut, and red potatoes instead of yellow. And even though I have...

    Confirming relationship status - The Poly Checkin

    For myself, on this, I agree. Mostly it's just a pain in the butt to have to avoid metamours just because they're uncomfortable or obsessed with privacy. I'm a homebody, and if I'm going to leave my own home for a date, I'd still prefer to hang out at the other person's house than go "out" out...

    No. People make mistakes. People are sometimes careless. What makes someone a horrible person is doing stuff like this on purpose just to see the SHTF.

    Outted

    Best thing you can do now is own it and show how sincerely you regret your mistake. You didn't try to hide it, that's a good start. I assume you've apologized profusely and begged for forgiveness. An accident is when you hit a patch of ice and your car slides into a pole, and even then the...

    Confirming relationship status - The Poly Checkin

    My husband has no interest in meeting people I date. He met my gf and they happened to get along so he's fine hanging out with her. But when I went out a few times with some guy on OKC, and the guy wanted to meet my husband, hubby wanted nothing to do with it. He only has so many days home from...

    Confirming relationship status - The Poly Checkin

    If someone is THAT bent on deception, there's nothing to stop them from getting a conspirator to phone and say the same thing. He could even arrange coffee to meet face-to-face. It proves nothing. At some point, you have to actually trust what your partners tell you. This. Virtually everyone...

    Confirming relationship status - The Poly Checkin

    I totally understand this stance and I don't disagree with the principle. But my gf's husband had a meet-the-new-partner-before-sexy-times-happen rule, and I obliged. He's diagnosed with severe anxiety and it's no secret that he's got some unhealthy behaviours related to that. But it was much...

    If we're polyamorous, how can I be a distraction from him dating other women?

    Not a weakness at all. Everyone needs a sense of security, and people meet that need in lots of different ways. It's perfectly normal, from an evolutionary perspective, to want to have your loved ones close to you at all times. It's also perfectly normal not to want that. Yay for individualism...

    If we're polyamorous, how can I be a distraction from him dating other women?

    My husband put a lot of stock in it when his own daughter unfriended him on facebook. I say he has good reason to be miffed.

    If we're polyamorous, how can I be a distraction from him dating other women?

    "give polyamory a try" implies that one or the other of you doesn't come by polyamory innately. Your nickname and his actions indicate that it's probably both of you. My suspicion is that his heart is not capable of holding love for two people simultaneously, and that being in love with you...

    She wants him to herself...

    I won't dispute that. Like I said, *communication* Sorry, but I have news for you: there's no such thing as "how things normally go." Everyone has different backgrounds, different values and morals, different tolerances for all kinds of things. Some people think reading their spouse's phone is...

    Have you lost anything from being poly?

    Committing? Don't worry, we don't make you sign a lifelong contract or anything. You can checkout any time you like, and you can even leave! Try it out, be open and honest with everyone that you're not 100% sure it's the relationship style for you. Deal with issues as they come up, communicate...

    I've desperately upset and offended my good friend...help please!!!

    What we have here is a trigger. There's no inherent offensiveness in the word "stigma." Polyamory is stigmatized, there's no denying that. If she has a problem with the stigma of her relationship style, she's got to find ways to deal with that. Yes, her real hurt is perfectly legitimate. But...

    She wants him to herself...

    My understanding is that Hamish didn't lie, but actually believed the marriage was over. His sin was acting prematurely to replace his wife. Then they decided to save the marriage instead, but it was too late to stop the snowball. Although that neglects to explain why Castle understood this to...
