To answer my own question: Yes, IF A the person afflicted has not sought any treatment or kept up with treatment in the last year B us being together and/or being poly has for the last two years objectively made them worse C if their condition is very similar to mine, involves a lot of mood...

This comes up in so many threads on the Poly Relationship Corner and is one of the things that seems to worry people new to poly a lot. So I wanted to start a thread that is not necessarily problem/crisis centered around it. What effect, if any, do you feel poly has on the sex life you have? Is...

Just wanted to a test theory AND the poll feature of the forums. I recently read that an overwhelming majority of couples have met each other at work, online or in a bar/club. I was surprised because I thought the most common way to meet someone would be through existing friends and...

Feel free to throw jelly cupcakes at me if there's a thread about this somewhere with vivid discussion and excellent points already. Pure semantincs; say you've recently opened up a previously monogamous relationship, or are a single individual whose decided to embark on poly. Say you are...

So yeah. I'm born-again Christian. Phew. So now I've said. Neither one of my partners share my convictions. Needless to say, there is some confusion at times. My female partner and I had a long talk about how she feels there's this huge thing she doesn't get at all that has a huge effect on my...

Yet again, I am unsure whether this is the place to post this or if this would be more at home at the Fireplace. I am specifically interested in people's experiences of transitioning from cheating to poly/some other form of consensual non-monogamy. So, have any of you tried to get a cheater to...

Anyone else ever had this happen? Falling into the throes of NRE with several people at AT THE SAME TIME? How do you cope? I sort of thought that NRE is the poly equivalent of nesting, in that the new couple wants to be together all the time and only has eyes for each other for a while. So now...

I debated for a long time where to post this, so mods, feel free to move this if another section strikes you as more appropriate. So I am basically asking if anyone has experience with a relationship that has had a history of abuse and is no longer abusive? If so, what made you stick? I have...

In the 'Personal Summaries' thread, I noticed a lot of people on this forum work with people with developmental/intellectual/learning disability (myself included). Is this just sample-blindness on my part or is this actually common? Because the one other community I'm somewhat familiar with...

...and why not for hubbies, too! I read the 'poly and military' thread, which was nice and answered some of my questions of being out in the force. However, I've spied there are a few people here involved with (ex-) Army people. From the viewpoint of a secondary, I have a few questions; 1) How...

Inspired by the thread 'What's in it for a unicorn', I think I can't help but to offer a description of what's it like to go couple-hunting from the perspective of a self-confessed unicorn. Ever since I read Ms. Deborah Anapol, I became convinced what I really needed was a couple. She made it...

I realize this just might be one of those questions where the answer will always be 'it varies from one person to the next', but I'll ask anyway; I've been reading a lot of how important it is to not get obsessed over a particular relationship form you want to have, such as 'It must be a triad...

Hullo to all! I've had bad experiences before with forums, i.e. flaming and fighting, but I've been looking around this forum for a few days now, and I have to say, it looks really nice! Thank you all for making this happen. At the moment I'm single and looking for your average nice...
