    Division in the poly community

    The thing is, there ARE people who ignore those instructions on invites because they think that they are the special exception. The reason some people act like their friends with children have an "infectious disease" is because it is quite common for people who would seem to make "cool parents"...

    Division in the poly community

    Yes, I have noticed the same thing. People who have children usually cannot wrap their minds around those who don't want any. On the other hand, I never met a single child-free person who thought it was odd that others have decided to go ahead and reproduce. Funny isn't it how sometimes...

    Division in the poly community

    Hm, well I don't identify "as" poly and I have never been one to seek out company based on a commonality such as sexual, gender, or relationship orientation. Even when I go to nudist resorts, I go there because *I* want to be naked, not because I want to be around other people who like to be...

    Poly and I want a divorce but he does not...

    I guess this is one example of a "good reason" to invade someone else's privacy, n'est ce pas? We've talked about this on the forum before. I'm not trying to hijack; but i wanted to point that out. Some folks say there is never a good excuse to snoop on someone and i disagree. If protecting...

    When a Unicorn Plays in Other Pastures

    It is weird hearing you use the term "monogamy" to describe your triad. To me, this tells a lot about how you view the third partner. Very stereotypically unicorny. The two of you (the "we") plus her.

    It's ok redpepper - sometimes you get this shit, sometimes I get this shit. Just keep saying what you say and being true to yourself. It's all anyone can do.

    new wrinkle

    INdeed, when I read DH's first few posts ever I thought, "here is someone who is deeply hurt and has been given a raw deal in many ways, kudos to him for being strong, etc. etc." but when the shit hit the fan with the daughter finding the x-rated media starring her mother, it became clear that...

    Actually I was being sarcastic at you, but if you do decide to go that route, make sure you save all your receipts.

    Poly Women Respond

    Tell Sean first I said, "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOLOLULZ" Then tell him I would like to examine the data he gathered during this study and how he used it to arrive at this "conclusion". Then tell him I said "BWAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! LOLOLULZ". Then tell him to look at the YouTube videos of me 20...

    Open Mic Blast from the Past

    Some guy I just friended on FB recorded all these in the early 1990's. I guess they're more interesting to me than anyone else, but i think it gives a pretty good summary of the way I come across in person. So for anyone who doesn't appreciate the way I write - here's some more for you to not...

    What are your "What ifs"

    I usually wonder if any of that could possibly be as bad as cancer, kidney failure, or paralysis... so, no.

    You're welcome. Sometimes I call this "raining on your parade".

    a little bit of help

    You do not have to "give up on the dream"; just remember that it is a dream, and don't try to force reality to conform to your dream. That in no way says that you will never realize your dream, it just says to use your brain instead of your hormones to think.

    Where do you start?

    Correct. Not a form of non-monogamy. Could be a "structure" though. "Structure" and "dynamic" are to "relationship" as "particle" and "wave" are to "quantum physics".

    It does sound like you both had a nice time together on the 4th of July so maybe you could just have that memory and try to be friends going forward. Something more might come out of it further down the road.

    a little bit of help

    If i got a wall o' text like that with no paragraph breaks I'd probably be a bit freaked out too. Just sayin' :) Also, i didn't see anyone else mention this but maybe they have - when you have your first sexual experience with someone involving alcohol as the catalyst, a lot of times it just...

    Where do you start?

    It's not so much about "since when" but "by whom". The master/slave or dominant/submissive aspect could be considered as a "structure" by those involved.
