Uh ... I have no comment about her site. I was responding to you on *this* board in that you said: My response is based here on this board ... I don't like or agree with this "take" ... for the reasons I mentioned. Has nothing to do with her site. I was assuming you posted here for the...

And what about a middle ground? What about having an open and close relationship with your partner's family without taking it to the level that "the lines of distinction between the "old" pair and the "new" pair are completely blurred"? My relationship with my guy was not swinging. It was an...

But she did imply that if you don't feel that connection with your partner's kids, or want to reinvent yourself in your partner's life, then you're not really poly, you're just a swinger. The part that really bothered me was this: I very very VERY strongly disagree with that. It's certainly...

That kind of sent up red flags to me. Not around, as is "doesn't know," or not around as in "not involved," or...? I don't think all partners have to be involved equally, but it sounds like there's a potential lack of openness or honesty there.

Huh. Based on my own experiences, I don't necessarily agree with that story. :)

Hi Tahira, I've mentioned in another thread that I'm both new to the forum and new to a poly community like this, but I've been living a poly life for 2+ years and done a lot of reading and research. So take this for what it's worth considering the source. I've read back through some of your...

Hi ... thanks for the welcome! :)

I don't have kids, and don't plan to, but my guy has three kids with his wife. They just knew me as "Miss C" (we live in the South and all adult women are Miss Firstname, to be polite). I went on some family outings with them, babysat, spent time at their home, and they knew I was one of the...

Randomness is good. Geekiness is good. I even think political activism is good ... although probably harder to discuss calmly. :) From one newb to another ... welcome.

I'm a little late to the original post. I'm new to the board, and a bit new to being part of a poly community, so take this for what it's worth. I don't see why there *has* to be a sex/love relationship between Katja and Nils. If they like each other well enough, then I would say don't look...

Definitely. My day job is secure, but my side biz is completely stagnant - it's a luxury service anyway, so there's just not a market right now.

I'm not veggie now, but I was for several years in college, and I currently aim for 2-3 meat free days per week - both for health reasons and to be a little more environmentally responsible. Like redsirenn, I try to "focus on local farming, organic farming methods, and sustainability."

Hey everyone. I'm Cris, and I have been lurking around here, first as a guest, then as a very quiet registered newb ... and I finally decided to at least say "hi". I'm not sure exactly what to say to introduce myself. :cool: Basic facts: I'm female, 41, work in the tech field, no kids, one...
