In addition to what everyone else has said, triads aren't the only type of poly there is. The most common type of poly is network poly. For instance, I am in totally separate relationships with my husband and my boyfriend. They've met each other, we've hung out as a group, but there's nothing...

Yeah, after I wrote it, I realized I was probably wrong. I should have just answered the one I was sure about :).

I think the good and well issue only matters if you say "I'm doing good" versus "I'm doing well," but I could be wrong. Doing good implies doing good works, like charity (or Superman :)), while doing well refers to your health. "I'm good" doesn't have the same implication of action that adding...

The one that currently annoys me the most is "your welcome" instead of "you're welcome," but that's because I see it multiple times a day at work when I talk by instant messaging to the co-workers I provide help desk services to. Tinwen, it's supposed to be "if I were being honest" and "that...

This is a big thing for me too, though admittedly mostly because I've felt so judged by people who have this sort of belief that your partner and everything they do or enjoy should be overseen and approved by you for most of my marriage, even the 17 years we were monogamous. My husband has...

I'd ask if your thyroid is at the high end of normal (since normally they measure thyroid stimulating hormone, but check to be sure). It can still cause issues if it's within the normal range but high for you, at least it does for me.

We used to own a mini cooper and it's a really fun car. The only reason it worked for us, though, is because we also owned a Toyota Corolla, which we used for anything our family of four was doing that required being in the car for more than 30 minutes. It was a little humorous to see my teenage...

Like Kevin, I used to be LDS too. I was born and raised in the church. My husband's family joined the church when they moved back to Utah from California when he was 7, mostly because his mom believes a whole mishmash of things, so isn't tied to one specific religion, and the LDS church was the...

I hope Kevin knows the last line was said in jest and knows I like and respect him. As for the rest of it, I came back to this feeling like I had posted like Marvin the paranoid android from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "life, don't talk to me about life." I hadn’t meant to but apparently...

I don't think we're moving into dangerous territory, I think we're trying to make sure that we don't paint anyone with a broad brush. Both CTF and OnceandFuture seem to be of the opinion that if you're poly, every viewpoint you offer is only going to be positive and we're never going to say that...

Also, you need to consider the opposite of what you pointed out when you said that the people who try to open up to mono/poly and fail are unlikely to stick around here. How many people are living successful mono/poly lives who don't have the desire to come to a poly message board and discuss...

If I remember correctly, OnceandFuture, while people may not have told you that being mono/poly is next to impossible (I don't remember what people told you at the beginning), people did respond to your posts about how the Signal was handling things with advice that poly probably wouldn't work...

I hope that I didn't come off as being against polyfi in that thread. I'm against anyone who looks down at others for not being exactly the same as them, which some people who are polyfi do, but so do others on the opposite end of the spectrum, as we've discovered on that thread. I have always...

It is living a lie if the person who is poly feels it is, regardless of whether you or I or anyone else does. The op responded to Galagirl's suggestion that maybe just having his girlfriend know he's poly and accept that and remain closed would be enough with a reply that he doesn't think that...

Do you feel it would have been better if the original poster had just left his long-term girlfriend without having the poly discussion, since he's been really clear that he's tried to keep the fact that he's poly secret, since he knew it would be hard for his girlfriend to understand, and feels...

That doesn't surprise me (since they all seem like big geeks, that's the impression that I get from their videos anyway) but I wonder how you'd play it too.

I've been thinking about linking you to this video since I read this post, but I had to head to work before I got to and then kept forgetting to do it when I wasn't busy. OK GO is one of the favorite bands of a couple of people in our polycule. They do amazingly intricate videos for a lot of...

I've had a recurring dream lately about being in my early twenties and finding out that I didn't really graduate from high school, that I was missing an English credit no one told me about and that my college wouldn't let me graduate without a high school diploma (I'm considering going back to...

Cunningminx's book is also available in paperback, according to Amazon.com.

I know that Cardinal wasn't taking the stance of polyfi being the only real way to do poly, which is why I added the part about not picking on him, that his wording was what sparked the thought. However, that may have been easy to miss, since it was an aside. I have absolutely no issues with...
