    Am I just overlooking the edit button for posts? It was stated above that the edit window was one hour now - but I tried to correct a typo on a post that I had posted 39 minutes previously, and was not able to find a way in which to do that.

    Items that Don't Exist for Poly People

    Kevin wrote: I read A LOT during my transition to poly - probably around 2 dozen books that are directly about poly - or poly related, definitely all the "major" titles. And, I completely agree with Kevin that there is a need for some really good books on "poly living'". Opening Up...

    Toxic Monogamy Culture

    Which was my intent. :) I did appreciate Karen's comments on codependency, though - and very much agree with the issues inherent in looking to others for fulfillment, rather than working on on selves. Or as Galagirl put it - I wonder if codependent thinking is more common in monogamy...

    The Polyamory Song

    This came across one of the FB poly groups that I monitor - just for fun, I thought I would share. :) Not a musical masterpiece, but good for a smile. (Apologies if this has been posted before - I seem to recall having seen this somewhere, but not sure when or where).

    Toxic Monogamy Culture

    My long distance girlfriend, Wendy, posted this on their local FB group - so thought I would share here as well. Some interesting thoughts. "What I mean when I say "toxic monogamy culture": the normalization of jealousy as an indicator of love the idea that a sufficiently intense love is...

    Yes, looks like I spoke too soon. The site was running at normal speed during my last post, but has been slow all day today. The problem seems to be intermittent - either due to the new software or server issues. I am accessing other sites (I have high speed fiber optic access) at normal speeds.

    My observation as well - the site was definitely running slow this morning and last night - but seems to be back to normal now. Thanks, tech team! :)

    I don't have a magic number for how long the edit window should be - but I do know that I often will reread my posts after a few hours of other activities, and then find typos and other corrections that need to be made. So, if not 12, I would suggest a few hours anyway - just from my perspective.

    frustration

    I've seen this article recommended a couple of times lately - and I've read through it a couple of times. I do believe that it could prove very helpful for many traditional mono couples who are considering opening their marriage - as certainly many mono couples are deeply entangled. For those...

    Hello Forum, New to poly after 13 years of marriage

    I am far from an authority on this also - but my wife and I (neither of us previously into kink) found this observation to be essentially true in our case - when we decided to experiment with kink for a bit. We just could not really obtain a D/s energy (either way) - because of the overriding...
