    Anniversary questions....

    I really think she should have her 'own' days and celebrations, not be drug along on our coattails.

    Family Functions

    why do they live with her parents? time for them to grow up and move out and then they can do as they please without explaining to anyone. Do you have your own place in that town? And if he's grown, why does he have to explain where he is to her parents?

    Family Functions

    i think it's ok and normal that you feel left out and that it seems unfair a bit. And i think it's ok to want a 'date' to an event--things are more fun when you share them with someone special. How many situations come up that only two of you could go to? for us, it's few. My 3rd would be a...

    What is the line between being selfish and communicating your needs?

    i think a good barometer (for me anyway) is asking myself 'how would i feel if the shoe was on the other foot?' If i'd (honestly) be ok with MY asking for a weekend away alone with one of our partners, then i'd have to be ok with them asking for it. If I would resent dh spending 6 nites out...

    Don't want to play anymore :(

    I was so amazed a couple of years ago when we were at a Roy Rogers in Joisey, and the guy in front of us turned around and kindly said "y\Youse guys can go ahead." I really only thought that was movie talk, not real dialect! And, sorry, but I don't pahk my cah eitha. But I do love a Fenway...

    BDSM discussion

    LR, I agree. I hate myself for not overstepping boundaries and being more forceful. Our friend kept most of this to herself. I knew about the financial abuse and the restrictions, but she didn't tell me just how sick she was. She was a very introverted and private person, secretive. She didn't...

    Don't want to play anymore :(

    I don't remember who brought it up in this thread, but I think a lot of women think about it. Statistically we live longer than y'all. But in this particular case, he will probably outlive her. A 20-year age gap is huge.

    Don't want to play anymore :(

    well, i think that if he took her to another country and promised to take care of her, then he is obligated to do so but not at the expense of his first family. I assume he knew of her disabilities and issues and asked her to move to him anyway. In our triad, my dh still works, i am retired...

    Grieving and Coping Help

    I think El is right. The girl is immature and not ready to settle down at any time. The insane jealousy should be a red flag as well as the sneaking and lying. Time to let this one go, honey.

    Don't want to play anymore :(

    And I really think you need to give his wife credit for even allowing your man to bring his mistress into her home. I know my dh's former would have never stood for that, and we didn't even try. Polyamory has to be agreed upon by all partners before the relationships start. It wasn't in our...

    Don't want to play anymore :(

    As I posted before, I sort of did what you are doing, although I stayed in the US. It's a hellacious nightmare at worst, and extremely stressful at best. I think you are very fortunate to have found a 'sister wife' who is so welcoming and, according to you, willing to make many concessions to...

    Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. Her mistress demanded the slave submit to her in all ways, socially, physically and financially, even though the slave had children of her own to take care of. The slave was just a regular working woman. She did clerical work and struggled to make ends meet. The...

    how to approach spouse over an open marriage

    for us, the most important thing is that we feel solid as a couple before we consider a third. If we're at all wobbly, we work on us and our communication. we also steer clear of other women as my dh feels he might not be 'safe' with other women. He has a propensity to confuse sex with love...

    Wrong Name!

    oh, yes. my beloved husband called me his ex-wife's name more than once (and once during sex...oh, yeah...he did). I cried and carried on and stomped and acted like a complete psychobitch over that slip of the tongue. The last time he did...I looked at him and said 'from now on, every time...

    Former Dom BF suddenly not a Dom nor poly anymore

    When I first stepped into the world of BDSM, I was convinced I was a submissive. I love strong, confident men. I like to cater to the pleasures of those men, in bed and out. Then one of the first dominants I ever dated said one day, "Darlin,' you don't have a submissive bone in your body." And...

    Is she playing games?

    there is also the view that (especially in light of the 'women like you' comment) that maybe she doesn't feel quite so open and upfront about what she is doing. anything out of the conventional sexual 'norm' is tainted with a certain stigma. Maybe she can't let herself call you her...

    BDSM discussion

    wow...i feel this is somewhat unnecessarily vitriolic. I am merely expressing my opinion and experience as well as what I have discussed with others in the bdsm lifestyle and what I have observed. I never intended to be condescending and apologize if my response came off like that. Many...

    BDSM discussion

    for those of us in the lifestyle, our relationships aren't play anymore than those of the 'vanilla' world are play or poly relationships are 'play'. As a mistress, I take the gift of submission as an honor and I take my responsibility toward my sub/slave very seriously. While fun IS a...
