I'm sorry about Butch's heart condition. Yes, it's difficult being the "temporary transition" woman, isn't it? Thanks for the insight. I am now reading your blog because I find some similarities in my situation... I'm sorting through all my clothes, making up a box of sweaters I'll be too fat...

Married straight female.

It's just that conventional doctors can sometimes be pretty unaccepting of their kind of lifestyle, and telling the doctor might cause more problems and angst than it prevents. I guess it really depends on the doctor.

I talked to Sven online today! We chatted about casual things, but it was still nice to feel like things haven't broken down between us. It's a lot of stress to see if I can maintain something with him; often, I just think I should take a deep breath and accept things the way they are. I'm...

I don't really know what to say. Lucia, you and your husband seem very unhappy together to me. Is that right? I think you're wondering if his behaviour will change if you agree to a polyamorous relationship. I don't know if it will. But his behaviour to your seems disrespectful and mean, and I...

Hi all--I started a thread in the Introductions section, but thought that if I was going to discuss things with you guys, I'd start a thread here. Here's my back story: http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?p=99603#post99603 I suppose I should name my cast of characters. I will choose...

You know, I'm currently in an "open" relationship, not one that's describing itself as poly. And what you've described is sort of our rules about what we do with other people: sex talk, sexting, hot pictures, keep it sex-related, don't say the l-word. Fuck buddies, not relationships. I recently...

Hmm... It sounds like there was something that you really wanted to hear from somebody, but didn't. What did you want people to tell you? What advice would you give yourself? This is worth thinking about. You reacted pretty strongly to the few responses you've received, and you seem to think...

It's true that one of the good things about being married is that you have someone to be grumpy with. :) But what kind of grumpy do you mean? What does he do when he's grumpy? And no, this isn't a "normal" way for poly people to behave. From what I can tell, poly people tend to value respect...

And sorry. I can see now from reading some other threads that this might fit better in the "New to Polyamory" section. This is less of a "Hi, how are you guys?" post and more of a tl;dr description of my situation. Mods, feel free to move it if I put it in the wrong section, with my apologies...

Oh, my, that's very serious! Do you want to talk with us about that? You don't deserve to be abused. I hope you know that.

Hi Annabel-- I've enjoyed reading this whole thread and your experiences. I'm pregnant myself, and I have a loving husband and also a guy on the side. Things are uncertain with this guy and it's been interesting to see how your relationships are working and changing as you add a baby to the...

I do a similar thing, OP! My, um, sex friend and I are involved in a club that my husband has little interest in. I think I was too obvious in group meetings, looking dreamily at my friend's gorgeous face and flirting a little too much, and often trying to stay late if the meetings were at his...

Hello! I am a woman in her late 20's and I've been with my husband for 8 years, married for two. We have an open, not polyamorous relationship... or at least, that's what we've been calling it so far. But the thing is, lately it feels like we've been veering in a poly direction, maybe, and I...
