I agree with GalaGirl, from the perspective of a man. There isn't anything deceptive about bringing the conversation up as "weird" or an unusual occurrence, and wanting to explore thoughts you each might have. My advice though, rid yourself of any expectations you might have. Its ok to be...

Hello Aquamarine, I am Jim. I'm pleased to see you posting here on the forum. I have read Kay's posts and i think both of you are proceeding responsibly and with care for all involved. :)

Willow, This is awesome news! Congratulations to you and Bf and big kudos to your husband for getting outside of his own previous "limitations." It's always so encouraging and validating to hear stories like this. Thanks for updating us! :)

You're welcome. I agree. I'd lobby for a definitionally uniform society. Polyamory thru universally monodefinitive lexicon. Though, i suspect I am being theoretically liberal while ideologically unilateral and proponentially promoting polyfrustration, potentially. :)

a transparent object is one that lets light pass through with no shadows formed eg. clear window , transparent glass a translucent object lets only some light go through (not all)and forms a shadow that is very light eg. bathroom window an opaque object lets no light pass through and...

Stay strong Lizzy! :)

You are, after all, a human being with feelings that matter. I really feel like this defeat by default mentality is affecting your self esteem. Everyone deserves to matter in romantic relationships. If you don't matter, run. Good luck. :)

Another example might be: his OSO is in crisis and blowing up his phone on "your time." Is that consequence-worthy? Or he is in crisis in his relationship with his OSO and needs someone to talk to (you) on your time. Is that consequence-worthy? These are real-world instances you need to...

hello! Hello A, Welcome to the forum. I am Jim. I look forward to reading more of your contributions. :)

Limbo sucks. It's agonizing on everyone involved. Distance can be a good thing to clear the head and do some prioritizing, organizing, and reflection. I do hope it works out for the best, and it is good to hear that though things are up in the air regarding TJ, you and DK are communicating...

I think one more question to be asked of your SO is: She is clearly poly. Is living poly a hard condition or a want? Some poly folk choose to live mono and do so happily. Best of hopes for you in this tough situation.

In our relationship, we each commit to giving each other the not-always pleasant truth. We also each commit to trusting the other to accept that truth. We then commit to coming to agreements in how we proceed, equipped with the truth. For us, that commitment is more challenging, but also more...

Hi DaisVinci, I'm Jim. Welcome to the forum. Your situation is very interesting and complex. Please understand I'm not picking on you or casting negativity your way with what I'm about to say. Your virginity caught my eye. I imagine "new to poly + LDR + the entangled past of your man with his...

Wow...

Hi Lilla! I'm jim. Reading stories like this one makes me happy. I'll echo Phy in that analyzing and thinking are common and normal for some of us. :)

Hi Sterling, I'm jim. Welcome to the forum and congratulations on a successful start of this new relationship! I'm certain challenges will develop, but it sounds to me as though the three of you are handling things very nicely so far. :)

I think this is one of the most overlooked components in troubled poly relationships.

Ego, Nance and I are in your and Pol's corner as a couple. Each of you taking ownership of your actions and feelings is important and promising. It's clear that you both love each other and that you both feel your marriage is important. I don't believe it's productive for either of you to beat...
