    Your most recent OKC messages. post em here!

    This just in while I was having breakfast. "Hi how are you?" I've got nothing else to do while chewing my cereal, so I check out his profile. He's single, looking for a single woman, says God is the most important thing in his life, thinks homosexuality is a sin, and would not consider an open...

    Jealousy, Monogamy, Travel, and Foreign?~

    Where ever you go on this planet - there will be ignorant, scared, narrow-minded people. Where ever you go on this planet - there will be wise, brave, open-minded people. Where ever you go on this planet, there will be people who are a little bit of all these things - depending on their stage...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    Still a lot of stress in my life, but love-wise, things are calm. I disabled my OKC profile. I'm going on a month long trip with Ren and I will take this time to really get away from everything, and during that, I don't want to be bothered by 'hi how r u' messages (or be tempted to check if...

    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    Hi Bluebird, just a thought.. I understand your jealousy completely. This might be a good time (so early into the relationship) to think about how much you want to share with partner/metamour and how much you want them to share with you? People in poly relationships have very different views...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    I was already feeling a little better. And then I got an email from MrBrown. We had agreed that I would contact him, but he said 'I felt the need to contact you'. He wanted to let me know he loves me, that he values and appreciates our love and friendship, that he wants me in his life, and that...

    Blogging, blogging, blogging.

    I'm so sorry. Breaking up is hard, and I can't imagine what its like to remain living with someone (and his wife!) after the break up. I've read your whole story, and I think this break up (while sad, and painful) was inevitable. Wishing you strength to cope with everything, and I hope...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    I don't share my real name until I know the other persons real name (and have verified it trough comparing pics with info that can be found online). Sometimes this in our email communication, sometimes it's not until the first date. My real name is quite unique and through it, you can find out...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    Things are a little better around here. I'm spending a lot of time on my own, with friends, with Ren. I did go on a couple of dates - fell into the 'I need someone to fill this black hole' trap. But realized soon enough I am NOT fit to date anyone right now. I had a lovely evening with my...

    Your most recent OKC messages. post em here!

    I recently met a guy I'm a 99% match with. He's smart, cute, funny, kind, caring, really poly, and is totally into me. And I felt zero chemistry. We hung out a couple of times as friends, I really really tried to like him as more than a friend... because he is, in every aspect, perfect for me...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    I'm out to most coworkers. If anyone I'm not out to would find me on OKC I would not really care. but - here's a thought. I can't really tell from your post if your male, female, straight or bi - but if you're a straight female, looking for guys, and your coworkers are straight females looking...

    Letting partners read your blog

    I would not be comfortable at all if any of my partners read my blog (or other posts). My husband knows I participate in a 'forum about poly' but has never expressed interest in reading here. For me, my blog on this forum, and other threads I post on, would lose all of its purpose if I knew...

    Wearing your wedding/engagement ring

    Where I live people are less obsessed with wedding rings I guess... I've had people (co workers who've known me and husband for years ) suddenly say: 'You're married?' I keep my ring on at all times. It's a narrow golden band on my ring finger. There have been times when I've been using that...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    IP - I know this, I just don't feel it right now. There's too much going on to see things realistically. My therapist says I'm suffering from depression - and while I myself don't think it is that bad yet, I know I have to be really careful and watch myself - I've dealt with this before...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    I think I really do need to take a break from dating for a while. I know I'm using the attention to fill a void.. which is not a very good reason for dating. I just feel so disillusioned with poly at the moment.. it is so hard to accept that the beautiful life I had, with my 2 lovers, who I...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    I did go, and had a very nice time.. lovely dinner, great conversation, a very nice goodbye kiss, plans to meet next week. But this morning I got an email where he said he and GF had talked it over and decided not to pursue an open relationship for now. looking back there were a couple of red...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    Thank you. I know I am being too hard on myself.. when I line up in my head (or tell it to friends) all that's happened to me this summer, I'm almost surprised I'm not MORE depressed. I think it's because I've never really experienced this.. And yes, I do need to take time to grieve. It's only...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    Thanks opalescent. I know that learning about myself is the reason that all this is happening... or really what I should say is that it's the reason I am making these things happen. Missing C terribly today and broke down this morning and wrote him an email where I tell him I miss him and love...

    "Hi. It says here you reply selectively". (that was the whole message) I wonder why it says that :D

    Not Dead Yet!

    I'm also ridiculously regular. Last year, I missed one period (completely). I freaked out because I thought I was entering menopause. Had about 12 regular, normal periods since then.. so it just seems to have been a weird thing my body did for no reason. How old are you? could it be the start of...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    Yes, this, very much this. Expectations need to be kept in check next time... Well, I did say something like:'you don't say what YOU want, am I the only one who gets to decide what's going to happen now?' I did think about making it more emotional but that is exactly what I don't want from...
