(from guy, 51 % match, questions say he finds religion extremely important (I don't) and that he would never consider an open relationship. first one: 'hi' next one, 2 minutes later: 'hi hi' I'm holding my breath, will there be a third one that says 'hi hi hi' :D

Thinking, processing. It is so strange that a couple of months ago, the thought of losing C threw me into a complete panic. I obsessed about it, cried about it. I could not bear the thought of the emptiness and loneliness I would feel if he would be gone from my life. Now he IS gone, and there...

oooohh, that is such an interesting time, when one of your partners starts dating. I'm happy for you that you are feeling good and calm about it. It can be a great new experience where you really learn a lot of new things about each other. Nice things and not so nice things (the not so nice...

Thanks, all, for your kind words. I had good talks with both Ren and MrBrown today. It made me realize a couple of things: What I am grieving is not so much the way the relationship was the last couple of months - because it's been going downhill for some time. What I'm grieving is most of all...

Hello, Universe. Do you think you could stop throwing life lessons at me for a bit? I mean, I get it, I really do.. I have a lot to learn. But please, a little time to breathe before the next round, would be very nice. Things have been ... I don't know what to say. First of all, my dad is...

well, my husband suggested poly / open relationships for the first time about 11 (eleven) ELEVEN!!!! years ago. I told him he was out of his mind. so yeah... that's what I mean about being patient.

The defining characteristic for which "type" of relationship style you are most suited for seems to boil down to one trait (with two applications). So I would focus less on which relationship type you fall into and more on your personal approach to relating with your partner. 1. Authority and...

Hi, please don't get discouraged so soon. First of all: talk to your husband. talk bout how you feel and what you would want. Ask him how he feels. Tomorrow, talk some more, and the day after, talk some more. You seem to be doing a lot of assuming about how he will feel and how he will respond...

What's the difference between a 'great physical and emotional connection' and 'strong feelings'?

My date with BGuy was awesome. :) He is a very special guy. Soooo smart, very considerate, polite, careful, literate, a great conversationalist. And the sex is pretty hot :) Ah I can't stop smiling just remembering it. We had a nice email exchange the next day where we were more explicit than...

I have the house to myself, and right now, am waiting for BGuy to ring my doorbell. Am a little nervous and excited. But oh I love this feeling. Waiting for someone you don't know very well but are very attracted to. Not sure how the evening will go. Excited. Turned on. Happy anticipation. Love...

Last night, within one hour, I had - cuddled with Ren and reminisced a little about the Awesome Sex we'd had the night before - exchanged emails with C. about the possibility of doing a little photo shoot this weekend - we are both pretty good amateur photographers, and it's been always a...

When my husband and I first opened our relationship, I would (and did) have asked for the same kind of rules OP is requesting. Now, 4 years later, I am much more inclined to agree with london here... which is an interesting observation to me. You say you've been poly for a while, but (if I'm...

Amen to that. I would love it if my husband went on more overnights. In fact, he's planning a week away with his GF now, and today he said he was having second thoughts, and I was like NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I love being home alone. To me it's one of the major perks of poly.

The funny thing is, I don't even remember our first overnights, mine or my husband's, maybe because the first overnights took place when we were more in a kind of swingers mode. One of us stayed out all night, but it wasn't really all that important. Anyway, we've had numerous overnights since...

So, where can I read about this date, now that you no longer have your blog? :) I'm experiencing all sorts of different emotions these days. Sadness about saying goodbye to the way a relationship was, with hope for a new beginning. Very deep and loving feelings for my husband. And major...

Oh!!! and with all that love stuff, I forgot to mention the most important bit of news.... drumroll please.... I submitted an article on spec to a major magazine in my country. I'm a published writer of articles and columns, but they have been mostly about another subject. I've recently started...

So. Where am I? I didn't contact C for a couple of days. And I got the flu, which made everything seem so much worse, but was also good in a weird way - it made me able to really focus on myself, really look inside myself, and make decisions. I read back through this thread. I realized that...

Does K know that your wife would forbid you 2 to be more than friends? In my book, friendship consists of being emotionally involved, so I really don't get how she could approve of friendship, but not of emotional involvement. Please tell K about this! and let her make a decision about...

He has occasional ED, which becomes ever present when there's a condom in sight. I think female condoms would also be too big a pressure. This is very interesting and something I've been thinking a lot about the last couple of days. It's true my BF made a decision, but I am also making a...
