Oh, hey, you know I didnt realize how long ago you posted that thread until just now...haha sry to comment on old news! :)

Quote: "If we make each other happy we shouldn't stop seeing each other." "You make me happy, don't I make you happy?" If I were you, trying to get to the bottom of this, know that questions in reply to questions are usually either defensive, or curious. These questions seem both defensive &...

"Why can't you let me worry about that?" Apparently he does not view you as HIS primary. You see, if he did, (in my opinion) then you would be a part of or have some influence on the decisions he makes about relationships, or anything that you both do. by the way, to put it in...

hey glad you found this forum :) Quote: "It won't hurt anybody if they don't find out." From what I have read, what you are trying to say is that yes, it will hurt someone. It hurts your feelings to be secretive & lie to others & have to hide your relationship. I think that is what you...

hey just want to say hi, & my boyfriend lets me do most of the typing/chatting, as he does talking on the phone because he is more comfortable that way. We both do video calls. Anyways sometimes I just have an account that I let him read, sometimes we have our own profiles, but we are such a...

Oh, I have faith in you, + this is a good forum Hey, Im just going to say whats on my mind because, I promise you, I have been in this situation before. I waffled for a great long time because I was afraid & I was ashamed and I was confused. It felt so great when I made the choice to talk...

This blog is really inspiring! Thanks for writing about your story. I find myself agreeing with a lot of the things you two feel. Your situation & how you make it work is really interesting to me because I hope to create a similar situation some day. Best wishes to you all

In my opinion... this is just my opinion guys I believe what you desire is for him to act like a grown up so that you can stop being "mommy" & start feeling "sexy" & relieve you of the stress & reassure you that he is capable of taking care of things on his own. Whether or not he has...

Quote: "However, the Christian bible technically doesn't restrict polyamorous relationships either....." Thanks for that, exactly my thoughts. In the way I was taught & from what I have read (growing up a Christian) the most important things the Bible addresses & Jesus addresses over & over is...

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story.

I meet partners mainly from other friends or in random public places. I met my partner at a Friday night Magic the Gathering card shoppe/bookstore.

I thought I would expand on this question.... 6. Why pursue polyamory despite it being relatively stigmatized in our society? There are lots of benefits even if you don't even factor in the love, although it could be argued that other people & roles in a person's life could offer to fullfill...

1. What are the set of ideologies/ideas that made you pursue polyamory? Equality is very important to me, and to me, polyamory embraces this ideal. Personal growth is also very encouraged when in an ethical polyamorous situation, it is truly amazing! Spiritually, I know that by challenging...

enjoying reading your threads & I like your quote :)

You and Rob are also at risk. For example, since Bud is not communicating about affairs or sex with Sally, who is to say that she is not also 'cheating' or practicing non-monogamy without Bud's knowledge? I find this a possibility since you say "she knows," but it is still not discussed in the...

I got this from wikipedia..... Polyfaithful relationships are closed in the sense of closed and open marriages, in that partners agree not to be sexual outside the current members of the group. New members may generally be added to the group only by unanimous consensus of the existing members...

This is pretty much the best description that matches how I feel. Usually when I care about someone I can feel all of those 'flavors'. As though they were an extention of myself. maybe use the word "happy" as a root to come up with another descriptor? hmm now all I can think of is the word...

I guess I feel like I shouldnt have to explain to every random person I introduce my friends/lovers to 'why I decided' to be friends or date them. It seems like a conversation about the complexities of my inter-connected relationships is far too informal for a formal situation where just...

"We don't use labels, we simply describe things and like to have accurate terms for descriptions. We understand that the words we use to describe things don't force any particular behaviors on us--they simply describe what we do." I understand that using labels for relationships while chatting...
