Hi Ruby, I just read the thread about needing a decent book. I will for sure read the rest of the thread but I am the same as you, "less about sex, more about love and connection" and about helping your husband understand. I was hoping that maybe we could connect, I'm alone out here and...

Hello everyone, havent been here for a while. Life got busy, marraige troubles and emotional drain have kept me. November 14th will be our 23rd anniversary and things are not good. I came out to my husband in March. After a long separation. He left for three weeks. There are blowups, crying...

Precisely Athena!!!! That was my first thought...assumes much and seems to make himself an authority when clearly he is not!!

I wonder if this guy is poly.

My friend and I were discussing polyamory. He posed this question and I believe the experience of others not so new to polyamory would have a wealth of insight. Thanks! When it comes to polyamorous relationships, is there a risk of simply starting over with another partner when an earlier...

I would like to converse with you if you would like also.

Past, present and future convoluted. Past needing to have greater understanding created, forgiveness and healing. Present needing to be understood and not mixed up with the past. Future, obviously, yet to be determined in it's entirety, created for the good of all. Finding it extremely...

I deleted these posts... sorry

Wow spodder! What a treasure you have found! I can very much appreciate and connect with this... save for the ending... thank you for sharing with us!

I totally understand what you are saying! In the past I had "emotional affairs," Even long into them, I still had that extra energy and love, and was able to hold a much more positive "image" of my husband. I just felt soooo FULL of love, and it outpoured from me so easily. I never understood...

LOL... yessss.... understood! :p Not my cup o tea... and still poly green...

I had one for a couple of years and recently deleted it because I met someone I wanted to show I was commited to us developing a friendship. Funny, I had been approached several times from couples and it freaked me out... I guess I was thinking they were looking for threesomes rather than a poly...

WOW!! Brilliant observation! The thought that came to me when I read that is... that the universe expressed itself through the creation of humans ... "humans are the universe becoming aware of itself"... would be like coming full circle wouldnt it? Just a thought, sometimes there is no real...

Awww BriarRose... you did not derail the thread only added to it!! I'm glad you got something out of what GroundedSpirit had to say! Blessings! :) Thanks so much for your words of wisdom redpepper:) This very short journey of actually embracing (facing) who it is I am has given me a sense of...

Like a Volcano Like a Volcano Internal gurgling of emotions bubble from within… Bursting out and frothing forth from the smallest sting, Like a volcano Hotter than fire, burning the hearts of those we know and love Oozing into the cracks of their empty places Like a volcano Complacency...

This is an old thread but being new here and exploring this wonderful forum I would like to comment. For some time now I too have felt that there is a "shift" happening. Significant to me personally, the awareness that has enveloped me has brought me to where I am now. Difficult to express in...

These statements lead me to ask if you're aware of the reasoning you use certain terms like "own", "property", "restriction"? "Never going to believe"? The fact that you've "always known" and use of absolute terms leads me to wonder if and what seemed to instill poly in you... seems an innate...

Boldness Good morning you all! Thank you so much for the words of wisdom & encouragement, they have been salve to my heart. Disarmedheart my heart goes out to you...*hugs* Kept myself open despite fearing the blows, let myself cry lots even when I didn't want him to know, prayed on my knees...

I am working very hard at this point to show him how much I love him without giving up on the truth about myself. The realization that my rationale from the past to persue a relationship outside of marraige is not correct and helping him to understand and BELIEVE that realization and what I have...

Those are my choices. I've been married for 22 yrs 4 months. We've been separated for a while now and during this time he allowed me another relationship which I had to end because he was insecure and decided to use religious/moral beliefs to guilt and shame me. On top of that he betrayed me in...
