    Change in religious beliefs and being / becoming poly

    I find this very interesting because I am currently questioning faith/religion....but at a time when im considering NOT being poly. But I'm not turning back to Jesus either. I was raised my strict fundamentalist Christians (still are, my dad at least) and my adulthood didn't believe most of it...

    I suppose it serves to find out if we want to be together. I offered to work on the marriage though not feeling attracted to him, he asked for time to work on himself first. its confusing...I suppose I've been confused since this all started over a year ago. My friends think I should probably...

    flagging belief in poly

    Thanks for sharing Jane!! I did discuss it with Nudge and we agree for just right now, to be re-evaluated later, he would continue to look for and pursue new interactions with people but keep it non romantic/sexual for the time being. So even if he wants to meet new women, they would have to...

    Trying to move on

    wow....so I want to give you advice but am not sure where to start. I wondering if the therapist wanted poly people to discuss compersion with you...the idea that you can be happy someone you love is in love, it in turn brings you joy. But I feel like this would be extremely hard for you...

    flagging belief in poly

    Yeah, pretty much :) nice summer thanks. Though im not 100% I want to drop romance with spouse, or that I want mono with BF. On the bit about not dating other people, the reason I wont ask him is he is seeing no one besides me, so its not fair to be working on relationship with my spouse and...

    flagging belief in poly

    I've thought of you Dag cause I know you have co-primaries. Im guessing the difference for you is the guys totally know and are on board with being co-primaries/husbands however you want to call it :) I don't think my spouse has really thought about, until now, how I now have co-primaries...

    flagging belief in poly

    I could work that, he'd be pretty upset about it. While Im ok if he doesn't want romance with me and want to be his friends, he seems to be of the mind he doesn't want my friendship if we don't have romance

    How to re-energize primary relationship?

    reading through.... I have to say you might want to move on. Ive supported someone in this manner for 11 years and it only gets hard and you only get more resentful. We have kids to be watched, so I give him leeway. but it doesn't make it that much easier.

    How To Contain The Green Monster

    That sounds rough, I hope things are better now and he came home and reassured you. It sounds like he might not be respecting your relationship/needs like you would like him to and perhaps you need better boundries. The dinner thing would bother me too, text/call if you'll be late. My spouse...

    Polysaturation?

    for me, two with my current set up. My husband and bf are pretty equal and I spend so much time with them I couldn't sustain anymore. Perhaps a FWB would be nice, but it would have to be someone who didn't mind it would be very occasional and casual. Maybe three if I weren't so deeply...
