    I don't know what to do.

    Hi Naomi, I don't have any answers for you. I do have a few things for you to think about. One thing you could do is get yourself into a contemplative place and see what your pain is telling you about yourself. I would suggest dropping your effort to keep things fair between you and your...

    defeated

    Re read the reply you wrote to me where the first word is "Snowmelt". That is you being defeated or down. Re read the reply you posted that starts with something like "I don't like to think I'm weak" - or something like that. That is you being defensive, which is UP compared to defeated. The...

    defeated

    I read your post several times to get all the detail. My impression of you in your post is a person who is very uncomfortable in your current situation, but chooses to stay in it, inspite of the fact you know you are not going to get what you want from your husband. That is your choice. You...

    defeated

    You and your husband are in a codependent relationship with each other. Your codependent relationship with him drew in another codependent person. The sentence I quoted clearly shows that. In your case, neither of you really know what you want. Both of you have been trying to please each other...

    New and rather lost...

    Why is this unfortunate? Whether its uncomfortable for you to go there, or its hard for you to find quiet time, inside yourself is the only place you're going to find your answers. I would first look at why you see looking inside you as an unfortunate thing to have to do. I've have a lot of...

    New and rather lost...

    It sounds like you're experiencing a lot of different emotions, and you're not sure what they are trying to tell you about yourself. In other words, it sounds like you're not really sure who you are and what you want. You just "happen" to trip over your current partner 5 years ago and said to...

    Husband breaking up with GF, shift in poly-situation

    Let's say A and B are in a relationship. A is great at cooking. B isn't. B is great at fixing things. A isn't. A good balance of power here is an agreement that says B doesn't tell A how to cook, and A doesn't tell B how to fix things. Looking at only the "A doesn't tell B how to fix things"...

    Struggling with what I have a right to ask for

    Oops, butterfly137, for some reason I didn't read you whole post. I just did. I see a pattern. D is upset about your relationship with C the same way you are upset about C's relationship with his new girl. Your both complaining about lack of attention - from different people. You and D are off...

    Struggling with what I have a right to ask for

    I agree with BohenianMLHR81. It sounds like D is not being honest with himself or you, for whatever reason. He sounds like he wants a mono relationship with you, but something is preventing him from admitting it. Actions speak louder than words. His actions say he wants you to himself. My...

    Jealousy

    Hi Boh... I have had a lot of people do some pretty crappy things to me in the past. If you ask me what they are I won't tell you, because it won't help me make my point. I remember the moment of my life where I realized I had a choice to make. That choice was to stay angry or get over it and...

    Advice Badly needed...

    I previously posted a reply. It decided it was way too long. I'll give the much shorter version of the same thing here. I'm going to be blunt, but my intention is to help you see what I think is really going on. You are in a codependent relationship with your wife. That means neither of you...
