As a secondary friend wanting to be friends with you while you already have several primaries, I feel I must ask Mono if this would be ok and if he needs some time to think it over. After all, coming into the friendship, I must move at the most uncomfortable person's pace. ;) Ah hell, on second...

He could just be processing. Or he could be scared. Of he could be in trouble with his gf. I've had open and honest and fast paced discussions cut off by other events (in your case the friend's house). It can be really hard to figure out how to start them back up. It can be even harder if you...

Oh, and if that fails, turn around, bend over, and wiggle your butt at them. My son almost always gets a laugh out of an eye roll with that trick!

Welcome. Good luck

Stick out your tongue, put your fingers in your ears, wave your hands and go ppppllltthhhh :p (You can learn the best responses to cold shoulders and mean responses from a 5 year old.) I'd hang with you anytime.

I'm not usually mean-spirited. But, honestly, if they're jealous or envious, let them go out and find their own (person, place, thing) that makes THEM happy. I'm not saying I'm never envious or jealous, it's human nature. But I get over it pretty quickly and DO something about these feelings. In...

Welcome to the forum. I'm trying to understand. Do you feel you are genuinely poly or do you feel your wife's possessiveness is driving you away from her and towards a more open relationship? Would you be happy in a monogamous relationship with your wife if she would simply relax and let you...

I'm somewhat similar to you Mono, but for different reasons. Part of me would like to have more close intimate friends (used in JRs way) but I tend to find myself being somewhat used by many. I have a personality which drives me to do all I can to make others happy. Unfortunately, many people...

I'm actually pretty sexually liberal. So long as no one is being used, abused, or hurt, it's fine with me what goes on behind closed doors. It's only in regards to me and my lover(s) that I feel I have any right to have opinions and comfort zones.

Thank you, Mono! My husband actually considers himself poly, as he is capable of deep loving relationships with more than one person. My gf was actually his ex from years before, and also his best friend. He spent years trying to set us up, because he loved us both so much and he felt we'd be...

I'm ENFP. I don't know if that means anything as far as being poly.

Welcome to the forum. I don't know how to advise you as it all just sort of happened for me after years of trying to be mono. But I will tell you from experience, a third only shakes things up for so long before the relationship becomes just as normal and every day as being in a monogamous...

Let's see.... Our rules are agreed upon. They are also flexible. I am more poly than my husband. We have agreed that, because I am bisexual, I am allowed to date other women, but no men. Sex with another woman is allowed only after he has approved of her, and she and I have established a true...

JR-Look again, he only copy pasted what Quath wrote.

Absolutely. I have a second child on the way and am recently unemployed due to the pregnancy. I worry about stress, money, space, not being able to give my 100% to the husband and both kids, let alone ever have another relationship. But I know that as time goes on it will all settle into its own...

I was always poly, emotionally. But I stayed in mono relationships because it was expected. I was a serial monogamist, going from relationship to relationship because no one ever wanted to leave it open. And I often cheated when the feelings for someone else emerged. And then broke off the...

So we shouldn't expect to hear from the three of you for about a month after this hmmm? hehe

Oddly, it's more normal to me too. Yet I couldn't even begin to tell you why. I believe it's just something ingrained as I don't have a specific reason for it. Damned societal "norms" and conditioning. Good luck RP.

Welcome

I'm an omnivore. I'm very open-minded and accepting, but not an activist. And I'm not anti-capitalist.
