There's a great thread on here about children and polyamory, but not one that specifically addresses what you're asking. I have one child with my husband, and another on the way. We had a gf who was a friend of the family for years (before we had the first child) whom I actually found very...

Welcome.

:eek: Thank you. Just don't expect I'll always be a font of wisdom. Or even sanity. :p The work you've done with your family is your own and you should be very proud. You and your loves truly are an inspiration.

:D

I've told you about my dad's reaction to my husband and pregnancy. I didn't mention that he furthered it by telling the whole family I only KNEW N for three months before he "knocked me up". Caused alot of tension when I started introducing him around. And I didn't know that was dad's version of...

Sounds like mom is breaking down, slowly. Just trust that she loves you and your family more than she dislikes the idea of you being poly. And it sounds like you're able to disconnect from the pain and anger and still love her and treat her as your mom. Very inspiring. Keep it up. You're an...

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum and good luck. All relationships are and always should be a work in progress. If you stop working, they stop progressing. But you seem to be on the right track.

LOL. Nah! Go enjoy the Ray's! Not naked though.

Grrrr....As of last week I can't even sleep entirely naked anymore. I did this on weekdays and then put on PJs in the morning when N got up for work before our son woke up. But last week my boobs attempted to drown us in our sleep. So now I need a bra with those darned sponges in it just to not...

Berserker, I wasn't trying to insult you. But "the world OWES me" kinda strikes a nerve with me in a very fundamental way. The world doesn't owe you anything you're not willing to put time and positive energy into attaining. And, to do that, you have to let the anger go. It only leads to self...

We can only blame others for our issues and shit and baggage for so long. Once we reach the age of reason, that's it on free passes. It's not "but my parents did... blah blah." It's, "I choose to keep reliving what my parents did and leaking it all over my life." I was having this conversation...

The whole taking care of three children bugs me. What exactly does your husband do to help you out? If he wants to have another girlfriend, he needs to first be sure he is taking care of the family he already has. My husband is like a child sometimes, too. Often, actually. Since I stopped...

I can only speak for when I'm in an asexual phase. I love my husband with all my heart and want to share every aspect of my life with him, from raising our kids to paying bills to grocery shopping. I just have no interest in sex, though I'm still all about the cuddles. I have friends I like to...

Oh ok. I misunderstood. Gotcha now.

That's a strange and interesting perspective. I guess in my younger days I could identify with that. I never really had what you'd call "functional" relationships and I often found myself falling for others. But I didn't go poly-I cheated. Now though, N pretty much meets my needs (but I prefer...

I WAS a primary woman in a V relationship with my husband and gf. What would you like to hear from me, if anything?

Welcome fellow New Yorker!

I've always found myself loving more than one person, even against my own desire to do so. How did I know I wanted to pursue the poly lifestyle? I was already in love with my husband, then fell for my (now ex) girlfriend. And he, unlike any other person I was in a relationship with before...
