    How to communicate in a poly relationship

    This is so an issue in my life as well. My parents live close by but mom still works and dad has too many anger issues to be considered a responsible babysitter. They just stick him in front of the TV so I have stopped asking. N's mom is a recovering alcoholic that I never feel quite comfortable...

    Given all those endorsements, maybe I'll join then. Always up for new friends and networking. Nikki! Coming to live in my tiny town then? Maybe we'll bump into eachother.

    OKC in the house?

    I meant meeting people for dating purposes through the internet. I'm not into the internet dating thing. Just as I'm not into going out meeting people for the purpose of dating. I do talk to people through the net as well as in person if they happen to cross my path and we get along. But never...

    OKC in the house?

    I keep going to the site and thinking about it. Hubby is egging me on. But I'm just not into the internet thing. I'm not into the going out and looking for a relationship thing at all. I'd much rather just meet people naturally and see what develops.

    The birth of poly relationships

    Pretty much. Just do what most successful couples do. Go with the flow, be honest, and take it at a comfortable pace for everyone. Adding more people complicates things, but the dynamics of all healthy relationships center around communication, trust, honesty, and caring about the other(s) involved.

    Call out for survey participants :)

    Hi and welcome. I'm sure you'll find plenty of willing participants here. So long as you change the names to protect the not out. I'd answer questions, though I am not with anyone but hubby at the moment. We were a V with another woman and are open to others but not searching them out.

    The birth of poly relationships

    As I said, my husband and I started off open. Maybe we weren't technically single,nas we were each dating others. But we didn't consider either of us were "joining" an existing relationship, since I didn't know his other gf and he didn't know my other bf. The distance factor made that simply...

    How to communicate in a poly relationship

    Hehe. Careful when the kid is over your shoulder RP. Mine is just a year younger than yours and started sounding out "S...E...X...isssss....ssseee..." Before I closed the window and went to play lego blocks. Soon we won't be able to verbally spell out our "dirty" thoughts in front of them...

    The birth of poly relationships

    My husband and I started off non-monogamous. He had a girlfriend (long distance and also non-monogamous) and I was his "secondary". I was also in a long distance non-monogamous relationship. And I was dating casually. It was the first time in my life I'd had open relationships as I was a serial...

    A bit lost...where do I begin?

    Welcome to the forum. I think the best thing you can do is just talk to her and be honest. One of the reasons my husband and I opened to poly was my bisexuality. He doesn't want me to be with other men (nor do I want to be), but he understands that, both physically and emotionally, he cannot...

    Update on the Poly Process!

    I'm glad everything is going so well. I laughed at the "reclaiming." My husband and I had some vigorous "reclaiming" ourselves when I'd come home from the gf's. ;)

    Hi I'm new

    As can a man and a woman. The husband and (ex)gf used to gang up on me and tease me all the time. Not that we didn't do the same to her or she and I do it to him. It's all part of he love and the fun.

    Long info dump vent...

    Honey. It isn't pathetic to be in pain. But it is probably something you will have to let go. Expressing attraction and emotion and being able to act on that are different things. As he said, he can't help but think "she's married". If his wiring is completely against being able to handle a poly...
