    This is a lot of work. (TP's story, when she feels like updating)

    I think he's living with us ... It occured to me yesterday that Mr. A didn't go home after his last visit. Not in a bad way. It's just, he came up and stayed. His clothes are here, his computer is here, his toiletries, etc. He still has to offically "move in" because his bed and whatnot is in...

    Polyamorous vs Promiscuous - A Question of Motive

    I'm sorry, I had to chuckle at your description of Mera at the cons and you comparing yourself to her. If you're going to compare yourself to her, (which you shouldn't, for the reasons others have stated) that really is the worst possible time, don't you think? Hehe! My boyfriend asked what I...

    New, want it to work, but struggling at times

    Regarding engagement and such, I catch myself sometimes thinking about these things with my boyfriend ... Then I remember that we can't. And that's kind of sad. But none of this has anything to do with hubs. :)

    New, want it to work, but struggling at times

    I think it's at least as likely that Trent just doesn't understand that things like this can operate in an above-board fashion. Some people can be tempted, in an NRE-induced state, to just pretend that if they don't ask, there is nothing wrong going on. Stick their heads in the sand, as it were...

    Two monos and a poly walked into a pub...

    Oh my ... Hahahahaha! :D:p

    How to ask his wife?

    True, if it's to get the ball rolling, or talk about things from his perspective. But I had the impression from Dani's post where she said that Tony wouldn't settle for 'fine' (sorry, multiquote is a pain in the ass on my phone) that he was actually ferreting out the wife's feelings for her.

    ladystuff

    I use a trimmer that's made for sideburns and whatnot. Works well. I find that the cut edge of those hairs doesn't bother me at all. Like you, if I shave, it's absolute agony when growing back in. Itchy beyond belief! For lube, I go with Slippery Stuff. There's a big bottle they make, it comes...

    How to ask his wife?

    These things tend to go much more smoothly if you can also learn to communicate directly with the person you need to talk to. Think about it right now-- Tony is going to talk to his best friend's wife about you getting involved with her husband. That's getting to be a messy game of telephone! I...

    Restless heart syndrome: cause or effect?

    Sorry for the double post, but something else has occurred to me. I think you might be confusing "starting out non-monogamous" with "taking my partner's needs into consideration" in regards to this "advantage" you speak of. Yes, I told Indigo in no uncertain terms that I wanted a non-monogamous...

    Restless heart syndrome: cause or effect?

    Actually, we were mono for a year and a half, open for 6 months, then became poly when I fell head over heels for my boyfriend. We still had to put in a LOT of work to make this possible. And I firmly believe Indigo put in even MORE work than me. And why? What's in it for him? Just because I...

    This is a lot of work. (TP's story, when she feels like updating)

    Thank you, both of you. I am not startled that he wants to be together for the long haul. I certainly feel the same. I guess I am startled that he says this, but sees real distance (we're currently only 2 hours apart) as no obstacle to this goal. Well, as a much much smaller obstacle than I do...

    Restless heart syndrome: cause or effect?

    As a general statement (not commentary on your particular situation), rules change all the time in marriage. Kids would certainly cause a lot of changes in a relationship. People also get sick, really sick sometimes. Jobs are lost, or the conditions around them change (perhaps requiring...

    Pregnant girlfriend. WTF now?

    Yeah, I've used these. They're quite neat! Expensive, but a fuckload cheaper than a kid. Was with a guy who hated condoms, so we would alternate between him being wrapped, and me using the female condom as a more cost-effective way of incorporating them.

    This is a lot of work. (TP's story, when she feels like updating)

    A little bit of everything, but especially what I've bolded. For me, when he moves to the middle of nowhere and we start being able to only see each other a few times a year, my love will ... not fade, but just become less IN MY FACE. I won't stop loving him, but I certainly won't be thinking...

    This is a lot of work. (TP's story, when she feels like updating)

    I did read NYCI's post and was certainly able to draw a few parallels to my own life! ;) He has said he will be able to eventually "settle down", as in not moving every year or two to the middle of nowhere. It would be major cities, and longer durations. We had all discussed relocation with...

    This is a lot of work. (TP's story, when she feels like updating)

    Thanks. We're going to get through it. I just had to come to terms with the fact that my dreams are not his right now, but we do share the dream of wanting to have a relationship together. :)

    This is a lot of work. (TP's story, when she feels like updating)

    It's not perfect and it's likely only for the next three months, until the next time Peace River is hiring. And then I have no idea what will happen to our relationship. :( It's been a rough week. Happy anniversary, Mr. A.
