    Peace and joy and love

    I have, taped to my work monitor, my favourite fortune that I've ever pulled out of a fortune cookie. "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you." Fantastic typo, don't you think?? ;)

    Redpepper's journey

    I understand this. To get my space, I tend to occupy whatever bedroom is not in use, or the one that is "opposite" of whoever is home. So, if Indigo is home, I go to Mr. A's room, and vice versa. This way, I find that there's a little more thought from everyone involved that I'm in a space they...

    I used to giggle...

    That's a great story. I blame John Cleese for my love of twat. The word, that is. ;)

    Redpepper's journey

    I think some people really can't be quiet. I've been with guys who couldn't stop moaning, and my best friend's partner is a total screamer, even when it's inconvenient and she knows she needs to be quiet. For me, being "noisy" means turning off the filter that's in place keeping me quiet. (Ha...

    I used to giggle...

    I, for one, am all for more frequent use of the word twat. Hrm. Apparently, my iPad does not think this is a word. Must correct this.

    Redpepper's journey

    Yes, we have had to master the art of very quiet sex. As well, just up and leaving when one couple or the other wants alone time (not necessarily sexual) and being comfortable taking that. We also all have a policy of asking for our personal alone time when needed, like if we want the house to...

    going from a V to an N -- do I have to??

    I'm sorry Carma, I feel for you, but I think you've been adviced out at this point. Things cannot progress until the honesty issues are sorted out. You will keep coming back, asking variations on the same questions, over and over if you do not deal with this core issue. The only problem I can...

    Poly Vignettes: Sharing Success & Happiness

    Yes, I had the same experience, too. The first time they met, they both knew I was nervous. I made a bee line to get out of the house and they kept on chatting and even closed the door on me. It was funny. The first time Mr. A was over for dinner, this is what happened...

    That was lovely. Thank you. :)

    Grounded

    Ditto. It wounds like you both need to grow up a bit, sit down and have a real conversation about expectations, limitations (what he can handle, not what he's going to impose on you), and some good, old-fashioned communication instead of covering up feelings with just grounding someone. Unless...

    the story of a secondary

    I think it depends on how they feel about poetry. Me personally, I would rather a straightfoward explanation on what someone is thinking, and have in the past had problems with fighting the urge to run the other way when someone gave me a poem describing their feelings. That said, it's a very...

    is there a better word?

    Hahahaha ... Welcome to the forum. ;) There seems to be another issue at play here. Some want a different word to describe the different relationship with a (different) second person, yet still want everything to be absolutely, perfectly equal between those different partners. Not possible...

    Poly & depression

    I would be careful that he's not using his secondary label to allow himself to feel second-rate, thereby contributing to his depression. It's so easy to stick with the familiar.

    Approaching a non-poly person

    The second one. ;) Seriously, ask him out for a date. If he says no, you can get on with life. If he says yes, you can worry about new things.
