The men-folk have jokingly requested I mark my period on the house calendar ... At least, I think they were joking.

Ugh. That sounds familiar. I noticed a sore starting the next morning on this guy's mouth, and I asked if it was a cold sore. He said yes, and I asked why the hell he went down on me! His response? "Oh, it's fine." Um, no. It wasn't then, before I knew I'd contracted it, and it sure wasn't...

This is one site that has helped me tremendously with figuring out herpes: http://www.herpes-coldsores.com/herpes_simplex_1_and_2.htm I am one of those lucky people that contracted HSV 1 from oral sex. *sigh*

Now I just have to not be nervous about the coworkers who will show up that DON'T know! I'm lucky that most of the people invited I have, at worst, no interest in. There are no ill feelings about anyone. I'm hoping that most people just won't care! :)

I don't know ... I'm holding out for a nice piece of cheese! *chitter*

*snicker*

Hrm. That's actually the best survey I've seen linked here. Most are just terrible at taking into account the huge variety in poly relationship structure.

Wow! That's fantastic! It sounds like Davis is an internal processor, just like my Indigo. I remember when we first opened our relationship, it was only to other women. A couple of months later, I made an offhand comment about guys and he said, "Yeah, go for it. I realized that since you're bi...

Yeah, I'll swat him for you.

Then given your carelessness and inconsistency in the past, you will need to be especially firm in the "nothing going on" direction. No breaks/lunches together, leaving together, arriving together, etc. If you give people even a little bit, the rumours will persist. Or, accept all this as the...

I think no one is responding because your relationships sound successful, so who are we to tell you to change what ain't broke? The only issue seems to be the coworkers, which has nothing to do with the relationships. I wonder if the interest is sticking around because your story is not...

Actually, I have been jealous. But I reflected on the feeling for at least ten seconds and realized my jealousy was caused by a lack in our relationship (in those particular cases, not treating ourselves to enough quality time) and not by anything you were doing with her.

Buh???? Platonic love is non-sexual and non-romantic. Since polyamory is being open to or cultivating more than one romantic relationship (ethically, of course), I don't understand this "platonic polyamory" you're defining. In the scenario you've given, I'm sure that making words up to...

This is the second time today I've read you using the term platonic primary/secondary. Can you explain what you mean? Because to me, it's sounding suspiciously like trying to pass off friendship as a special subtype of poly.

A friend and former coworker is having a summer BBQ for work friends, with SOs invited. I confirmed attendance and she asked if Indigo and Mr. A were coming also. It felt really nice to be accepted and I thanked her for remembering. :)

Sure it's possible. Is it something I would watch? Probably not. I have lived through my own "poly dilemmas", currently live with two partners, and when that's not enough poly in my life, I read and post here. Sitcoms make light of things (situational comedy). I think there needs to be more...

I think truth, even for those of us who are "successful" (however one chooses to define success) lies somewhere in the middle. Mags really hit the nail on the head. You can read and imagine and prepare, but it's still freaking overwhelming at times. And it's what you do at that point that I...

Don't forget YMMV, which I see often on here. (Your mileage may vary.)

Nah, sounds loverly!

"Indigo must be a saint." Well he is, but not for the reasons you think.
