LR, crochet is my soul's balm, too. I'm so sorry for your losses. I'm happy that things are going better now.

Well, you may regret making that offer, as I almost always have questions...none that I can think of right this second, though, as Easy has fallen asleep next to me and I want to ambush him! ;) Be back later...

This is a perfect demonstration of how my life is weirdly circular. Maca, we just bought Asha a beautiful leather collar off of Etsy. They have a wonderful variety of just about everything you can make, and I've been thoroughly impressed that I could find so many weird things. I'd say it's worth...

Lovebird, I'm so sorry that you're in this unhappy place. I think the only thing you can do is figure out what you want for you and go from there. GS, I liked what you said.

She's likely scared. All of a sudden, he's developing a connection with someone that she hadn't expected. She probably thought that it would happen more slowly or not be as deep as her own. Plus, new relationship energy is really scary when you're the one being left behind. Some people don't...

I asked this question in a different way once...the consensus seemed to be that "successful" does not necessarily equate with "long-lived". My primary and I have been married 20 years this summer. (...wow...) We were monogamous, I never wanted to be anything else. Had poly friends who gave...

Well, really, all I did was exist. Sometimes information comes to me at unexpected times! Weirdly, sooner or later the information is needed. So I must be having some interesting things coming my way. It's not as interesting as it seems! The subject just came up on an e-mail list I'm on...

In the car with my daughter, Monkey (11) and Asha's son, Rockstar (4)... Monkey (to Rockstar): Do you have a girlfriend? Rockstar: Yeah. I have two girlfriends! Monkey (shocked): Two girlfriends! Rockstar: And a boyfriend. Monkey: And mommy has a husband and a boyfriend and a...

Today is apparently my day for learning about 24/7 master/slave or dominant/submissive relationships. What an interesting world we live in. I don't even know enough to ask questions, so I'm having to grasp information as if floats past me.

I saw that the two of you have talked and worked on some things, but I thought I had something that you might want to think about. You don't have to allow this treatment. You have the right to say, "You know, I would like to see some loving behavior outside of the bedroom. I don't feel like...

Why don't you just tell her that? "Mommy is taking some time for herself/to hang out with her friend X. You and Daddy are getting some time for the two of you to have fun! It's important for you and Daddy to get some time just for the two of you." It really is important for Daddies to have...

LR, I'm dying to know what happened. I'm desperately hoping that things went well and issues got resolved, at least partially. The second you explained about Loyalty, I got it. I'm thinking good energy thoughts your way.

I'm so sorry he said that to you. I think it's definitely worth fishing around a bit to see if he really meant it that way. Did he really mean to tell you that he would take no responsibility if an accident happened? Did he really mean to say that he would leave you with all of the...

The point to poly for a lot of us is love. We love the other people. We're not looking for "variety" (well, I'm sure some of us are) we find people we love and have relationships with them. I'm inferring from what you're saying that people would actively go out seeking other people to fill in...

I don't know, I kind of think I would have had the same reaction. The second my husband got the call to come play, I would feel that he should have stood up and said, "Hey, you said some s**tty things about my wife/partner and I don't want to be around that." Would he have said that? Pretty...

Well, I don't know if this is any help, but I think I had a similar situation. I'm in a quad where I have a relationship with both men and the other woman. My BF Sunday said that he thought he couldn't do poly, that he thought he was monogamous, and he shut me out for months--we still saw each...

This is exactly what I have been trying to come to terms with. So far, about the only answer I can find is that, with time I eventually see that he does see me as special. I can think I am awesome, but that doesn't mean that he will value me the way I feel I should be valued, you know? That...

Can I ask, did you breastfeed at all? Did you lose any weight after you had your previous two children? I ask because one of the things that happened to me because of my disorder is that I couldn't lose weight even while breastfeeding. Also, I caught that you said you "failed" to lose the...

Every weekday morning, I kiss Easy goodbye, drop the kids off at school, get a morning hug from Sunday, then spend my afternoon working out with Asha before picking the kids up. Does it get better than that?

I think there are a lot of blanks here. Do you actually want this relationship? Do you actually want to be poly? Are you responding to your husband's wishes? Do you want a girlfriend but possibly not this one? I'm getting the feeling that you feel pressured into a relationship with a girl...
