    Still learning to ride the wave

    life is gud. have been hanging with P alone more (outside the house, as Joe is still recovering from ankle surgery for another month). I have a date planned with Joe this evening. Just finished yoga teacher training, and starting school up again for spring semester. I'm working on feeling...

    can anyone give a little advice?

    pretty sure these rules are unspoken, since poly isn't for everyone and this site is not for being convinced of/told anything imo. or is this just u being a staff member and legitimately looking for a rulebook lol

    can anyone give a little advice?

    Hm. a lot of the concerns you describe were conveyed to me by my husband when I fell in love with our best friend. I did not consider myself poly before then. What you're doing is not easy! I'm not sure if you want to have your own relationship at any point, but being the mono in a mono-poly...

    Poly Fallout, advice needed

    you were cool with his partner living with y'all, but he can't let you just be with your other partner now? seems like he's just really upset over the breakup and looking to make himself feel better. when you both decided to open things, there was a risk of this happening. i agree with others...

    Polyandry TV Show on TLC

    is it bad that just the name of this show turns me off? I'm also not a fan of reality tv tho. thanks for sharing; it is cool that stuff like this is being put out there. here's to hoping it doesn't encourage an even worse stigma against polyandry/polyamory lol

    Still learning to ride the wave

    I just... ugh. with all of this. I don't disagree with any of it. I have been super proactive about all of this from the outset. Sometimes this shit feels like a democracy between the 3 of us, and for a long time I was the only one that was like "HEY THIS IS HAPPENING AND WE NEED TO MAKE A PLAN...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    I mean, yeah. I wouldn't argue with that. We all lived together during covid, so I think there was this assumption that we all needed to be hanging out all the time, and that time apart meant something was wrong. We were all each other had for ~2 years.... P's sister was preoccupied with her...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    I feel that. I didn't mean for it to come off that way... P and I have definitely been going on dates, but both of us avoided doing it recently because there was no way to "hide" it while Joe's been home. It was really a decision on me and P's part not to confront the situation and continue...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    I am really appreciative of all the lessons I learned the past couple years of my life, and excited for the new year. I know it's really just an illusion of newness since Jan 1st isn't really that different than Dec 31st, but if you believe in astrology it definitely signifies new beginnings...

    New relationship anxiety lasting longer in a poly relationship?

    !! We have known each other for four... our relationship has gone really fast in some ways and really slow in others (like, we were already comparing farts, but it took a year to go on our first date lol). But I feel this. We've been through crises together, but perhaps more as a 3 person group...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    Not many updates. Yoga teacher training is going well! I am 100% sure I want to be a teacher, and have started talking to gyms around me for teaching positions. Research is going well. I am reaching a major checkpoint right before holiday break, which feels good. Our roommate is out of town...

    New relationship anxiety lasting longer in a poly relationship?

    Hi all! I posted on here awhile ago asking others what coming out is like, how to know when you're ready, and got a lot of really good resources. I'm in a stage where I feel both my relationships are on pretty equal footing (I've now been poly as long as I've been mono :0 ! ) and have been more...

    One relationship breaks up while the other breaks down

    This. I have made the mistake of leaning on one partner to vent when another is being emotionally unavailable. Can understand the temptation to do it, and it feels better in the moment, but I can recognize now that it was unfair and not being a good hinge. Hopefully NP just needs some time for...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    define "open on all sides.." I asked Joe about this, but he's not okay with me kissing/dating other men besides P. So not open? I'm committed to both of them and that's it? I asked him if he would have been okay with me doing what he did in this situation, and he said no. So.... yeah. I know...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    hm... i have never needed this forum more!!!1!!! so comments and advice are definitely welcome. some new changes are coming.... maybe in a few months, but probably not sooner than that. Just conversations now. Joe and I are still mulling through some feelings, it seems. He said and did a lot of...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    last week was rough. for reasons that I won't outline on here, but probably the second or third most stressful week of my life. both Joe and P were super supportive. we all had a serious (but in a good way) talk for the first time in a while. talked about plans for the future and living with...

    open relationship issues wife keeps not sticking to rules

    perhaps she's not telling you the truth, but honestly if you're out here recording her convos anyway then what's the point. seems you have your answer. she has feelings for and possibly fucked another person around the time yall opened the relationship. perhaps she didn't feel comfy sharing as...

    Not getting along with partner's sister (sry for the length)

    A positive update… we’re throwing a Halloween party this weekend and initially P had invited his sister without asking me, using the excuse that we had already talked about the party with her months ago so he felt he had to invite her and said it wouldn’t happen again. I thought about this for...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    P's bday was this weekend (his golden year!) so all 3 of us hung out, ate edibles and listened to music. My roommates sister has been visiting, it's been real family vibes in the house... fall decorations up, the smell of cinnamon brooms and pumpkin spice (clearly fall is my favorite season). It...
