    Why do you use the online name that you use?

    If anyone has seen the Lady Killers with Tom Hanks, my husband and I have a relationship like Garth Pancake (JK Simmons) and his girlfriend, "Mountain Girl" (minus murder + robbery aspect). Also I live near Denver. My avatar is from Seven Deadly Sins anime. Diane is a literal axe wielding giant...

    Does compromise cause resentment?

    Yes compromise can breed resentment, but it doesn't have to. For now, it seems that you have both agreed to close things. In the event that it becomes too big of a compromise for your partner: You said that you don't see poly in your life. That doesn't necessarily mean it can't be a part of...

    Let's talk about Stuff!

    I live with 2 male partners with good taste in clothes and art so I definitely understand the stuff problem. Not sure I ever thought of it as a poly problem because I'm a pretty disorganized person, but it has gotten worse since we all moved in together. To be honest, all our stuff gets kinda...

    ebb n flo

    For a while I was searching for this set point I could look at and be like "whew I made it" as in adjusting to loving two people; really 'figuring things out'. I think the past few months I've realized there is no definable milestone in which I'll know that... It's as if I was expecting more...

    Tips for Closets?

    You have received some really good advice (esp. in regards to the social media stuff from Inaniel and the "introducing as family friend" option from Kevin... only if you're okay with that). I am also a hinge, and while I really don't put a lot of stock in social media, it is fun to post pics of...

    Something is shifting... in need of advice

    I feel like every time you reply it's a reminder not to try to do work for the two of them and I thank you for that :') I am uncomfortable because THEY are not getting along/seeing eye to eye (the opposite pages) but it's not MY job to mediate, so I'm dropping it. They will figure it out and...

    Something is shifting... in need of advice

    I mean... I also want our relationship to not be treated like a secret lol. I've told Joe (as I mentioned when alluding to John and I's 'adjustments' on an edit to my original post) that I feel like both John and I have compromised by keeping it a secret from our friends and not rubbing it in...

    Something is shifting... in need of advice

    And I remember on a previous post someone asked if I was worried about Joe leaving, which is why I tiptoe around him. Definitely not, I know that Joe would stick with me through anything and our marriage means a lot to him, but I don't want to be taking advantage of that by doing whatever I want...

    Something is shifting... in need of advice

    Also realizing as I reread that NRE may have something to do with my comments about "not having enough alone time with John" ;P

    Something is shifting... in need of advice

    Hello! Life has been great for several months now, but that may in part have been due to a lack of communication. These past few months, Joe (my husband) and I have been doing awesome. We've been speaking each other's love languages; I have been doing little acts of love for him and he's been...

    Female looking for MFM

    Hey Robyn! Definitely possible. I personally didn't look for this setup; my husband and I were really good friends with a man I fell in love with. We all live together, and they're not romantically involved. All of it depends on who you meet and what they're like :)

    Went to a monogamous wedding and it sucked

    Hey all:) I was in my really good friend from high school's wedding this past week. She is really happy which was awesome and it was great to see her; covid kept us from making plans for the last couple years. I'm writing about it here because it made me feel lots of feelings. There was a...

    Coming out?

    aghhh that makes total sense. we don't have any kids involved, but at this point my boyfriend is as much of a support in my life as my husband is, loves and gets along with my family, etc. I'm pretty certain he doesn't care, but it feels very unfair for him not to be invited to things. I also...

    Coming out?

    I love this haha. I think for most people i am very okay with letting them figure it out for themselves. I have received some questions from nosy family members who are clearly NOT okay with the concept of polyamory (e.g., an incredulous: "Are you having sex with BOTH of them?"), and usually...

    Coming out?

    I feel this paragraph a lot; all of our families have met each of us, and while I love hanging out with my husband (J) and boyfriend's (P) families, sometimes it hurts when either my parents or one of their parents asks when P is getting a girlfriend... P and I joke about him answering that I'm...

    Coming out?

    Hello all! I am wondering if anyone has experiences to share on coming out as poly, whether it's with friends or family etc. (not to a monogamous partner.. thankfully I've already done that 😅). I have been sitting on this for a bit and while I don't personally think I am ready, I am curious...
