Yes well, different countries, different terms I guess. I dont think most people in my country think of marriage as neccesarily having to do with the church /any churces. You can marry in the church, or in the town hall, or by the representative of the humanitarian society, or a the mosque etc...

If by civil union you mean common law marriage, how can they have the same rights as marriage? If you by civil union you mean a marriage performed by the state...I woul call that a marriage, too - in my country that is the term. There is no difference between a marriage performed by state...

The main reason we want to form a formal organisation in my country, is to fight for the right to marry. I am married to my husband and it is the best decition I did. I also want to marry my boyfriend, legally right now we cant. This has very real consequenses, as we are an international...

I thought the concept of TTC was super common, from the land of abbrivations :p. I heard it in another (NOT baby) forum where there is also lots of Americans, nooone explained anything to anyone so I just secretly googled it, under the impression that I was the odd one out for not knowing :D...

Yes, he is very sweet like that. I love the Brown family term "legally destructuring the family" - these changes will be legal only and not change anything in terms of where we live or how we see our relationship. It may, however, change somewhat how others see our relationship. We will of...

Yes, it went well. Still I am in a turmoil of emotions. Me getting pregnant and having a kid will definetely put a lot of preassure on him to move here - we have an idea for a work visa, but of course we don't know for sure yet - and his brother's upcoming marriage is of course making everyone...

Is the whole issue that you don't want to be responsible paying for stuff? Because unless you have a merged economy, or you earn a heck of a lot more than her, I assume she can pay for herself and "her" kids at the themepark. My wild guess would be, she has only been to a themepark once but she...

Hi, we had the talk today. My boyfriend says he wants me to get pregnant, agrees it is time soon and wants my husband to be the biodad. He was a bit surprised and overwealmed, I think, but said right away he was on board with it. Everyone wants me to get pregant, so that is the good thing. I am...

Husband and I planned kids a long time ago, actually what stopped us was my health at the time. Since, I have managed to crawl myself out of that rabbit hole, we moved to a bigger flat and we are turning our economy around. And I met another, beautiful man almost 3 years ago, he lives in another...

I have been long distance with one of my partners almost 3 years. I have had the uppertunity to visit a lot, and that helped. But it also meant that I had to spend some time away from my other partner, and that was hard on him. We try to make it so that at times, all thee of us are together...

I think expecting people to naturally bond over doing something most people on the planet do - being parent - is as bad a plan as expecting people to bond over any other activety that most people engage in and like. People are diverse...and pregnant people are nausious, new parents are sleep...

You are right that there are differences in volume, and that there is a difference betwen a dog fight and having a smaller fall out, but when a couple leaves the room, and in most cases can be seen or heard to have any sort of argument, that they themselves may refer to a "discussion" but that...

We all have our seperate accounts. I tried having a joint (as well as a seperate) account with my mono ex, it didn't really give more financial stability as the account couldn't be used for paying bills or be attached to a debit card. I assume we could have gotten a card in a different bank, but...

I don't know if I am proud to be poly; poly is for me just normal, it is my normal life. I have two boyfriends and have lived this way for years, it is a blessing and a tough job like most relationships. I hope one day we will have kids and I know I will be very proud of my family. I am however...

We try not to fight in front of other people. I absolutely hate it when other people do that, and other people are not part of our relationship conflicts. Fighting is to me very private, and the few times I have fought in public made me ashamed of myself. Also, I will say 99 % of fights we have...

Hi again everyone, just wanted to update: While I wrote this, my husband actually contacted all of them to show his sympathy and ask what happened. It seems that the eldest guy got tired of the relationship not working out as he wanted it to be, so he told them he was out. The girl is crushed...

We have not through with anything yet but I imagine a ceremony that is just like any wedding. I am not sure why it being poly should be any different. I am already married and so it would be about me marriying (probably not legally, but socially and what we could make happen through our wills)...

First, congratulations on your pregnancy :) It is wonderful that he is looking forward to becoming a dad. Have you attended classes together? I hear they can be quite bonding. You need to have a discussion about disclosure. What are you ok with him telling about your relationships to her? Have...

Life is a series of issues. Issues of work, time, money, obligations and inlaws... If you can tackle those, and still think you are connected to wonderful people with whom you enjoy having sex, and share some good non-sexual moments and have a sense of humour....Then I think you have a nice...

Thank you for sharing the pain. I guess it is bad all around when people break up! I am not sure if our friendship will survice this. The original couple have taken some measures to tell our local group that they are "no longer in a V", which I interprete as the newest guy dissapearing. They...
