    fictive people

    I am certain there is a fictivious person on every forum, or at least someone who stretches the truth to create some online drama about their lives (they are troubled, just with a different kind of trouble you might say). I have read stuff here that I am convinced is utter bullshit and if I...

    Are there certain states where you find it easier to be poly in?

    It sounds in a way luxurious to be able to think in these terms, like which city or state is the more poly friendly. There are not really any poly friendly parts of my country, and most things happen if I and some friends organize them in the two largest cities. One of my friends said that I...

    Introverts and Poly prospects?

    I find that polyfidility suits me as an introvert very well. I have never really dated (noone does in my country, unless they find people online). My husband was a close friend before we started dating. My boyfriend of 2,5 years I met when I was on holiday, we just happened to like each other...

    Role models breaking up

    Hi, I am not sure if others have this issue, but I feel very affected by it when some of my friends choose to end their relationships. I am sure they did their best to keep the relationships going, perhaps they were bad matches to begin with and so on, but I still feel bad when my friends break...

    I think my secondary wants veto rights.

    Sometimes people are incompatible in important fields. He was frustrated with you doing what you wanted. You experienced that a compromise only served as to limit your love for him. The best thing to do is to break it off.

    Poly Vignettes: Sharing Success & Happiness

    We have now been a poly family close to 2,5 years. While things are not perfect, I am comfidant that one day we will all live in the same house/city and that we will have kids. For now, I am grateful for what we have had so far, and that we have all been patient through a relationship that...

    What is "romantic love"? Is it a good or bad thing?

    Romantic love is somewhat similar to familiar and frienship love, but there is a certain intensity that is not present in other kinds of love. Also, since I and both my partners are sexual, to us romance is also very sexual in a profund sense.

    how do you decide on frequency of getting tested?

    My two boys and I are in a closed V. We have been fluent bonded the last 2 years. Before becoming fluid bonded, we used condoms exept for oral sex, and all took HIV and other STD tests. I also started on the IUD before we got fluid bonded since we did not want kids right away. Neighter of us...

    Relationships and commitment without the escalator?

    yes, they are not the same things. I was in love for four years with a man I would never - not even during my most starry eyed period - consider living with. I like to keep things relatively clean, he is a mess. I like my quiet time, and steadily inviting friends, he varies between hermit life...

    How do people work their scheduling?

    We are usually very strickt with nights - when we are in the same town, I have every other night with them. We have also at times tried other versions, like having a couple of night in a row with one of them. I try to make a point of NOT adapting to anyone's scedule, that means that if boyfriend...

    Think you have a low sex drive? Think again!

    Sexuality comes in continuum. Full asexuality with no sexual attraction towards others period is on one end, on the other end you find people who prefer to have sex with a partner several times a day, every day. Most people are somewhere in between those extremes. If you only feel desire to...

    Dating the poly-curious. Yes or no?

    I am not sure. What do people mean by poly curious these days? There certainly are those who will be comfortable with any situation as long as it is not LOVE. I have freaked out people even before that point, too. There was this guy who dumped his girlfriend after kissing me, he said it made him...

    Finding Partners

    How do we meet partners? I seriously don't know. I feel like the romantic relationships I have had, I just fell into. I have never dated someone online. My first wife I met out on a club. My husband I met through friends - we had been close friends for 4 years before we started dating. I met my...

    Getting a positive experience with sex, if he has not had that in the past, starts with himself, not you.

    Legal and practucal issues - closing the distance internationally

    Many people don't want to change citizenships anyway, especially if it means giving up all your rights in the old coutry. But to have the right to stay more than 3 mounths in another country you often need a good reason.

    Being in the same space as a metamour

    We usually hang out the three of us when we go out. It would feel weird for any of us to go out just the two of us, unless it is a very special occation like aniversery. We might feel differently if/when we all live together and perhaps have kids, but right now I like the poly feel of going out...

    Legal and practucal issues - closing the distance internationally

    Hi, I know that families with more than two adults have gotten it easier than before. At least in my country, it is not illegal to cohabitat with more than one, or have two adresses (although one must be your official one), or buy a house or raise children together. My concern is for the...

    What has being poly taught you?

    Polyamory has taught me that there is a word and a place for me and how I feel.I have leaned that it is ok to not be jealous and that it is not neccesarily a sign of love and affection. It feels like that most natural place to be. I have also learned that I am not that radical, really - I felt...

    Basic Relationship Skills -- What Are They?

    Sure. But the problem might be that if you have done something that really upset the other person, it may be very hard to - in that same moment -remember all the things that they did that were also great. One might even start to question if those great qualities are even present any more. I...
