Yes, while some people will think "love is an allcompassing thing you can feel for anyone", most people think about romance as sexuality and sexual jealousy and when you mention siblings it becomes very weird. People seem to be able to make the connection with friends more. Especially in my...

You may feel polyamorous by nature or ideals, but if you are not in a relationship, you don't get to practice neighter monogamy nor polyamorory. A lot of mono folks treat their one night love decent too, does that mean they abide to monogamous ideals?

Boyfriend told me 'I love you' after two weeks. I told him back right away. In fact, what he said was, 'I love you, how can I marry you?' And he told my husband that he wanted to marry me, haha. I thought he was crazy. Husband was even faster, he told me after two days. We were friends before...

Stopping to misuse is just one step of the way. The real test is gathering the tools to deal with your life in a different way. There can be many paths to take. When I recovered from my eating disorder, I did a lot of self reflection, journaling, courses/meetings and I saw a psycologist. I did...

I just wonder if she is the right person for you if she feels the urge to date someone you are scared about THREE MONTHS into the relationship. I have dated someone with serious issues myself (my husband is a female to male transexual with a past of family violence), and the first 4 years I was...

Yea, we did not make any commitments either before we seperated, we could easily had been just another holiday affair. I guess we just realized from how miserable we felt being apart that we had dipped our toes into something big. And if you don't feel this way, the hassle is not worth it.

I will very much advice against likening polyamory to having love for two or more siblings, children, parents etc. While it may make sense that you "love more", it also easily gives off a vibe of incest which is not an association you want people to make.

I think quite the opposite. Me and husband would have had plenty reasons to break up that were "external": my sickness, his transexual process, my mum getting really sick, his parents fighting with his brother, problems at our jobs...But working through those things together is just called LIFE...

Me and husband decided long ago that vetos are for the initial dating period only. Once a person is in our lives, noone can veto him or her. If there is trouble in the relationship it has to be fixed by bettering the relation or breaking up, but it is not for others to decide. That being said...

I like to explain polyamory, or my way of it anyway, as monogamy plus. I have all of the feelings from monogamy, for two people. That makes my life richer and also a little bit harder. Sometimes I explain that it is like having two best friends. You love them both dearly and if something...

Update: I was nagging on my boyfriend to please to home to visit his family, as I thought he needed a vacation. It turns out that he got an offer to go work in another place (his regular place does not need more people/he is sick of working there, I don't know which one applies the most). So he...

I have lived in an international long distance relationship for more than 2 years. I live in Europe, he lives in Asia. My love language is also touch, so distance is hard for me. Skype and phone apps are our main way of staying in touch. I have visited him a lot, he visited me once (we had to...

I used to ask myself such questions when I was younger. It seemed to me everyone was into non-commitance. But perhaps we were just young? I was in a relationship from the first time I kissed and slept with my ex. My husband took a while longer, mostly because the breakup from my ex was rather...

Husband and boyfriend are similar. Their personalities are rather alike, boyfriend's like a younger version of husband . It has depended a bit how close they were, but always closer than just politeness. They are like brother -in -laws or cousins. It is even strange to say friends, because they...

I vent to both of them. I don't share any sexual details beyond birth control. They also tell me any issue they have with the other person. Because we were visiting together, husband got drawn in into the existentional crisis of boyfriend. But the more I think about it, the more I see the...

Why on earth would she die from childbirth? I get the feeling that although you are a triad, they are having the baby and you are just a bystander, a very relucant one at that.

You put it into words well.

I think it is weird for my husband even to say that my sister is hot. We are already too close (her personality as well as her looks are rather similar to me), to share a partner would be over the top.

We became fluid bonded after a couple of months. Boyfriend took the STI tests (we already had), I put in IUD and that was it. It is very practical to not have to deal with condoms, the skin contact is better and it is emotional, too. The boys just have sex with me.

It is perfecly normal to be more immidietely turned on by the new partner. Why is this an issue?
