    How did I get here & Where am I going?

    I totally read that as "I'm sitting here IN my onesies" :D

    Redpepper's journey

    I wasn't reading into it, I just think I'm funny today. I better stop now. I've been ruffling all kinds of feathers. :o So much of tone is lost over text.

    Redpepper's journey

    Mental note...no more smack talk about my hubby :D (and now I bet he's wondering if I really talk smack about him or not). Hehehehehe

    I'm going to visit my family for the week today.

    Need a little advice.

    http://www.ravencon.com/ Have you ever been to a con? Those things are full of cool nerdy people. The link I posted is to one in Virginia. Much better than searching the internet for love IMHO.

    Wants 2 Be Equal in Polyfidel relationship

    She's said earlier in the thread that she feels that she's monogamous and wants to be "the one" to someone. If I were her I wouldn't be looking to get involved with a partnered man again right away.

    Peace and joy and love

    There seems to be change in the air lately. But it's happening all around me and not to me. It makes me wonder if I should be on alert to it being my turn. People are getting married, people are splitting up, people are having babies and people are coming to the end of their lives. And it all...

    does poly make you less patient with lovers?

    It could be that you just weren't compatible with these particular people, that happens. The thing with relationships is that they aren't going to be just fun and games all the time. People have good times and they have bad times. If someone trusts you enough to let you in when they aren't...

    Non-sexual living partnership?

    Since you say that you eventually turn on and kind of enjoy it I would think that likely there just isn't enough lead up for you. It takes time to turn off all the day to day stuff that goes on in your regular life. When you're with your boyfriend for the weekend and don't have any other...

    What he said. You have such a good heart. :eek: (the smilie is a gift from my girl child)

    What if I don't like my partner's girlfriend?

    You can't force a friendship with anyone. You've invited her to spend time with you. If you want to continue inviting her then go ahead, just try not to invest too much in the answer if she doesn't want to spend time with you. As for your primary and his girlfriend their relationship is going...

    Redpepper's journey

    In my ideal world, I would have my own apartment (or even room). I'd love to have somewhere to go that is all mine. When you get your own apartment I will be happy for you, but at the same time I'll be green with envy! *green smilie*

    Poly Map

    It's likely just a part of human nature to bias things that you create towards your own reality. I guess that means the map will ring true to those who have a life experience similar to the creator of the map. Personally, I get overloaded with too much going on in a graphic (I can't read comic...

    other girlfriend - boundaries?

    I'm wondering why you don't do more things alone with him if that's the issue. If you're having a date night, have a one on one date night. It's hard to have any quality alone time when you're in a big group anyway.

    He cheated with a potential third

    From what you've said at this point, it doesn't sound like Dion really has the inclination to be polyamorous. It sounds like he wants to keep his sexual options open. You say that he's 30 and has never been in any type of long term relationship. This is all new to him then, and I imagine he's...

    So here I am (going from swinging to polyamory)

    In all of this with the sleepover issue it isn't clear what YOU want. There's a lot of talk about what your wife and your girlfriend want, but what is your ideal? There is probably some kind of compromise between no sleepovers at all and numerous sleepovers a week. As for the issue of Lucy not...

    Poly Map

    I can see where people are coming from in not thinking that sex work belongs in a relationship diagram. As long as it is just a buisness transaction it isn't a relationship. If a relationship develops it would then fall into another catagory. Even if the financial transactions were still taking...

    Redpepper's journey

    It's even worse when it's not made crystal clear up front that you're in one of those relationships.

    Sharing Details of Relationships/Sex

    Do you want to know? It's not a matter of SHOULD. I like to know when my partners start a sexual relationship with someone new. But beyond that, I have very little desire to know details. For me, it feels like I'm intruding on something personal between them. Also, is he comfortable with having...

    when poly goes weird

    R and T have a child. So there is no way you're going to be able to avoid all contact with R. If you and T are going to be together it's probably a good idea to start working on some kind of civil relationship for the sake of the child. You don't have to be best friends or anything but you do...
