I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old. I just live my life around them. Honestly they don't care at all what the grown ups do. If your son asks you questions answer him honestly. You are his parents, however you live your life will be his normal.

It can literally take years of talking before any actual dating happens. Has there been any movement at all in what he thinks he might be OK with? I know that for me unless I can say yes to something without any reservations I will say no. That doesn't mean that there isn't any internal movement...

I remember having a lot of the same feelings when my husband started dating. It helps to remember that he's with you because he wants to be with you. If you play the comparison game you're always going to lose. We are our own worst critics.

Welcome from the West Coast of Canada.

I'm a gorilla in the Chicago zoo who has been taught to type.

I know too :D

Breakups suck and they hurt like hell. You will survive though. One day at a time, and if you can't take on a whole day, one hour at a time. It will get better. Let yourself feel what you're feeling, cry, scream, rant...do what you need to do.

I had a really good day yesterday. I woke up this morning with no angst at all. It seems like it's been a long time since I've been feeling calm and content. I know that it hasn't really been that long but it is amazing how much time seems to slow when things are in flux. I don't know how long...

Planning on kicking some ass tomorrow.

How does one determine what level of attractiveness they are?

Yes, I'm actually posting. So where to start and what to say? The emotional roller coaster has slowed. I'm sleeping and eating and breathing again. This whole poly thing is such an unusual journey. Just when you think you know how to do it something will come out of nowhere and completely...

With everything that you've been through in your life, you need to find yourself and your own strength. You're not going to find that in the situation you're in at the moment. You've always been living at the whim of someone else. You've said yourself that you don't know how to be anything other...

A lot of us who are anti-unicorn hunters started out as unicorn hunters ourselves and have learned that it's not the best approach to relationships. You can't magically go out and find someone who will seamlessly fit into your (the couple's) life. When I comment it comes from a place of learn...

His poor wife: -Invited a complete stranger from another country into her home. -Has given up sexual intimacy with her husband because it upset you. -Has given up having a partner to share a bed with because it upset you. -Is basically raising small children by herself (with a couple of other...

The way I see your situation is that you are monogamous and that you want the typical white picket fence dream. He's been very clear that he's unable (or unwilling) to give that to you. So you have a decision to make, either stay with him and find it within yourself to truly accept that he has a...

Thanks Ry, I'm a strong believer in everything working out in the way it's supposed to. It doesn't mean I have to like the process though.

This month I have (re)learned: 1. The only constant in life is change. 2. No matter how scary it is talking about things won't kill you. 3. The only person you have any control over is yourself. 4. Honesty and integrity are important even if the outcome isn't what you wanted. 5. There is no...

For the record. I will still be a source of support for RP. There have been changes in the way our relationship is defined and there will be a period of readjustment as we figure that out. It's been a rollercoaster few weeks and the dust hasn't settled yet. RP is a part of my world, one of my...

It's been a long time since I have written and there will be more to come. It's been a crazy emotional roller coaster of a weekend. I'm not ready to say more than that for the moment. I'm just exhausted.

Update please.
