I'm having a discussion on a facebook group with some people who assert that monogamy is not biologically innate. Since I know there are many of you here who are monogamous partners of people who are poly I thought this might be a good way to back up my assertion that monogamy and non monogamy...

It has been a rough week <hugs>

http://open-relationships.meetup.com/ Maybe one of these would work for you.

I understand this reaction. I had a similar reaction when I was first introduced to the term polyamory. I didn't identify as poly for a long time because of the immage that I had seen. The thing is there are people in all walks of life who are polyamorous. Most people who I've met aren't cultish...

If you think there's any chance that one of these other relationships might end up being a replacement for your husband. You know, emotional entangment, sexual compatibility and likely the desire to cohabitate then leave now. It's not fair to your husband to keep him around until someone more...

Wow what a weekend. I've been working on mending bridges with the husband of a friend of mine in the city where I grew up. It's been a bumpy road and emotionally exausting. We are coming from 2 completely different worlds. In the course of the conversation I found out that his biggest issues...

The work always continues for all of us, it's just a part of life. I hope you find your answers.

What do you want? Do you actually want more than one secondary type relationship or do you want a more full time arrangement with one person. There isn't a right or wrong answer to this but you shouldn't settle for less than (or different than) what you want.

Have a conversation with her about how you will approach her having feelings for someone else if it happens again. Don't let her off the hook by her saying that it won't happen again. As far as she can see at the moment I'm sure that she believes with all her heart that she won't ever develop...

Is there a local poly group in your area? That can be a really good, no pressure way to meet people. You get to know them as people and see who you might have an attraction to and the bonus is that you know that they're open to the idea of poly already simply due to the fact that they're a part...

I wouldn't get involved with this guy until he's figured out for sure what he wants to do in the relationship he's in. If he wants to break up with her then he should break up with her without having someone to fall back on. It's sucks enough to be left it sucks way worse to be left for someone...

Woo Hoo on a sucessful date :D

Just so you know this isn't true. I enjoy spending time with you, happy you, sad you, excited you and hurting you. You ARE special even if you're not feeling it right now.

So awesome to finally meet you in person!

You don't mention anywhere in your post a history of being attracted to women. More specifically it sounds like you're not attracted to THIS woman (for a variety of reasons). No one should EVER be sexually involved with another person for the gratification of someone else. How does your husband...

This is going to be off topic. If you have mucous membranes you have exactly the same risk of catching or transmitting ANY of the STI's. Your risk of cervical cancer from HPV is obviously non existent since you don't have a cervix but you can still carry HPV and pass it on to someone else. STI's...

I was mostly just making the reference for ease of explanation. People tend to have a good idea of what branding refers to when talking about cattle. I know it isn't entirely accurate but the basic idea is the same. Hot metal + flesh = permanent mark.

It's only abusive if it's not agreed upon by both parties. If both people want to be in a monogamous relationship with each other I fail to see the problem.

Exactly what it sounds like, your flesh is burned with hot meatal. Just like with livestock.
