    Finding someone who understands

    Sounds to me like she's moved on emotionally but doesn't want to be the bad guy to actually break off the relationship. From what you've said it sounds like she's pushing you to break up with her. I don't know if it's on a conscious level or not but actions speak louder than words.

    Partner vetting potential relationships

    I've seen it discussed quite a lot here that people want to meet their partner's prospective love interests before things go further than friendship to be able to alert their partner to possible negative influences (cowboys/girls ect). It got me thinking that this isn't something that single...

    Don't Ask Don't Tell thoughts

    If someone approached me telling me that they had a DADT arrangement with their partner I don't think I could help but be skeptical as to if it really was a consensual open relationship or if it's just a line I'm being fed. At the very least I would want to be able to contact the other...

    Redpepper's journey

    I wonder if you're feeling what you're feeling because there wasn't any closure for you when that relationship came to an abrupt halt. It seems that he's found that closure and isn't aware or doesn't have the empathy that you're still working on finding that closure. It probably doesn't help...

    How to...?

    I have no desire to keep my children out of the loop. I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old and they are both very aware that their mom and dad have others in their lives who they love. We've never "come out" to them as such with any kind of formal talk we just live our lives. For me, anyway, I...

    More twisty thoughts

    It sounds like you're being very wise in letting relationships develop organically. Even if he does always date bisexual women there's no guarantee that there will be an attraction between the 2 of you. If it does happen that's wonderful but why is he trying to fit someone he hasn't met yet into...

    The crossover between Polyamory, Swinging and Sex work

    I'm sure that prostitutes do fall in love with their clients from time to time. The issue that I have with the idea of prostitution is that women are a commodity to be bought and sold. Just the very nature of paying a woman for the use of her body makes her less of a person than the man who is...

    You have such a way with words. I'm glad you're getting some closure.

    Feeling like I just got punched in the gut ...

    I haven't read your other thread yet but I can see how adding a new small person to a house already full of small people is going to be a major stress on your life. It also sounds like the news has come as a bit of a shock. While you're still in shock you're not going to have the capacity to be...

    Poly relationships and your social life

    Yeah that would bug me too. Cheating isn't ok and I would wonder if she is cheating on someone else if she has the capacity to be cheating on your husband as well. Honesty is important. Has your husband encouraged her to come clean to her boyfriend about their relationship? I wonder if you'd...

    Poly relationships and your social life

    It sounds like you really do. If you can both give a little it will probably work out just fine. Everything doesn't need to change overnight. Be very clear on what you're comfortable with right now. Also be clear about what your ideal situation looks like. Ask him to do the same (and possibly...

    Poly relationships and your social life

    This woman is obviously an important part of your husband's life. Do you think there might be a way to introduce her to your social circle slowly? Maybe by inviting her to very public events to begin with. You and your husband know your friends. Is meeting another partner of yours something...

    Giving it a try with a friend who has a mono partner - bad idea?

    Ah depression. I've been there too and I can remember the first time something challenged me after coming off the medication I was sure that I was going to sink right back to that dark place again. Turns out it didn't happen, I coped and moved through it. Breathe and take one day at a time. Now...

    Giving it a try with a friend who has a mono partner - bad idea?

    This is a lot of "new" that you are all sorting out. It's only been a week. There's no way you're going to have all the answers yet about where this is going to go. Your love interest's bf has a lot to process. I doubt he knows for sure yet that he'd never be ok with you being physical with your...

    Boyfriend wants a third

    Poly isn't something you should even think of attempting to please someone else. Chances are it would just end in resentment. If your heart isn't in it, just don't go there. If it means the end to the relationship you're in, that just means your life has opened up to someone who fits your needs...

    Dealing With Suspicion

    Moving back in with your mom while you pick up the peices of your life might not be such a bad thing. As I see it it's better than living with someone who you can't trust. If you move back in with your mom you'll have some time to find a job and then work on getting roomates and moving out again...

    Polys not jealous?

    Jealousy is a symtom that something needs to be examined. Sometimes it means that you need to look within and do some work and sometimes it means that there is something about the situation that needs to be discussed. It's a natural human emotion and a useful one. As time goes by I find that I...
