    Redpepper's journey

    Sometimes it just takes some time and space for a friendship to be reformed, and sometimes it just doesn't happen. I think you're right that this break-up has left space in your life for something else to come in. Eventually, you're probably going to be able to look back on what you're going...

    Peace and joy and love

    I'm feeling helpless. RP is going through a breakup and there's really nothing I can do to make it better. There's no instuction book on how to make it easier. It sucks and my heart hurts for her.

    What are we doing to our marriage? We really need advice!

    Once it's not so intense, you and Dion might want to let Trey and Sage know that Dion has been having some serious issues. People tend to be able to sense tension. Trey and Sage may very well fear that the tension is happening because of something they have done.

    Secondary messes, roller coaster ride

    Does the married poly man that you're seeing have children? It can be hard to have conversations with people on any kind of regular ongoing basis when you're trying to meet the needs of children at home. Also around Christmas time there are a lot of family obligations and it can be very hard to...

    Peace and joy and love

    For the past couple of days I've been thinking about why things go sour so quickly when people break up. I have a theory that we tend to store things up in our memories that bother us about the person who we were in a relationship with that bother us. Now these things don't seem to be important...

    Newbies need triad help

    The thing is that there isn't an abundance of single women who are looking to become part of a triad with a pre-exisiting couple. Are you open to the idea of her having another primary relationship outside the two of you? What you're looking for is the same thing a lot of other couples are...

    Sexual dysfunction in a new relationship (warning, sexual content here)

    If she is really worried about diseases she should be insisting that he wears a condom with her rather than insisting that he wear a condom with others. We are all responsible for our own sexual health. I'm not saying that he shouldn't wear a condom with you (honestly until you've had that...

    We're THIS close to giving up on poly altogether.

    Just a reminder that not everyone on this thread has jumped down your throat and told you that you are in the wrong. I don't think any of us are agreed with 100% of the time by everyone in what we do and say here. The people on this forum are from such diverse backgrounds that you're bound to...

    Love you but...

    Just enjoy the giddy feelings for what they are. :)

    I think that's technically 3 words. :rolleyes::D

    We're THIS close to giving up on poly altogether.

    Sounds like it's a good time for you and Violet just to focus on the two of you for a while. Maybe there is poly in your future and maybe there isn't. I hear that you're really upset with the whole poly thing at the moment but it might not be time to write it off all together. You've said that...

    Proposing polyamory to a partner for the 1st time. Merged Threads, General Discussion

    It's not an either-or. There is another option. Since there isn't an actual person on the horizon whom you want to date at this moment, you can continue to talk to your fiance about what you truly want out of life. I suggest not getting married until you've come to a conclusion that you can both...

    Now He's Not Ready

    I'm sorry that the responses have hurt Armani. Everything on a public forum should be taken with a grain of salt. What people are posting here is based on a little snippet of your life, filtered through your own experience while you were writing it, and then filtered again through the reader's...

    Wife's bf's wife has a cuckquean and SM setup. Dysfunctional?

    How does Adam treat Kate? Is he showing signs of abusive behaviour towards her? I would think that it was much more likely an agreed-upon relationship dynamic between Adam and Eve, if there isn't any evidence of the same kind of behaviour between him and Kate. I would, however, keep an eye on...

    Metamour with a bad attitude

    I was the one with the bad attitude with my husband's last girlfriend. I think it was because she was timid around me and I fed off it. Eventually we came to a place where it was just better that we didn't spend time with each other. I was perfectly happy for my husband to have a relationship...

    Getting over past hurts and current hang-ups

    I think you may have misunderstood me. I wasn't saying that it was okay that Bill did what he did on the couch with Kia, but rather that when fueled by alcohol and your inhibitions are down, sometimes you do dumb shit. It was the aftermath that I thought was really disrespectful. And yes, when...

    Getting over past hurts and current hang-ups

    People make mistakes, and get caught up in the heat of the moment, which is what I figure happened with the fingering on the couch. The part I have a real problem with is that after you had made it clear that you were upset and were crying in the kitchen, that Bill was disrespectful enough to...

    Setting Each Other's Resolutions

    I think that if someone tried to set a new year's resolution for me I would likely self-sabotage. I think that my partners know me well enough that they *could* set goals for me that would be things that I honestly do want to work on, but then again, they probably also know me well enough to...
