Talking about the sexual or other strengths that one partner has to another partner One of the rules I've created for myself that makes a lot of sense to me and, I think, has avoided me a world of trouble, is to never talk to one partner about the sexual (or other) strengths or weaknesses of...

Yep and yep I completely agree. This situation isn't about love or relationships, it's about the drama. Distance and a lot of self care do some amazing things.

Hi everyone, This has been a long-term, background question for me, especially intensifying as things have grown and deepened with my BF. BTW, my V is, currently, absolutely fabulous. My husband, daughter, boyfriend, closest friends and I spent Christmas Day and New Years together, and that was...

Danced around and sang with my two-year old. She learned the "skidimarink" song today. It made her so happy to hear that I knew the words.

The boy spent the evening with the husband and me last night. We had beers, there was bbq and ice cream. All in all a lovely time was had by all, though the evening's start was a little rough. The boy came over scrunched - work-related trouble. I'm not good at not poking when poking is...

Feeling better Though having serious conversations via txt sucks ass. But it had to happen. A friend of mine and I were having a conversation about the different ways that people behave in their relationships. He has one partner who tends to withhold love as her participation in an argument...

I agree with SNeacail. Wanting something very badly, and it being a good idea are two different things. I know this is not true for everyone, but for all of us - my boyfriend, husband and me - it really helped to take our time and baby step the whole sex process. It cemented my new relationship...

Thank you.

Secondary integration troubles i'm feeling down. well, actually lonely which always brings me down. but that's not really the major point of this post. i think i'm having secondary integration troubles, and since you lovely, clearly brilliant and compassionate folks helped me out of the last...

I want your life So very very badly. It sounds amazing. Yes, I'm sure challenging at times etc etc. But, holy cow. Kudos to you and your's.

I feel I need to add how this is related to poly. My hubby and I entered poly through the swinger community. Purely by chance, I may add. I posted on okc, and the first fully awesome couple who messaged me happened to be swinger. I, then we, went to some clubs, observed some cool stuff, but...

Hook-ups I've been experiencing very many emotionally draining things over the last few weeks. Amongst all of it, I've been struggling with the idea of sexual hook-ups (are there other kinds, btw?) A little while ago I had a fantastic, ridiculously tempting opportunity at either supremely hot...

The last few weeks have been full of emotion - with a strong leaning towards the negative. Some of it poly-related, but most not. I'm feeling overwhelmed. And, to be completely honest, scared I'm nearing some kind of breaking point. I will reach out for some support.

Conjugal unions Thank you! Here's an interesting article from 2008 in the Globe and Mail about Canadian law relating to polygamy and conjugal unions: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/article701766.ece

Thoughts Hi everyone! ________________________________________________________________ You can find my original introduction here: http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10130 ________________________________________________________________ I'm feeling discombobulated. It all started...

There's me, and then there's the forum me I haven't had the time to keep up with the forum for the past few weeks, and it has been an interesting experience to come back and read posts that mention moments and emotions involving me. I've never had the experience (I think I will use this word a...

Duck to water?

Today you taught me something. Something I'm not sure I wanted to learn. But I did have too much wine, so...

Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate these perspectives. When I wrote my original post, I was feeling a bit ... airless. And I didn't understand where he was coming from. Your suggestions, thoughts, questions and experiences have really put things into perspective for me. He is an amazing...

I think there are clear guidelines here, as there would be in any relationship types (ok, maybe this is a tad more sensitive, yes), and I don't think you have breached any topic that would cause someone discomfort, but you won't know unless you ask them, I guess. I would imagine the rules would...
