Hi GS, I tend to reflect a bit when I don't have an answer to something. At the poly meet last week, in our group there was a guy who kept coming back to honesty. And I kept snagging on what he was saying.
I don't think honesty is the only secret. If I'm completely honest and say something...
That makes more sense when you put it this way. I'm not sure what you mean by "yesterday," but I can see, in general, how you would feel apologetic, not because you have a kid, but because you would like to give more than you actually can. I tend to devote myself to others, as well.
I have no idea what's going on in here, so I can't say much more. I also feel disappointed on here sometimes. I tried reading through the primary secondary thread because I thought it might relate to some of what I was feeling and seemed to come into a heated argument, so turned away.
If I had...
Ha, do you really think so, Ciel? What of knowing yourself and then changing? Sometimes people go into situations not having any needs or expectations and then life/relationships evolve. Sometimes, like in this case, it seemed fine just playing at first, but a year and a half later, people...
Really? This surprises me, actually, redpepper. If anything, I would think this is a bonus. Definitely not something to apologize about. Wanting to date you when you have a kid gives someone the opportunity to have a kid in their life.
I realize I'm not going to be able to sleep properly if I don't share all of this. :p
Coming out as poly over the past couple years has changed so many things for me. I'm in another stage of that now and need to process it.
I'm used to feeling embarrassed about the way that I love. Somewhere...
LOL! Yes, it came out that way. I actually wrote you a response and then deleted it thinking, "Wait, did he mean that I didn't come across as shy or that people didn't come across as unwelcoming, or...?"
HAHA, whenever lots gets bottled up inside me, it tends to come out as a song. This one hasn't happened yet, but...
So, I think I will explode if I don't get some of this off of my chest. For someone who swore off relationships a year ago, I certainly have a lot to say about them. ;)
This...
Ooh, burlesque shows are fun! I performed in one here on my wee island a few months ago.
That's so cool!
I guess that would be me. And you're not keeping both their identities out of this post, seeing as you mentioned Polynerdist, silly. ;)
I'm not going to pretend that I'm not incredibly...
It's been a while since I've posted or read on here. I'm trying to learn a programming language and I've had a lot of work on the computer, so typing long posts is daunting these days. Email is enough for the moment.
I just wanted to pipe up and share how wonderful my weekend was!! I went to a...
I hear ya Mono! I was thinking of this a lot this weekend. I feel partly at home with poly folk. I feel partly at home with people who have the same disability as me. Another part relates to back-to-the-landers and off grid-ers. Yet another part geeks out with musicians.... raw foodies...
So...
Just thought I'd post a quick note in here saying sorry I've been absent, hi I'm here, etc. I've been focusing on work mostly. Was broken up with and needed some time to sort through what it brought up for me, etc.
Still lurking. :)

I took some time to process this thread and then wrote a VERY long reply last night. I had a thought that I should save it in a text editor in case, and literally, the moment I clicked on the text to copy it, Firefox crashed. *sigh*
I'm not retyping all that. But, in short, I basically said:
