Hi, Letitbe. I am so sorry, I am just new enough to this kind of thing that I didn't realize to check for private messages. I've been with my partner, (who told me he was poly before we got together) for 5 1/2 years now. There were some tough times early on with our first experience, then a...

Hi, Iktomi. I am so sorry I did not respond to your pm before this...I totally didn't realize I had messages...I'm kind of new to this! We are definitely in the same neck of the woods...I'm in Eau Claire. Good to hear from you!

Very interesting discussion. I, too, have had experiences in the past with spontaneous puppy piles. I am wiccan, and we had a group who was particularly cuddly and after ritual we would all sit on the floor, and eventually lean against each other and snuggle, do back rubs, etc. While it was...

I have been a pagan for quite a while, trained and initiated Gardnerian, which is, I think, one of the trads that have a tendency towards being more socially conservative. I was never personally aware of anyone within Gardnerianism who was poly, but in the greater pagan community there was at...

Hi, Letitbe! I am in Wisconsin; I was born here, and after 10 years in Minnesota I came back. I am in northwestern WI, so I'm kind of in the boonies, though I am near Eau Claire, which is...well, not large, but large for northwestern WI. I'm also pretty new to the forum, but have been in a...

Thanks, Vanille. I hope things go well for you, too!

Thanks, AnnabelMore. You are definitely validating my thoughts are feelings around this. I had a talk with K about this the night before last. He did hear me, and said he was going to think about it and consider my view on it. He encouraged me to also rethink that maybe she does respect our...

Oops! I appologize for my poor proofreading!!!

Thank you both for responding! I have had the sense from early on that D might fit the profile of 'cowgirl', and I expressed my concerns to K around that. His opinion was that whether she intended to break he and I up or not, we are the ones that ultimately control that, and that she'd...

I had a talk with K yesterday about communication problems, and what we could do about it. He is agreeable to finding some help/counselling around helping us all communicate better. I brought it up with D earlier, and she was agreeable, too. So I am feeling a bit more hopeful. We will have...

The focus of the struggle for all of us, first, is the lack of communication skills and willingness to communicate respectfully. I feel that I am willing, I try and start from a place of compassion but lose it when I am disrespected and told various things (such as when I refer to K as my...

Thank you! I'm looking forward to getting to know people here!:)

I've been gleaning info from this forum on and off for 2+ years, and am finally taking the jump from lurker. I am a 52 yr old female in relationship a 4+ year commited relationship with K, who is a 56 yr old man with whom I had a very affectionate, caring friendship for at least 6 years before...
