If I'm reading the OP correctly, I think the they/them is a neutral pronoun for just B, not referring to A and B together? I think you should definitely break up with B, and it may be helpful to talk to A about it ahead of time. A could help in getting you some private time to break up with B...

Huffpost Live conversation on nonmonogamy (including polyamory) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/09/open-relationships_n_5572143.html

It's been a very, very long time since I last updated. My life has been pretty boring, so it didn't seem worth updating. Moonlight and I are chugging along. Our relationship has definitely gotten better since Fly and I broke up. He controlled so much of my time, it was hugely detrimental to my...

I don't have any advice or words of wisdom. I just wanted to tell you that I've been reading your posts, and thinking about you. It sucks that things are rough right now, and I hope your situation gets better.

I've had every pet under the sun, so I'm at an all-time low right now. :) I have two cats: Twinkie, who's 9 and who has owned me since she was a kitten, and Max, who is 3 months old and just joined my household a week ago. Both are shelter cats, and after a contentious couple of days, they're...

Ummm....us lifelong Seattle natives have spent a lot of time and energy perpetuating that myth to keep the glorious PNW to ourselves, so please stop undoing our efforts! :cool:

Yay, congrats on the new job! :)

So ridiculously cute! Congratulations on the new family member :)

I agree with NYCindie! Punk is my FWB/lover/lover-friend (I tend to use those interchangeably), but that more describes the level of life-sharing than the amount of love involved. I would never say I don't have a relationship with Punk, it's just different than my relationship with Moonlight...

I respectfully disagree with you. There are many, many people in polyamorous non-sexual relationships, for a variety of reasons. They may be asexual. They may be long distance. There may be physical or emotional reasons why sex is not desirable or possible. Perhaps attraction has waned, but love...

So, so sorry, YouAreHere :( I lost my mom about 3.5 years ago, and it was devastating. Sending you lots of hugs.

I like the motorcycle analogy. Especially considering my experience; in 2010, we were in Pisa, and Fly convinced me to rent (and the shop guy to rent to us) motorcycles with the idea of tooling around the city, despite the fact that neither of us had an endorsement on our license. I had a...

Fo sho Seattle. Not only are there a bunch of groups/meetups/events that are poly-oriented, but the general attitude is chillax towards stuff like that. Pretty much no matter what you say to folks, they just respond with "Go Hawks!" :)

Two primaries and one once-a-weekish lover was a really good place for me, and I think more than that would make me feel stretched too thin. Plus, I need a little space, so I need me-time built in. However, that might be different if all my loves lived nearby, where I didn't have to add a bunch...

I remember the first time I had a one-on-one date with Moonlight at her house, which occurred about a week or two after she had hosted both Fly and I for a threesome night. We'd known her for maybe a month at that point, and had all had sex together at least three times. She and I had partaken...

I have always loved Valentine's Day, whether single, mono, or poly :) But, I'm a preschool teacher, and to me V-day is all about making valentines with the kids, cooking up treats, and teaching about love and friendship. This year, I went wine tasting and then out to Cuban food with Moonlight...

I'm polyamorous in nature, in that I definitely have the capacity to love more than one person. I can happily live monogamously, because I do not have to be sexually intimate with everyone I love, but I will always love many people. For me, the line between friendship and romance is blurry and...

At this point, I'm completely moved out and fully living alone with my kitty. We're doing pretty well, and I'm enjoying the space even more than I anticipated. The best part is being in charge of my own time again, with no one assuming that I'll do what they want, regardless of my preferences...

Thanks for sharing your story, and welcome to Seattle! :)

Well, I'm starting to move into my own space, and it feels wonderful. I won't move the furniture until this weekend, but I've been bringing boxes over and eating dinner at the new place (sitting on the floor :rolleyes:). It's gotten to the point where I don't even want to go to the old house...
