Hello All! I'm just re-connecting with this site and wanted to post some of the media our group has received. The Polyamory Edmonton Association gained some national attention last fall (Sept 2014). There are 2 radio interviews I can post as well. Here is the paper interview...

As is often the case, I want to bounce an idea on the forums before broaching it in person. I have a husband and a boyfriend. I understand why having other partners works for my husband and I. Our bond remains strong and hasn't been diminished, in fact in a lot of ways it's stronger. I love...

I was tempted to create a dummy account and post this question, but I just can't bring myself to do it. As incredibly awkward as I feel about this, I really need to hear some support and hopefully hear from people who are in a similar situation. (Private messages are totally fine, if that's...

I was looking through the primary/secondary threads, finding all the discussions very interesting but they didn't have quite the information I need. I really don't like the labels of "primary" and "secondary", but I need to use them to explain. The reason I dislike the labels is because in...

http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/ DEAR ABBY: For the past few holidays we have had to accept the fact that my sister-in-law was bringing her husband and her boyfriend to family holiday dinners. Last year we protested, saying it was ridiculous and that we wouldn't come. (We don't want our kids...

I'm struggling with this big time and I don't know where to go from here. I've read several posts on this, but can't seem to find what I want/need to help me understand. I understand that insecurity about a relationship can make mono's struggle with accepting their poly partners. My bf...

This thought came about from rather sad circumstances. To put it as briefly as possible, my husband had need to travel out of province to see his family after his Grandad passed away. His Mom knows about us being poly, but is not especially supportive (interestingly enough because she tried it...

Since coming out to many family and friends, I have struggled with the decision. No regrets, but the impact that it was had on some of the relationships I have with my family have made for some very difficult times. I have been fortunate enough to find a poly-friendly therapist who has been...

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Politics/2010/08/21/15099086.html Interesting... wonder how far it will get within the party? (Several party members don't seem to support it)

Two of our very best friends are the parents of 5 year old twins. Our friends know all about our 'quad' and are the most amazing support anyone could ask for. They haven't really explained any of our dynamic to their kids, it's not something that they need to know. They just know our...

So here's where we are... My husband and I rent a house that also has a separate basement suite for rent. Our landlord has been doing some renovations down there and it will be ready by June 1st. My bf of 8 months is rather unhappy in his current living arrangement. Our basement suite would...

I had an opportunity to be rather bold in public this past weekend, here's what happened :) My bf and I were at a comedy club and were seated right near the stage. At one point, the comedian sees my bf and I holding hands and asks us a few simple questions, 'How long have you two been...

I've been so happy lately, being able to be open with more people. It really is a very liberating feeling, such a relief. It didn't go well with one person though, my Dad. He assures me that he loves me and that he and I will 'always be ok' but we're not 'ok' at all. Among the many things...

I think this is more of a general relationship question, but it has been weighing heavily on my mind with no real solution in sight. My husband of nearly 14 years loves me, he says and shows it all the time. My bf of 6 months is a bit of a trickier issue. For many reasons that I do accept and...

This issue has been weighing more heavily on my mind lately and I'm totally undecided on the issue. My triad with my hubby of 13 years and bf of 6 months is doing really well. We are 'out' to a handful of friends only and the issue hasn't really come up with any other people, including family...

I'm 31/F and have been with my husband for over 13 years. We decided in Summer 2009 to have a go at experiencing other people and seem to have stumbled into polyamory when our original intention was swinging. Should have known that it was not in our nature to be comfortable with strangers :P...
