You guys are silly :P Thanks for the laugh though, I needed that ;) I've had a talk with my bf after leaving the issue alone for a couple months and he's much calmer about it now. No anger or hurt, just talking about the practicalities of it. He would like to see how he feels after I actually...

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...

I understand this feeling all too well. I have a boyfriend of just over a year who isn't able to tell me he loves me. He is very caring and affectionate. He just has issues with the "3 little words" but sometimes I feel it's more than that. I can't help but wonder what our future holds...

You are living through a fear that I have sometimes. I've struggled so hard to gain acceptance among those I care about, that if something were to merely "change" that it would be viewed as a failure. "Breaking up" or taking a break is a common direction of relationships, but when you've had...

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...

*big smile* I'm so happy to hear it's going well for everyone! I think our biggest worry, as well, was making sure everyone had their own space. Sounds like you guys are developing some boundaries and communicating well, so far. Gotta love the NRE of a new space!

*big grin* I'm so happy for all of you, Mono! What an exciting part of your journey, to share a household together. <3 I bet Redpepper is also super-excited to have you so close by! I'm looking forward to hearing about some of your challenges and successes with the new arrangement. I hope the...

Coming out has ups and downs like anything else in life. My husband and I are openly poly and volunteer the information as needed. We have found a great deal of support from friends and a solid wall of intolerance from most family. As far as work goes, it depends on the dynamic you have at...

Sometimes 'love' is hard one to describe, but for me, I know what the feeling is and who I feel it for. The love I have for my husband and boyfriend is certainly stronger than love for my family and friends. The bond I share with the two of them brings me much happiness. The phrase 'I love...

I do understand how you feel. Being poly can make 'alone' time difficult but truth be told, I don't feel a need for much alone time. If I want to stay home by myself and read for a couple hours one night, or decide for some reason to do something without my other partners, I'm fine. But when...

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...

*hugs* I'm sorry, Redpepper. I didn't mean to upset you with my post. I was just trying to help people understand that wanting that closeness within a poly dynamic isn't an unrealistic fantasy. It's possible. I have to admit that if my husband didn't have a gf, our situation would be very, very...

Same case for me, purely hypothetical. I would be tickled if someone approached me with an interest in my husband! My husband and I have an agreement that he is able to pursue relationships as he feels comfortable. If he wants to have casual sex or date someone else, it's just a matter of...

I don't know if this will help at all. It's just my experience in trying to reconcile my poly relationships. Although my bf lived rather close by, it was always hard to leave him, or leave my husband, to be always leaving one of them. There was that *pang* of regret that I always seemed to be...

One year of being poly :) This past weekend marked one year with my wonderful boyfriend. <3 It's been an incredible year, full of so many experiences and so much happiness. I know that my ability to make it through all my confusion and doubts would have been severely compromised, had it not...

We are childfree :) I probably wouldn't be able to conceive without fertility treatments, although I've never had a strong desire to have kids anyway. It certainly makes being poly alot easier, it's hard enough to balance extra relationships let alone adding young un's to the mix! But people...

*sigh* Mono, have I told you lately how awesome you are? I really needed to read and understand what my poly bf is experiencing. When my husband & I agreed to pursue poly, we were so naive; we didn't really have a plan. I think we aimed for polyfidelity because it seemed like something we...

Hmm... I'm not entirely sure how to define 'casual' sex now. I had assumed that it meant sex with someone you didn't know, but that doesn't seem to fit. Would casual sex mean the difference between 'making love' and sex that's just for fun? Sex without the deep, emotional connection? If you...
