You know, when I realized that I had fallen in love with my boyfriend I never imagined what's going to happen in the next few weeks could never materialize. I believed that the idea of having him live in the basement was an indulgent fantasy that lacked practicality. I never dreamed that being...

I've definitely experienced the 'commitment' stereotype. My Mother told me several of her lovely opinions about poly including that I should take off my wedding ring and that I wasn't really married anymore. She seemed to believe I was betraying my wedding vows as well until I reminded her...

awww! thanks guys! I've been smiling all day today <3

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...

LOL! Thanks for the support Honestheart :D And ksandra, honestly? I was so focused on talking to the comic that I really had no idea how the audience was reacting, other than the odd chuckle or 'ooooo!' sound when I referred to my hubby having a gf. I think if I had scanned over the audience...

Yeah, the time issue can be difficult, although the benefits of having so much love in your life far outweighs that in my own experience. The downside, for me anyway, is the way other people view my choice to be poly. Most have been supportive, or at least not openly judgmental. However, it's...

There's a Polyamory Certification Board!?!?! Dang... :P Welcome! :)

Welcome! :)

YGirl, the comedian was funny, the audience was just kinda 'checked out' not really listening, texting, etc. My bf and I thought he was pretty funny though. II - LOL! Yeah, nothing like shocking Rednecks, it's what us Liberals do for fun on Friday nights :P

Thanks Maca :)

Welcome! And congratulations on the new baby! :)

I've just come out to most of my family within the last few weeks and it has been both liberating and heartbreaking. All of our friends have been so incredibly loving and supportive. Family has ranged from concerned to confused to indifferent, but mostly our relationships with them are still...

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...

As I often have been, I'm grateful to all who post their journey on this site. Reading yours RP, gives me hope, hope that the people I love can also learn to accept me. At this point, I don't see it happening, but I'm allowing myself to hope, giving things time. Thank you :)

So how do I maintain a relationship with my Dad now? My husband and I are invited to Easter dinner with my Dad, Step-Mom, brother and family, and I honestly can't decide if we should accept the invitation. My husband is greatly offended by much of what my Dad said and he isn't sure if he can...

Thank you so much for sharing this, RP. With everything I'm going through with my Dad right now, this gives me hope.

Welcome! :) I see you're from Ontario, always nice to see some fellow Canadians join us ;)

Happy thoughts sent your way, LR. :) My best friend went through a similar surgery about 10 years ago and it went so well. She was so happy afterwards.

Ha ha Honestheart :P Actually, my bf had never been in a poly relationship before but knew right from the beginning that I was married and not wanting an 'affair'. We all kind of learned poly together :)

I definitely experienced this when my hubby and I first started exploring the idea of an open marriage. We weren't familiar with the term 'poly' in the beginning, we just wanted to meet people and date and see where things went. Knowing that I was married and open to meeting other men opened...
