Thank you all for your words of wisdom and sharing your experiences. After my father and I were estranged several years ago, for over 2 years, we never really resolved what had caused us to not speak to each other. We just kinda picked up where we left off. I was also no longer an unsure 18...

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...

Ha, ha, I was just thinking about posting regarding this topic. I don't know if I could put a specific time frame on it, just doing the 'poly' thing and communicating openly about expectations and boundaries. I'm assuming you would have your own room/space/suite, whatever makes everyone...

Welcome to the forums and ask away! I'm somewhat new to poly stuff, so alot of the initial jealousy and difficulties are fresh in my mind, but since we've all been able to talk and work through them? It's been so worth it, I'm happier than I've ever been! P.S. Your positivity is awesome GS *hugs*

Welcome! Please lurk, share, whatever you're comfortable with :) Personally, I love reading about everyone's experiences with poly stuff, good or bad, it's just so insightful to learn about everything people have dealt with.

Welcome! I hope the forums are able to help 'untangle' somethings for you :P

Welcome! Gotta love the nervousness and excitement :P Hope you're able to discover some insight from all the cool journeys being shared on the forums :)

Welcome, I hope you find the insight you are looking for. I've found many of the stories and thoughts shared on the forums to be very, very helpful in my own journey with all of this. Best of luck to you! :)

Welcome! You've been having quite the amazing journey, I look forward to reading more of your experiences and thoughts on the forums :)

I did it! I told my mom, my stepmom, and most of my staff about being poly. :) I was incredibly worried about reactions, confusion, or possible prejudice, but so far there haven't been any situations I couldn't handle. I'm so relieved. I'm just so happy! My stepmom (bless her liberal...

Thank you so much for sharing this with us, truly a beautiful love story :)

I'm trying to understand how expressing a vague opinion about 'some' people, underlined or whatever, translates into this huge insulting & agressive behaviour? Isn't Mono entitled to express an opinion without having to justify it? He feels a certain way about 'some' people leaving, and...

Here, here redsirenn! There can be a fine line between debating and arguing sometimes and without the cues of intonation and body language, online forums are not always the best venues. I respect those who try and avoid getting dragged into these vicious circles of trying to 'explain' or...

My husband has started seeing someone and I had a chance to sit down for coffee with both of them last night. We had a great conversation and I'm looking forward to spending more time with her as we seem to have alot in common :) I have had weird little moments of jealousy regarding her...

awww Maca! Those stories are awesome! :) By the way, I love the little quote from your little one "No worddies be happy". Stop talking, listen, and enjoy. That's a very cool philosophy from one so young, ha ha :P Great topic to start! Thanks world!

Would you have a link to the article redsiren? I'm curious to read it and see if she's able to quantify any of her results as part of some kind of study or if she's just making a general observation. If I could throw my two cents in... I think some of the posts stating that most of us have...

Something caught my eye in another thread I was reading, the BDSM one. Mono, you referred to the 'culture' of BDSM and I wondered. What define's 'culture' and 'community' in the poly sense? Can you be part of the poly culture and not the community? Just thinking out loud :)

Ohhh, I'm blushing furiously at the thought of answering some of these questions, but I also think I need to :P I'm very, very shy in general and can be very passive when it comes to sex. I think having 2 very different partners (hubby & bf) has gone a long way to bring me out of my shell...

Last summer, I decided to take a trip by myself. I was feeling lost and aimless and didn't know what was wrong exactly. I could have taken my husband or a friend, but I wanted to do it on my own, mostly because I had never travelled by myself before. I travelled through several US states...

Jools, I admire your strength, even facing such ignorance and intolerance from people that are supposed to support you. Even hearing stories like yours, where being openly poly has definate pro's and con's, it still gives me comfort. I'm not alone, whatever I choose to do there will people...
