I am sure I socialize with some poly people. However, I don't really know who most of them are. See, folks don't necessarily advertise this. No convenient shirts, badges, or tattoos. I do know a couple of my acquaintances are poly. However, I have never talked about it with them because I am...

I recently re-read the Smoke Bellew stories, which I have not read since I was a teenager. I forgot how they end. In the last story, the Wonder of Woman, Smoke is kidnapped by an Indian tribe. Labiskwee, the chief's daughter, falls in love with him, and he realizes he loves her, while still...

Statistically, you are 80% more likely to typo when correcting someone else's spelling. :D

What? They EXPECT monogamy in France? When did that start? :D (Just kidding. It's a funny stereotype. :) )

There are a few really annoying (to me) errors that can be taken care of with just a tiny but of work. Affect/effect, for one. What drives me up the wall is stuff that is wrong on it's face. Like "decapitated head". Did that head have another head growing out of it? Or "I could care less". If...

I was telling my mom that I got a cold call from a headhunter offering a job in Salt Lake City. She said "well, if you move there you could pick up another wife", to which I replied "you know, I could do that right here in town, too" She said I surprised her. :D (and yeah, I know all about LDS...

Oh, those... Well, the stuff about contracts and change and all that still applies. That said, there is a definite problem there. The problem isn't necessarily one of dishonesty towards the partner, though. There is a multitude of ways this can come about. It might be that people truly got...

A couple of things right out of the gate here. I don't recall signing any such contract when we got married. Is this a local thing? The marriage license and the marriage certificate only state the names of the parties and declare them to be husband and wife. The application we signed only...

Thanks! Oh, there is plenty of unease... For one, as much as I'd like our girl to move in with us, this isn't practical for the foreseeable future. This means we spend more time apart than we'd like to. To continue, there are social and familiar considerations. Our respective families don't...

I am a non-native English speaker. I can also write English. :) I know exactly what it takes to learn it and it annoys me when people don't make that effort. Seriously, it's not that hard. There are languages way more complex than English out there.

I think this isn't the right question to be asking. The question you should be asking "Is it OK for me to be involved with this particular married woman?". Lesbian or not, doesn't matter. Other married women don't matter either. The answer to this can't really come from people on the Internet...

On with the show. After our grand project was complete there was a celebration late into the night. Our girl spent the party quite literally in my wife's lap. This, by this point in time, was hardly unusual. They really do have quite an attraction for each other. When the party was breaking...

And then... Actually, before I get to that, there is something I should mention. Many of our meetings/dates/whatever were in bars with a few drinks thrown in. Alcohol definitely has the effect of making people go easy on the brakes in their behavior and speech. That said, both me and my wife...

Good points, Mr. FFR. Let me address some of them before proceeding. My doubts had very little to do with that. On one hand, the problem solver in me wanted to sit down and have a direct conversation laying out just how I feel. On the other hand I was deathly afraid of making our girl...

What I mean by the favorite part of the year is that there is a yearly project that we all work on. This is a good time for me because it means we all get together more regularly. I'm a selfish jackass that way. Being together clearly makes the girls happy, and them being happy makes me happy...

Now, I've been mostly lurking around here. I did have some questions, mainly whether we could be going too slow. Just as I was gathering thoughts to post, we seem to have collectively stepped off of a cliff. No, scratch that. It's more like we got shot out of a cannon and are floating on air...

This is a repost of my intro, so as not to retype it: http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22603 More to follow

I'd suggest checking out Spider Robinson. Poly is not a central theme in his work, but he very casually writes about "co-wives" and "co-husbands". And he's fun to read.

To answer the original question, I don't know. I wound up in this situation I am in, which is married and dating a girl together with my wife, quite accidentally. I wasn't sure what to make of it, and in the process of looking for answers it seemed like the poly shoe was the one that fit. All...

That, right there, is funny. Just about all conservatives I know complain about how liberals control the media. :D
