RP, you are one strong, independent gal! You've got more guts, heart and love than just about any woman I've had the chance to converse with in my 52 years. You and the rest of us will struggle 'til the day we die to become fully independent from our parents. It is the curse of us children! Of...

RP, this is absolutely disgusting, what this guy is doing. I had no idea a service like this was out there, but why doesn't it surprise us that some businessman has figured out another way to make some money? Isn't this just some way to legitimize a pimp? Can you imagine what dregs those 4.6...

Agreed, some things you just have to question and set your own path.

That's fantastic RP and Mono. I am glad to hear about some positive changes in the family. Nothing hurts worse than the feeling you're being cut off from something/someplace that means so much to you in your lives.

RP, you're explaining the "fight" was right on! We all have to fight together to make this lifestyle work for all. I know we have done our share, as you are well aware. It now certainly appears that ND has other issues which need addressing. (which we all do at times), but my overiding concern...

Lot of stuff here, Nevins. Some good, some maybe not so. It (love) can be done. There must be love for polyamory to come into play. All the other stuff you describe is just lust, fetish or swinging. Not bad things, but not accurately described as polyamory. Others will surely chime in. Enjoy...

Getting by for now, Mono, thanks for your good wishes. Our "V" is functioning much better. My wife is progressing and my OSO is understanding. That's all I can ask for out of life. You all seem to be progressing with family and amongst yourselves. Interesting reading about RP's wondering how...

Welcome....you'll find some great people here.

ND......hang in there...our "V" has been where you guys are......so far we've hung on and are slowly progressing along. There's often a very slim line between a great "V" and utter distruction of three very good people/lives. I learned the hard way, ultimatums don't work. They are destructive...

Mono, nice album. Nice to finally get to put faces with the names. Thanks for including me on your list!

Mono, my friend......I bet when life's got you frazzled and you have to stop, collect yourself and get your bearings back.......you only smell one rose in the whole garden!....:p PS...I mean that in a nice way! But I tend to sniff 2!

Shenanigans! The ring thing is moot, IMO......the big ? is what the hell is Anne doing and is this the kind of poly arrangement that Vi and HMA signed up for? If it isn't right in all 3 parties heads, then it's all for naught. They're getting way ahead of themselves with the ring talk.

That's great that the family is starting to come around, Mono. I hope it continues to improve for you all.

RP, thanks for the link. I was wondering for many years what I was. I found out that for most of my life I've been an ESTJ and mostly still am. But as my journey changes course, I think I sense some changes coming in my assigned category! Wonder if they've conceived of a truly accurate category...

Welcome, it sounds like you're in the same situation as me and my 2 loves....you should have some great conversations here.

This forum, and I can't remember for the life of me how I found it......has been a Godsend.....I never, ever dreamed of approaching my wife about moving our marriage forward in a poly way, but with so much to read and learn about on here, it quickly became a no brainer to do so. I truly hope...

My wife just finished the book and handed it over to my OSO....with special emphasis on her reading the last 3-4 chapters especially. Ours is not the typical "open" marriage as we are a committed and exclusive poly threesome. Yet, my wife felt there were some significant parts in the book that...

If it's a true pure longer-term poly relationship amongst great friends/loves, I see no problems. I'm more worried about transient or short-term relationships. Of course, plenty of monogamous godparents have gotten divorced, split or whatever. How many times has that come into play when caring...

Mono, don't you ever take a giant step back and unload? Oh, that picture. I'm in dire need of a mental eraser. lol

Hello Fidelia...hope you are well....gotta love LR's line about the secure/insecure person, don't you? So true.
