    Split Confusion

    Hi unicorn and welcome! Your situation rings so very true with me as I am sure it does with the majority of members here. Jealousy is a natural emotion that we all have the pleasure of dealing with unfortunately... In our situation, I am the one that was in the other side of the fence- I got...

    Marvin's Story- Zepplin, Nina Simone & Linkin Park

    One thing I have noticed is that if your individual relationships are not sound then you are building nothing more than a breeding ground for jealousy and resentful emotions. Once I realized the amount of work that it takes to be in an actual real, productive relationship there were a couple of...

    Lurker No More

    Hello drummer I'm glad to hear that you and Flower are working towards a new path of honesty and communication. The communication part, coupled with this honesty of course, is a sure way to a happy marriage. I have experienced much of the same brutal self inflection and honesty that you are...

    new to this and need help

    Bingo! Don't let your insecurity run your life. If it turns out that he finds someone else that he wants more than you in the future, would you want to be with him anyway ? Do what YOU want to do and let him do the same. You and he have a pretty solid background it sounds like so build on that...

    Hi syd If your relationship revolves around 'as long as our connection is the strongest' and 'will be love someone more than me' then you will spend the remainder of it doing nothing but worrying about what he's doing (and with whom) or looking over your shoulder for the prettier girl. Either...

    So, We're a New, Closed V. Thoughts?

    Hi there Chap Hats off to you guys for handling the changes in your relationship in what I believe to be a mature manner. The intrinsic "guy thing" about being jealous and possessive in indeed a difficult hurdle to clear. It sounds like the two of you are moving in the right direction and are...

    Confused

    Ok I don't know how to quote something from this ding dong phone but if your husband thinks you are pushing him away by suggesting he form a relationship that meets his needs then he sounds awfully closed minded. If he let you go once I wouldn't get too hung up if doesn't accept you as you are...

    Confused

    No that is absolutely not crazy. To me it sounds like you are well on your way to a happy poly relationship...If your ex husband satisfies some emotional need that you have but misses the mark in the bedroom then maybe that's how your relationship should be. Polyamory, fortunately, isn't defined...

    Confused

    Hiya Janelle, Nice to meet you. You know him better than anyone here- I he's insecure, jealous, or possessive I would say he's probably not going to be down with it. Otherwise just bring it to him in a non threatening manner and see how it goes.... One think to think about though is whether you...

    It seems the seasons always return... poly/mono

    Hello James I would forward her a copy of this post... It seems to me that you are a very grounded, non-threatening individual who is comfortable and secure in your relationship. I cannot see why she would be so hesitant or worried about bringing this forth unless she is not giving you the...

    In a "V" triad and in the closet--feeling sad about it!

    Hello, Our relationship is quite similar to your own. One side of our family knows, accepts and appreciates our situation, while the others two sides do not. One of which is out of respect for them, as they simply are close-minded individuals. I sometimes equate the frustration of hiding our...

    Marvin's Story- Zepplin, Nina Simone & Linkin Park

    In 2009 it so happened that an opportunity presented itself that Nina and I could move across the state to offer our son a better education and I a better job. As Nina and Zepplin had not been apart in well over a decade, and Zepplin and my relationship mending but still somewhat unsteady, this...

    Just not into my husband's girlfriend

    Ah, I understand. Good for you that you were able to work things out. It sounds like you are a very stable individual and it sounds like you and John have communicated your feelings to each other I should clarify that when I say get it, I don't mean to insinuate that you should go people...

    Just not into my husband's girlfriend

    It sounds to me like this first attempt at a poly relationship was fostered from an episode of your husband cheating on you a while back. That's not exactly the best approach to starting on this path, so no wonder you aren't exactly feeling a deep connection with Bex. What do YOU want? Poly...

    Just not into my husband's girlfriend

    Greetings, counterclockwise. I don't know what feelings you are worried about. It sounds to me like you have given them as much latitude to pursue their relationship as they need. Is it that you don't want to have a sexual relationship with Bex that bums John out? It sounds like your family...
