    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    I`m going by people`s own definitions (as opposed to what`s allegedly intrinsic). I think of social forces as being "natural" if you`d excuse the word. Or, rather, of nature being "unnatural." So, the back-to-nature argument doesn`t vibe well with me. I know what is. What coulda shoulda woulda...

    My experience with them was similar.

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    No. I simply think some people are monogamous, and some others (a minority) are polyamorous. I'm wont to shun the wing of polyamory that facies itself a revolutionary movement.

    It sounds like discomfort. I guess it`s unlikely your sister is anything like me in this regard, but the other possibility would be one of privacy. I am extremely private about my relationships and sexuality, and I likewise would rather people around me kept those things to themselves. I`m not...

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    I feel like him. I`m not responsible for other people`s relationships. Anyway, meeting women who are openly single or poly is exceedingly rare. I`ve been involved with at least one partner who was married. Actually, more, but one in a regular fashion. I don`t remember how long it lasted...

    Newbie dilemma

    I would stay away from PDA. Certainly before it`s discussed and consensual. I would also stay away from labeling your relationships to unsympathetic guests. But, to tell you the truth, the party doesn`t sound like it would be much fun for B. If he`s not within your close group of friends, I...

    Can`t you also break up with him?

    Advice on how to proceed

    Thanks for answering. I hope I`m not crass in saying that your situation is instructive to me, since poly is basically an abstraction to me. I`ve had concurrent casual partners, but in the one situation in which I was actually in love with two partners they did not give me consent. It`s one...

    Advice on how to proceed

    Sorry for asking so many questions, but do you live in the same household?

    Advice on how to proceed

    This is something I wonder about. A casual couple months in this forum and looking up other poly resources makes me think that most polys started out as mono marriages. I might be wrong, and it would be nice if others chimed in. In the open relationships I`ve had, though not nominally poly...

    Polyamory erasure

    Being a private and practical person, I can't relate to the ´serious´ = cohabitation and some contrived, Christian-residual ceremony. I find it quite comical, to be honest. That being said, I think marriage and cohabitation should be important to the people I want to have nothing to do with...

    I`m surprised. But, excellent comeback.

    Polyamory erasure

    I see a parallel between bisexual erasure and the kinds of dismissals dished out at me when I say I have feelings for multiple people. Bisexual erasure refers to the belief that bisexuals are either closeted gays, or an intermediary step toward homosexuality. A both coarser and subtler...

    Going to my first poly meeting

    Shouldn`t be an issue coming from my end. If we`re talking about women, I`d rather they take the initiative. And, when I do it, it`s because they`ve literally hit me over the head with it for ages...these days, even that might not work too well. I walk away on flirtation. Want me? Be blunt and...

    Going to my first poly meeting

    I swear, I can understand the Wiccan connection, but I`ve never understood what gamers have to do with poly. :D Just an observation, it wouldn`t be a problem either way. As for the bi thing, I don`t expect to share that with anyone there. If it happens, great. If not, then I`ll go to LGBTS...
