I'm not sure sure that the issue is you not being cut out for poly. Instead, it really seems like this guy and this situation are what is getting you down. And so I would echo the others and suggest a graceful (or not graceful, you do you) retreat. The situation seems icky and not at all...

Just tried a wonderful Imperial stout with almonds and vanilla. It was delicious, downright desertlike. But it had an unexpectedly high ABV. When I stood up, I was seeing vapour trails.

"You seem so cool, and I totally love theatre people... but I'm not seeing poly people anymore :)."

Well, Kitty, that's one of the reasons that we have this here forum! It isn't quite the same as in-person interaction, but I've found it to be a useful panacea to that feeling of isolation. If youve ever a mind to, please feel free to drop me a line!

Currently enjoying an Oberon (wheat beer with citrus).

I also have something of an empathic streak. I work in the theatre and somatics, so I'm constantly having to tune in to others. Often I find myself mimicking others' physical habits while I am working with them, and I have to take the time to reground myself. So I can totally see how spending...

Greetings to you, donuts. For some of what you are asking, I am afraid that the short answer to some of it is, "You can't." There's no ensuring that *greg* will always want to keep his relationship with your wife as a secondary relationship. As you acknowledge, the status of your relationship...

That certainly does sound like a rough go. I'd echo Tinwen's suggestion on looking into your intimacy issues with your wife. Often, before a problem can be solved, one must gather more data.

Since there's a "what are you listening to" thread, and I cannot find a "what are you drinking right now" thread, I thought I would start one, as I am always interested in what folks are quaffing as they discuss. As for me: At current, I am enjoying a wonderful Dačický, a pilsner-style beer...

Actually a little sad about OkC at the moment. Was having a wonderful discussion with someone, thought we might hit it off as friends (maybe more). But then her account vanished, so I'm either blocked or she just cancelled the account. Either way, a little sad at the missed opportunity...

Greetings Valleydoll, I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going so hot. These sorts of things can be a real bugger. So, to be clear, your husband has not specifically asked you to break it off with your bf but he also does not want to be with you anymore. Is this independent as to whether...

Oh yes. I have been with my current partner for a while now. Shaya, I'm not sure the discrepancy is something specific to the poly community. It might just be the nature of online dating that women get more attention than men. That seems to be the general trend across online dating sites...

Greetings All, I originally set this account up when my first wife and I decided we wanted to give the poly lifestyle a go some four years ago. To make a long story short, that relationship held together like a soup sandwich for a number of reasons. And so I've not been back in all that time...

My wife and I are new to this. We talk, but we don't feel an obligation to tell everything, particularly if we feel it needs to stay private.

Though aren't there a number of Shamanic traditions, aside from Amerindian and MesoAmerican? After all, the oldest visual depiction of a shamanic practitioner comes from Siberia. Cultural appropriation is one thing, but Shamanism is a set of techniques that are found in cultures on almost...

I hear you on the loneliness. My wife and I are in a poly setup and she has a boyfriend. They've been spending a lot of time together, and I'm really happy for her. And I don't feel neglected by her. But I do get this sense of loneliness, yet I also find myself having trouble getting out to...

Gotcha! Well, it is good to be here. A lot of our friends and family, when they caught wind, didn't really understand where we're coming from. So finding some sort of community was something needed, definitely.

OH! Heavens. I come across as a real downer here. My wife and I still go out, and our relationship is quite good and very fulfilling. Actually, we had an absolutely delightful dinner 'n a movie earlier this week. We talk regularly, etc. In many ways, our pre-poly and current relationship...

I'm a 30 year old teacher. My wife and I have been together for three years and up to this point have been monogamous. Then, just recently, I'd say about six months ago, my wife came out to me that she's a poly and would like to start an intimate relationship with a fellow she has been working...
