I'm not an active advice giver, but here I go :) Be gentle with yourselves and with each other. Your compassion for each other is evident in your post. It's ok to accept it's a hard path. At times it may feel like two different paths, rather than the one path that you may be used to walking...

And in addition. Love does have limits. When the cost of giving love comes at a cost that is too high to bear. Love can fail. Love does have limits and every person should be mindful of their own limits. The idea that love is limitless is ridiculous. No resource is. In my opinion.

I hear what HS is saying. With due respect NYCindie, poly in a world with a live in partner and children is so very different to practicing poly as a indie solo. So different that I would suspect there's different ball parks involved.

I second

Yes, deep joy. I say "yes" to deep joy, and therefore " yes" to life. You can cut the numbers 123456 if you like. That was a momentary lapse of reason upon joining. Momentary lapses can happen :)

Such is life huh ? It often hurts a lot.

Hey Charlie.. Oops.. Have not logged on here for a long time. I am well. My lover and his son have moved to Australia from France. That's a big move. I refer to our lives as "challenging happiness", much struggle, learning and adjusting for all of us. How are you ?

I'm a heterosexual woman in a loving and committed relationship with a bisexual man. We've discussed many, many different types of relationship styles; swinging, open, poly... Triads/dyads/V style... I could go on and on... We're yet to make up our minds on what we want. We're in no rush... We...

Baby steps forward are often undervalued. Difficult times can hit us all, through nobody's fault. Sometimes life is just very bloody hard. And acting with dignity through hard times is no baby step. Dignity is impressive.

Wonderful posts and wonderful thoughts. Thank you so much for taking the time to write them. I support much of your processes in thinking, and not to suggest you are at the end of that process, it is all a journey of course.. I now practice the lessons and values I have taken on by exploring...

What a lovely hello! Welcome friend and safe travels ahead for you and yours.

Hey there...still can't work out this damn message thing on this site. It's Chelsea rather than Bella :) Oh my life...perhaps a little like yours. It is big, it is busy, it is a source of constant bewilderment and I am grateful...and ok, I am also challenged often :) I don't come on this site...

So refreshing to read a blog where the love for one's partner is SO evident. I can't often see that, although one could assume it is there. Lovely !

Charlie, How you doing over there ?

In my humble opinion, it would seem wise to focus on your mental health issues. Attempting suicide is a frightful arena. Please seek some help on that and I'd be really happy to hear that you have done so.

Seems dishonest to me, I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping that knowledge to myself and I wouldn't feel comfortable if someone kept that sort of info from me.

I agree. Give her a shot.

I fell in love 5 days after talking with someone on the internet. I've never put my toes anywhere near Internet dating. We were introduced via a mutual friend to facilitate a discussion about music. At no stage before we met would I have used the term "boyfriend", but my friends used that word...

I've also been thinking of NRE a little of late. I've had numerous poly relationships in my past and numerous mono relationships. I don't really think of myself as poly or mono, but rather tend to work towards structure and comfort zones that seem appropriate at the time. I have a question for...
