It is difficult to speculate what "K" issues are without a bigger picture of the situation. Has K had issues with other male partners you've had in the past? If so, are the current issues connected to the fact that D is now a member of your household. It just an opinion, but I suspect the most...

I really enjoy Rving, hiking, swimming, and cast iron cooking. I spent lots of time in a California RV park that has lots of wildlife. Specifically, deer, bobcats, owls, to many gophers, and even some mountain loins. Up until this spring, a rancher across the road was raising a few buffalo (5)...

Recently trying to lose weight myself. Tried exercising starting last summer but ran into what I thought was a hip problem so I slowed up on the exercising. Finally got to my MD last Friday. Yes I know its terrible to avoid the doctor for almost a year, but other priorities got moved to the...

Beyond pointing to therapy is the need to take a leap of faith. Not all males want or need sex as the basis for sustaining a relationship with a woman. I'm probably giving too much information about myself, but while sex is the ultimate in a bonding experience, it is not what holds me to a...

Its hard to tell precisely how my mother knew. She wrote that I was easily attracted, and always followed through on my instincts. She noted that I tended to collect relationships especially before I was married and exhausted myself in trying to please and emotionally support all of them. She...

Knightsaber, perhaps it will help to remember that one person cannot always be "all" or meet all needs of another. I consider this the very essence of polyamory. The topic which comes up from time to time when I discuss alternative relationships with monogamous friends is that I'm somehow...

Just wanted to say hi and describe my journey. Last year in March my mother passed away from Alcoholism. In a search for answers I started reading her journals. While I never found the answers I was looking for about her life, I discovered she knew I was poly before I did. It is/was disturbing...
