    Newbie Discomfort? Need Advice!

    Talk to him about PDA in general. What is he comfortable with? Do these things worry him? Talk to the gf about showing affection in front of her if you think it's an issue. Communication. Lots of it. That's the only advice I have.

    What Should I Do?

    I could forget the entirety of your post excepting this little bit, and it would still scream at me that you shouldn't be staying with him. You shouldn't be afraid that your partner is going to physically harm you. This shouldn't be a thing. He sounds very abusive and manipulative and while I...

    Did I make the wrong choice?

    I don't think you necessarily did anything wrong. Unless you have an agreement that you have to inform your partner whenever you have sex with someone else. Then doing so would be rather insensitive, and probably triggering, because that is the last thing she'd want to hear about.

    Mono dating a poly, looking for advice

    I'm not sure I would call my experience similar, because in the original opening stages of the relationship with my partner, there was a lot of dishonesty on his end. So when he started being more honest, there was already a lot of hurt in play. The short version is that it took leaving him for...

    Very new to open relationship - advice?

    Can you pin down why her age bothers you so much? My SO is 35. I'm 27. One of his girlfriends is 18, going on 19. This shocked me a little initially but overall she's a pretty mature person. We've actually become close friends.

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    I couldn't control him if I tried. Lol. It is my preference to live with him, obviously, since we have children together, but I'm not going to try to stop him from living with her in a separate home. I just don't think that's the choice he'd make if for some reason his options were only, live...

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    I'm mobile, so quoting things isn't going to happen. I don't live in Vegas anymore. Haven't since early 2013. Have not updated profile. Everyone involved knew the housing preferences. I knew theirs. She did not spring it on me. Both of them knew that if she and I don't get along, I'm not...

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    I'm not doing very well with specifics today, am I? lol. No. It's just he and I on the lease. The apartment will be myself, the mister, and our children. I would rather he split his time between two homes than make myself live with someone I do not get along with. We're not married. Not an...

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    Oh, it's not twins. My mistake in the wording. We already have a 2.5 year old son, and are expecting a little girl at the end of December. lol. The living situation right now is changing. I have been staying with my mother and he with a friend of his. We actually just signed a lease Wednesday...

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    I have tried to get to know her. I just don't like her. She's pushy, tries to plan others' lives for them, manipulative, pushes responsibility for her own actions off on other people, and often makes herself out to be a victim. She's not ALL bad. She sets goals and tries to stick with them...

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    I don't have an active smart phone. I do most of my texting and calling via Google Voice. I could block her number with that, but it would block all communications. I guess I could just block her and unblock her whenever he's visiting her or if I need contact her because something happened to...

    Why will this woman not leave me alone. :|

    I really dislike one of my metamours. I am pretty sure the only things we have in common is we both have an interest in learning Spanish, and we love the same man. That said, never have I asked him to stop seeing her, told her to go away, or any of that nonsense. That's his relationship, and so...

    Metamours

    If you're not yet comfortable meeting, then don't. If you never are, you never are. It may be wise to each have contact information for the other though, in case of emergency. My partner is in two other relationships. I'd consider all three of his relationships to be some degree of serious. I...

    Poly of Mono

    Then tell her when you see her. That's not a good thing to spring on someone later on when you know now that monogamy is not what you want.

    Broken boundaries and unsure

    A thought from a person who has previously had a partner that I found it very, very difficult to control myself around. We had some wicked chemistry and he knew how to get me going and gradually get me to a place where I was making poor decisions because I did not want the good feels to stop...

    How to not be manipulative while processing?

    I worry I'm going to feel similarly to this when my partner and I move in together next month. Particularly when he goes to visit the partner of his that I am not particularly fond of. Just expressing sympathy. I hope it gets easier.

    My situation

    C sounds rather manipulative, and not like someone I would trust. She wants to be honest with you, she says, so she will not tell you she won't sleep with T while there to work on the house. But you are expected to believe she will cut sexual ties when the house is sold, IF the house is even...

    I don't want to lose my girlfriend, please help!

    "I will try to be good and not go out of my way," to me sounds an awful lot like my partner's, "I'll try," and "I can't promise not to do anything because I don't know what will happen," from before I was accepting of him having intimate relationships with other women. That doesn't end well. To...

    Ways to let other know you are poly?

    http://www.cafepress.com/dd/80880113 Pins? heh. Not my shop, for the record. Just remembered I'd seen an "infinity heart" some people used to signify or represent poly and did a quick search to see if there was physical merchandise.
