I am a happy homemaker, too. You and I have the same philosophies it seems, like when it comes to work for example. I remember how rich I felt when I came across info on frugal living. I did not have to win a million dollars to live happily, I just needed to focus on frugality and re-access what...

Thanks Mono I feel schizo lately with this. I think overall I am getting better, though. I can imagine you must have difficulties as well. While you very much love and respect those in your life, I can imagine it is still a tough position with your ideals and such. Your love seems strong enough...

Did you ever know... JRiver - did you ever know that you're my hero...you are everything I wish I could be ;) Come on, you know the song!!

Good luck I am new here, too, and struggling myself. I opened Pandora's box (just by actually thinking and talking about it, but not actually doing anything) and not sure how to close it. I can see a lot of possible good points to it, but a whole lot of negative as well (more as it pertains to...

well... I guess we are a weird couple because we do enjoy spending most of our free time together. Always have. Friends have always teased us. We miss each other terribly when we are not together. With the sex - she has always had a low libido, which is why I had brought the convo of this to...

Missing something Yeah, this is what I am still hung up on! How is monogamy NOT a sign of true love???? Not forced monogamy, but the person only wanting to be with you by choice and natural inclination???! What is left sacred if you share your body and your emotions/love with someone else...

Where abouts in Australia? I have a strong connection to someone in Brisbane, and can't figure out how we will ever meet being as she and I both have issues when it comes to flying...sigh.

Somebody's got issues Whenever you read an article such as this with so much negative emotion against something, or disrespect, the writer has personal issues. I wish people could have enough self awareness to see that about themselves. Everybody and everything is merely a mirror reflecting...

hope you don't let my fear of male anatomy scare you off of a possibly very like minded friend

I dig you, by what I have read that you have written...which is A LOT, but not all of it ; ).

Thanks Thanks JRiver. Same to you. You strike me as very intelligent and a deep thinker as well. I swear I was reading a post by you talking about the present moment and the Now! That stuff is right up my alley ; ) not saying I practice it perfectly yet, but it aligns with my philosophical...

Yeah AL, what little I know of your story still amazes me. Sounds like fate, I suppose. You were not looking for it, they were not looking for it...you were gay and had never been with a man and you all happened to meet and all fall in love with each other. THAT sounds scary to me, because it...

hmmmmm I guess it can seem weird to point this out as I am in the poly forum, but it is an info and support forum, so a lot of people (myself included) come here to learn and try to understand (as it pertains to them and perhaps just in general) and are not necessarily identified poly. I am...

As I am still working through my thought processes on polyamory, something has occurred to me. This was an idea I approached my partner of 9 years with not too long ago, before realizing it is not something I am yet comfortable with at this time... if ever (for myself and our relationship). I...

Cool Thanks for taking the time to answer. That sounds cool. I am glad you are getting the 'balance' of male love. I can sense with myself the imbalance when it comes to loving one gender, but it is what it is. I came out at 17 as well, actually 14, but ran back into the closet because felt I...

hhmmmm Just curious - You have identified yourself as a lesbian for 13 years and have been in a lesbian relationship for 11 (albeit an unhealthy one and that really sucks). Was your partner a lesbian or bi? Did you both just decide to open your relationship up and try polyamory or were you...

I don't know Thanks for all your nice responses. I just don't know. I might give a little too much importance to the penis, I suppose. LOL. I have all these issues surrounding this, but still reading a lot on it, like I am supposed to figure it out. Supposed to get to some kind of place with...

I forgot to mention that we have a toddler. That's why I referenced what he does up there. Little jealous thing, he is.

Yeah, well, if nothing else, the discussion in general has helped our relationship in terms of re-evaluating us, what we want and what we don't, and more importantly, why. It also got us talking about us and what we need to improve. Like I said, I am the one who started the convo, because I am...

Redpepper, am I to understand that you were with a woman partner, in a closed relationship for 5 years, as a lesbian, then came out as bi, then met your husband, and eventually left her, after starting a poly relationship during your relationship with her? :confused: Hmm... I must say that does...
