By narcissism (seriously, i find the term narc rather offensive and dehumanizing), you folks mean NPD? It's not what you paint it. Its bad, but there are worse PDs, both from the perspective of others and the person. For example PAPD is usually the worst when it comes to life outcomes and, idk...

None more bare than the shoemaker's wife and the smith's mare

Well, i recently got reconnected with my ex-friend and ex-partner. We broke up, with fireworks, leaving ruins, ashes and much gritting of teeth. 14 years ago. And now we are, well, probably going to be back together. It's weird, interesting and unusual experience.

I have too much time at my hands... So, there was a mention in one of the stories by Rickert about anger (the, uh, anger management story). About how it was, well, that there was a problem Veaux had with Rickert expressing anger. And hey, there is a fragment in MTT that might be relevant to...

The Game Manual? :confused: :D :o

I am kind of confused. You mean RA is more likely to call someone else a partner? And FV is the RA in this scenario? Well, yes, that's likely - though, as i wrote (and edited for clarity later), FV claims in that epilogue of TGM, that they are "still a family but no longer romantic partners"...

Heh, reminds me of rather similar situation my ex was in... uh, nevermind. Direct communication works wonders except when it doesn't. This shit is complicated. I mean, it works wonders when there is miscommunication, but it could be something else and the most common failure mode is IMO people...

It's common criticism and one i agree with. And he's not the best writer, too, comes of as very dry. Nevertheless, MTT, the book, or the website, is very good. I remember reading it, what, 14 years ago and it was basically: "yeah, that's obvious, that's true, that's exactly this", when we first...

Let me check... Game changer story ends 11 years before its publication, with divorce between Celest and Veaux. It has 3 pages epilogue, in which Rickert is briefly mentioned, and there is a lot in there about Amber, and, curiously (it is stated there), that they are no longer romantic...

Let's call him Franek ;) You mean this collection of links? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IIZtz6HyI-bRZs26DwNTWwYtQ_l5R4Il9zj2PKEflas/edit#gid=0 Well, i'm not particularly weirded out by the fact Franklin and Amber had different ideas about what is between them after she completely...

As far as i know, there is that very short, 100 words or something, first quora reply by Veaux. Well, perhaps there are blogs or livejournals or whatever where this went on, but googling digs up nothing. Or the book, Game Changer, which got criticized by beign one-sided account? Account with...

TBH, going by that thought, Minx is worse here, since it was her question and her podcast. And yes, i get this feeling of irritation, but not as a principle (speaking for other people). In this case: "Franklin was asked how monogamous people (as a whole) feel in these relationships", given the...

On a side note, why? Do you think you need to be part of the group to speak about such things? It is somewhat common attitude, but i find it weird, i mean, the whole field of psychology is basically speaking about other people's experiences or even inner thought process. And in a way, sociology...

Well, you could think of cheating as of breaking a promise. An agreement. We actually do use that word in these circumstances already, and it's easy to see why - that's what matters most here. As for imagining... perhaps knowing poly people and seeing it for yourself could give you some...

Damn, i'm angry. Enough to dig up my long-lost login and password... It's worse. Quoting Rickert: "You’re probably already giving him money. If you aren’t now, you will be soon. You may not be supporting him directly, but you’ll be paying to go see him, and paying to bring him to you, and...

Dzien dobry. :) Well, sorry, if i seemed to be, hmm, detached? Didn't mean to, it was nice surprise. I'm sure somebody will help me. :) EDIT/ Better than my English certainly, i had to edit a thing or two...

Oh! What a surprise! Hmm. I'm tempted to ask if it means your family is so conservative that you have no trouble imagining it, or that they told you various stories about the place they're from... ;) But i think it would mean either: 1) you not answering and getting offended by mine...

Hello, My name is Tomek Kulesza, and i live in Warsaw, Poland. Recently, a friend of mine came up with the idea of organising a small polyamory film festival. She runs a sort of cultural associacion, and will be coordinating the project here, in Warsaw. I, on the other hand, was privileged...
