You know, even if people were paying attention (and they generally don't), very few pay enough attention to catch you out at anything. And, of those, a good number just don't want to know. As for holidays and other events, don't be too hard on yourself. You're going to make a few missteps here...

We celebrated holidays with each others' families before we became romantically involved and we still do. We're not out or overtly lovey-dovey, period, so to inject that into one of those events would fell weird. If your families haven't met the other partner and that partner doesn't have...

Weird that no one brought up anything around this: Unfortunately, getting into history of alternative family structures being sanctioned by religions is a little deep for the younger ones and the older one is seemingly OK with the situation.... I don't have kids and don't have parents who are...

T and I went through almost two months of hell with E along these very lines. He kept pushing us away and saying he wanted to be by himself. That was easier for me since I'm only home on weekends, but a tougher, yet ultimately necessary, choice for T. After T left and E got all the alone time...

Fig and Blythe and Wife (to be named later?), interesting situation you find yourselves in. Talk a lot, figure things out before you take action and talk afterwards. Communication is beyond key. Also, it sounds like, to me, you've got some situational polyamory going on akin to the arrangement...

Welcome. Does your name have anything to do with an empty urn?

Wait, they charge for these? That's beyond weird. These hold no interest for me. I'd rather just get cuddly with my people. Maybe I'm just simple that way.

Woot is pretty darn popular. They offer one deal a day across their spectrum of sites - Woot, T-Shirt Woot, Wine Woot and a bunch of others. Shirt Woot puts one shirt up for sale each day as well as runs a themed derby. The derby shirts on Shirt Woot are submissions for which people vote...

^^^That's more or less how I saw it. Consensual, hidden with a side of smirk on the side. Then again, it's only a T-shirt.

OK, I see a couple of troubling signs here: 1. You already feel like she's dismissing any input you have on the matter and plowing ahead with, at the very least, investigating this relationship style that you are simply not interested in. 2. It sounds like you are away from any social safety...

Without going too deep into Woot! Shirt psychology here, a good number of the other designs had the idea of actively pushing away a third person/entity/wookie/etc. I liked that this shirt won because it was inclusive and actually showed a gesture that I've done before with T and E. And, yes, T...

I've been waiting for 3 to come out on Netflix for a while. Then it was a question of having a night alone to sit and watch it. Basic storyline...a longtime Berlin couple (yes, this is a subtitled film for those who care about that sort of thing) find that the spark has gone out of their...

This did nothing to soothe my jealousy. :p That sounds exactly like the sort of scenario I'm looking for since I'm not really into the militant, alternative lifestyle in your face crowd.

See...you need to move next to stranger neighbors than you seemingly have. We unwittingly did that and there can be no finger pointing from their side of the road to ours. ;)

So, I think the premise of this Shirt Woot Derby was a little flawed...Three's a Crowd? Boo! But, I think the winning shirt overcame that (especially when you look at some of the other contenders), and, yeah, I ordered.

Jealous. Really jealous. I think it may be time for me to seek out an IRL poly group with whom to chat around the NYC area. I somehow managed to eek by for about a year with not saying anything about our triad in front of my mono coworkers. Then I go and hire a very nice, very chipper woman to...

Really good thread with helpful links. Gonna give it a little bump here. Oh, btw, I found this doing a tag search. ;)

I find us, a MFM triad, disappearing either into big cities or camping in the middle of nowhere as the best retreats for the three of us. In either place, we find we can be a little more of ourselves than if we're just at, say, the local Target. We have fairly similar interests (or at least...

It's funny how people presume cheating can only take place without the cheater's SO's knowledge. What if a sanctioned, blessed upon poly arrangement with limits is taken beyond those limits by one of the parties involved? Say there's a "no overnights" rule and, tada, the sun rises and one of...

I'm no expert, but this sounds a little less like polyamory and more like cheating. Before you do something you really regret, ask yourself why you want to stay married to your husband instead of going off to be with this other person.
