Remember when we bought used, instead of pre-owned, cars? I think (without going into any personal details, so as to keep this completely an intellectual exercise ;)) that the people who hate the word/term/idea of primary are going to also hate it by any other name. Lipstick on a pig and...

Amen to that. Just from a pure definition, a central partner seems to me like the hub of a wagon wheel to which all other partners are attached. We're not out to anyone, so, in our world, friend, boyfriend, roommate, my idiots, etc. serve us just fine. And how you treat people really speaks...

^^^^That sounds damn healthy to me. We did a ton of talking about this, that and everything when we were starting. It provided a really good path as we stepped off the map. Now, we're back to just living and being ourselves and enjoying our lives together. I'd consider myself polysaturated...

Who isn't haunted by Portland?

Don't you think if he loved you, he'd realize you need him to be there now more than ever. You should definitely seek counseling soon because you are going to have to reconcile just how much energy you're going to have to put into dealing with him for the rest of your life. Having a kid with...

x2 on the everybody talking suggestion. You might try just talking to the people involved in the situation. Her, her husband and however much you can get your husband to talk about it. (Don't push too hard, some people are OK with situations more so if they don't have to talk about it.) Talk...

Yep, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

You know, I'm probably guilty of what you two are talking about. However, people don't reach enlightenment at the same time and definitely not by the same path. And answers that anyone had for anyone else have come from experiences, some of which cannot be directly injected into someone else's...

I agree with the Poly by choosing/accident/no other way around it - that's how I identify. Even though I had experience being a tertiary member of another, larger group (think moon orbiting distant planet), all that did as we figured our way into a more physical relationship with my men was...

And saying mean, spiteful things to people about situations you can't hope to understand because you're not the one living them is apparently express check-in behavior for Heaven, riiiight? I wonder how much you know about their personal relationships and what they do in the bedroom. Do you...

Our situation grew out of a deep friendship between the three of us and our decision to do what it took to maintain that friendship. We did a lot of talking about it before I actually began something physical with E because we wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. I really fought...

That sounds like the perfect use for Ron Jeremy rum. OP, do post up if you visit the club. We're planning a trip through that territory in early May and want to know whether to put this on our schedule. ;)

Ours developed fairly naturally over the course of about three and a half years. Friendship, several vacations together and joint home ownership all came before anything romantic. That's not to say there were feelings and desires - babeland.com made a lot of money off of me in 2010 as I fended...

Our inclusion/formation of a MFM triad was heavily negotiated. Even now, the way I think about it differs a lot from the way my partners think of it. Some facts - the day before anything started, here was the status quo: F. Me - solo M. T - solo-ish, in a roommates-with-benefits with E, but not...

That stuff first came out last spring a few weeks before a friend's wedding and we thought it would be a hilarious gift. I found a place in NYC that was selling it, hopped on the subway one night after work and popped out in Brooklyn. The liquor store was one of those places that sounds...

Hopefully the Ron Jeremy club is more tasteful than this stuff: It's really freakin' awful.

Complete congrats! A move and some distance always helps with perspective on things. We're planning a trip through the Pacific Northwest. I'm a reluctant traveler in that region because I know I'm going to fall in love with the area.

Sounds like he's looking for polyfidelity and you're not. That might be a good place to start some intense discussions.

I'm a firm believer that a bit of discussion before anything happens is never a bad thing. Good luck!

Man, you got a good taste of what some ladies go through when starting up with a new gyn. That stinks. I'm in a weird situation - I'm a contract worker who spends her weeks away from home. It makes sense to have a doctor close to where I work since I'm there more often that not, but I chose...
