    The Vandalin Saga...

    Almost 2 weeks... So, it's been almost two weeks with no contact between me and Elric except one short email to him basically saying that what sucks most about not being friends on FB is that I can't TP his barn on FarmVille. If you don't play any of the games there, you may not get the...

    birth control for men

    Although I would agree with the temporary neutering, I have to disagree with the "license to breed". Look at who controls the governments currently, how many poly people would be given the "right" to have kids? How many LGBT? How about people with depression that is treatable and being treated...

    New to this and dealing with jealousy

    I would suggest figuring out the cause of the jeaslousy. What do you feel/think you are losing when they are together and are you actually loosing it or just afraid of losing it? Is there a pattern to when you have these meltdowns? Is it when they are out together and you are home alone? Is it...

    Time

    This can actually be a great idea. My hubby and I had a good time doing this after I discovered Torrid. (Think Hot Topic for larger-sized women.) I had bought one dress, a pair of fishnets, and my first pair of thigh-high suede boots (god, I love them!) for a date. It was the first time I had...

    Time

    I have yet to have a functioning poly relationship, but I think this question will vary from situation to situation, depending on things like living arrangements, work and other "unavoidable" time sinks, like children, etc. Also thrown into the mix is the partner's expectations or desires. I'd...

    new...how to approach partner about another relationship?

    Well, this sounds similar to how my hubby and I got started down the poly path, and although the relationship with my other didn't work out I think the same may apply. When I first started talking to Elric (the other) again and we started being flirty, I simply told Cajun (hubby) what was going...

    The Science of Feeling Good

    Here is another thought that you reminded me of when you mentioned skinny < size 14. What is your bone size? If you are not sure, take your right hand and try to touch the thumb and middle finger around your left wrist, the narrowest spot. If they touch easily, you are small boned. If they just...

    Children and Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    I agree with Derby. My daughter is only 3 but she definitely knows when I'm not home. When I'm going or staying out of town for a couple days I just say, "Momma has to help/go see some friends/a friend." This applies for when I was going to see Elric and for when I go to see other platonic...

    The Science of Feeling Good

    I for one can understand a lot of what you are saying and going to do here. Athough never considered "massively" overweight, I have been at least 50 -75 lbs more than what is considered healthy for a long time. Good ol' puberty took away my high metabolism. lol I have also had health problems...

    The Vandalin Saga...

    Feeling pretty decent right now. We weren't really able to talk much as he was at work. But I decided that yes, taking a break would be good for both of us. I sent him an email telling him this and a few other things that I needed to say. And although it did sting a little to "unfriend" him...

    The Vandalin Saga...

    He just friended me again and told me that he thought he would give me a "boost" as I seemed determined to resolve the issue. He didn't mean it as a surprise and apologized if the intention was misunderstood. I think I had just hoped that this could be a mutual agreement and not a unilateral...

    The Vandalin Saga...

    Thank you for your input SJ and RS. And yes it is one of those times where it is easier said from the outside than done from the inside. Although I feel I need to defend myself on a couple of points. I am not asking him to explain every action. I am only asking for an explanation as to this...

    The Vandalin Saga...

    And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse... Saturday night Elric and I had another talk. This was instigated by a new email I sent him requesting that we talk about a decision I had made. Or more, I was in the process of making. I had decided that it might be a good idea to...

    Polyamory and affairs

    I have to agree with SJ here. If you break down and go with the intended meaning of affair, poly is all about affairs if you are married or in an LTR. Affair=having relations with someone who you are not married to. Cheating=lying or misleading to get what you want. What you have described...

    how do you get around charges of adultery if married and poly?

    I don't know if Minnesota is the only state that does this, but we get a huge discount on our marriage license if we do take some kind of marriage course. This can be through a church or through a trained professional. Our officiant is a good friend of ours and although a church person herself...

    Illness, polyamory, and changing too fast

    Change, as you probably know, is normal. I can't give much advice on the relationship "what to do" except keep trying to communicate. What I can tell you is that sometimes meds stop working. With your unlisted myriad of health problems, and the multitude of meds that I'm sure you have probably...
