I thought, after reading this thread, that this would be a good place for our example. I identify as Athiest type 2. I don't really care whether there is a god or not, but I don't go out of my way to offend any deity either. I don't consider this agnostic as agnostic implies that you wonder...

I like straight, 35 year old white males ;) ...I'll be married to one in a month (he turns 35 then). Labels are fine, misuse and distortion of labels is the problem. All adjectives are labels, whether colors, numbers, or other. And they all can and most have been used to be insulting or...

No offense SC, but I think that LR and Samaki have gotten past this and are now understanding what the other was saying, as explained in posts 5 & 8. Now back ON TOPIC: Nelara, as the other posters have stated, you have every right to be upset. Not only did your husband show disrespect for...

Definitely need a "like" button here. :D That is awesome.

Glad to hear things are going ok. Anticiaption sure can be a bitch sometimes. ;) I agree completely with Mono. I'm not sure how much this will help in your situation, but my husband actually wrote a letter to Elric telling him that yes, he was ok with us persuing a romantic relationship. Elric...

I guess I get to be one of those exceptions as well. Cajun and I broke up for 10 months. I moved back to IL (400 miles away) and even started dating someone else (at the insistence of friends and family). The reason for our breakup was because he "could not see us being married." We are going...

Although, it does typically spread from one person to the next as opposed to many people at once as it is the kissing disease...that would make it a serial monogamist. :D

I was wondering if he offered to introduce the two of you. Not anything sexual but just to meet and maybe get to know each other a little. This seems to be a typical thing in poly (unless the relationship is a DADT kind). I am concerned though. Something about the way you tell your side of the...

First off, I agree with Ariakas, you have the right to know. Although the problems are not deal breakers for you personally, the lack of honesty should be. Don't put him on too high a pedestal just because he is "nice" and "sexy" Second, researching is not stalking. The big difference is that...

Oh I like that! That is exactly how I feel...now if only my daughter felt the same way. lol

I think we are outside of the range of cities you mentioned being as we are in Minneapolis, MN. But I hope you have a great trip!

Copied from another thread to keep from derailing that thread...hope the mods don't mind the semi-double post. :rolleyes: sucky, sucky and more sucky. I found out this afternoon that I do indeed have Gestational Diabetes to go with my high blood pressure which could eventually turn into...

Mono! I'm surprised at you. It's not the online resources that fuck up the relationships, it's the fact that there were problems not being dealt with or communication was not good in the first place. I agree that online things can exacerbate issues, but I would never agree that they CAUSED the...

It sounds to me like she is nervous around you. She seems to be trying, at least, to associate with you, but I'm guessing she is afraid of stepping on toes or saying/doing something that might set you off. Is it possible that she has had a precious poly relationship where this sort of thing has...

Best response to this, "Oh? And how many times have you tried it and had it fail?" Then you will either learn some "deep, dark secret" of theirs, or they'll just say, "I'd never do that!" or some such. Which also has a simple reply, "Well don't knock it 'til you've tried it." and just keep on...

The answer is simple...just doing it is the hard part. Tell them both the truth. I wouldn't necessarily do this at the same time with them sitting together or anything insane like that, but they both deserve the truth and you deserve not to keep up with your lies. Since one already knows you...

I'm glad you are feeling better about this. It is amazing how sometimes feelings or reaction change like a coin being flipped. All chaos and then plop, there you go. :) Hopefully she will get her batteries charging again and be able to "plug back into"" your relationship. That is what happened...

This little girl is happier than a tornado in a trailer park (love that line!) So, in essence I made the first move. Elric and another mutual friend "friended" each other on FB and since I had been such a good girl lately I thought I'd take a peek at his profile and see if he had gotten the new...

I really hope he can clean up and stay clean. I have a similar although a little more distant story. A very dear friend who I've known for 15+ years is a recovered Heroin, Cocaine and Pot addict. She is like a little sister to me and when I could not help her, heal her, in essence control her to...

Agrees with YGirl on the "name" of the relationship. But to the OP's original question... It doesn't matter the relationship of the people around. "Common courtesy" dictates that one is not on the phone or texting (which is basically the same thing) when one is eating with others, spending...
