Understand... V's parents are not cool with it. Our friends that know are and while my parents don't like it, they accept it and don't say anything negative to me about it.

In an irritated funky mood. Trying not to take it out on my partners. Im not being very successful because I took my irritation out on V. I know where it comes from, but I also know that for now there is nothing I can do about it because of circumstances outside my control. Now V feels like he...

No, however they talk to me. Our relationship(s) is still pretty new, and we are figuring out personal boundaries and such. I have learned when they talk to me about each other that while it doesn't affect what I think or know about the other, it does affect me.

We all know relationships develop differently and at different speeds. I'm learning that while I understand this and am for the most part good with this, I do struggle at times. It's frustrating for me because it is not something I want to struggle with. I catch myself comparing relationships...

Last night I was talking to V. It's very obvious he and I do poly on different ways. To him I am primary and everyone and everything comes somewhere after that. That bugs me because it reeks of couple privilege. It's how he is and always has been. To me I do not make a distinction between my...

Welcome to the roller-coaster known as emotions and feelings, A.K.A. NRE. What a damn whirlwind it can send you on. Right now Tabs and I are good. V and I are good. I don't have a clue where Tabs and V are. They talk face to face and things seem ok, then they have a few days where they can't see...

Being a hinge is hard!!! Or at least it's hard for where things are at right now. Not looking like it's going to get any easier in the days to come. Dealing with feelings and working past them is never easy.

I don't just announce my relationships to everyone, but I don't hide them either. If specifically ask about my relationship with my girlfriend I will answer honestly. I'm not out to make others happy or comfortable with who I am or how I live my life. I am Christian, bi, and poly. So far pretty...

So I have kind of reached a new place that I'm quite happy with. After worrying myself almost crazy about my relationship with Tabs, I'm not worrying any more. For where we are we are strong. I love her and she knows it now. I'm no longer worrying myself about Tabs and V's relationship. They...

It has been a crazy week. Long hours at work and lots of exhaustion on my part. Right now it's not even 10pm and I'm past ready to crawl in bed.

Thanks everyone. At the moment I'm kind of stepping back some from their relationship and letting them handle things between them. I'm just doing the best I can at making sure my relationship with each of them is strong. I'm moving slowly and making sure I know what I'm feeling and want and then...

And that is something I can do and don't mind doing. It's something I like about being poly. I like knowing my partners feel they can talk to me openly and honestly, or at least I hope I make them feel that they can openly and honestly talk to me. I'm a fairly laid back person that is fairly...

to consider, think about, and be aware of? My relationship started as a FB and became what we thought may be a triad. It has now settled into a Vee with me as the hinge. There is potential for it to become a triad as 1 of my partners has feelings for the other. My partners hang out together and...

Well, this is not what I was expecting. Things kind of settling into a Vee is taking some adjusting to on my part. I guess I'm just worried about everyone getting what they need. I also a little worried that if things between Tabs and V do develop into more as this progresses how I'm going to...

It seems what we thought looked more like a triad is settling into more of a Vee with me as the hinge and Tabs and V as more of FWBs. Not sure how this is going to work, but going to let it be what it's going to be. If something grows between Tabs an V then I'm open to that as well. Hoping I can...

Been a difficult week. I have kind of been all over the place. Facing some things V pointed out to me about myself a long time ago. Kind of thought I could pack it all away and ignore it. I have learned that I can't. Obviously I am bi, and apparently I'm somewhat wired for being poly. When V...

I think we have all been there at some point to some degree.

We had joked around before we became involved. Once we did become involved things kind of changed. People noticed it and started to talk amongst themselves. When they started seeing us together outside of work they knew. Doesn't help that we would catch ourselves interacting with each other like...

My director talked and told the owners about my relationship with Tabs. I am hurt, and beyond mad. Everything about work is now changed until things die down and people quit talking. My owners responded better than expected. Not sure what Tabs is thinking or feeling right now. I haven't had a...

Comments welcome... Envy... it's a cruel twisting little beast. It turns the most simple things with the least amount of meaning into red hot pain. Mentally I know relationships develop at different paces. Right now, envy is telling me they shouldn't. I feel very, stuck right now because this...
