WOW, you sound so much like me. Those are all things I went through and dealt with in my own marriage. Our problem was I didn't realize it, nor did he, and we didn't try to fix it until it was too late. By the time we realized it, the damage was done and our marriage couldn't take anymore. We...

I have been where you are now. Take some time before making a decision. For me, after much thought, it was best to end my marriage. We had other issues too, that could not be fixed.

Thank you, beautiful, but it's okay. I understand why you did it. I understand how you feel about it. I cannot be nor am I mad or upset with you over any of it, or how you feel. I know none of this really matters now, but I wanted you to know I understand. I hope you know I would not have...

Never mind I found my answer

After talking with dh and doing some reading, I have come to realize I'm dealing with a lot of envy here, some jealousy, a little insecurity and some anger. The anger is not directly related to or caused by either of my partners. I am feeling more envy than anything else. Now I do feel better...

This just helped me greatly. After talking with another member it was pointed out i may be feeling more envious than jealous. After reading the original post I can better catagorize and discern my feelings and find a way to deal with them.

I think you're overreacting a bit, but I understand. I'm sure as long as you all are together and not fighting for custody, abusing, neglecting or harming the child, no one can take it. They have to have reason to take a child from its parents.

Doing new years alone for the first time in over 10 years

I will start by saying I have learned an awful lot about myself through this journey. I can also say I have learned a lot about people in general. I have learned that I, myself, who in the past has never been a jealous person or had any real insecurities in relationships, am quite capable of...

I second this. Very well said. I also feel like many of the others here do.

Not necessarily. I have been in relationships that ran their course and we amicably agreed to end it before it came to a point we were hurting or holding each other by staying in it. At the time it ended we were still compatible relationship-wise, but because we both realized these things we...

I am very much like this. I just never could describe it. Thanks, this gives me something to think about. I will admit, for me, some commitments are conciously chosen, but there those commitments to people that just happen because I connected with them on a different plane.

To me commitment in a relationship is the wanting to be there through the ups and downs. It's facing the hard parts of life, love, and relationships, and not picking and choosing which parts you want to experience with a person. To me its not just taking the easy way, but facing the things we...

I have romantic love for both of my partners. That is why I would have a very hard time with that rule. I want to be intimate in all ways with both my partners.

Not all breakups happen because of incompatiblity. Some end simply because they have run their course and served their purpose, and one or both in the relationship feel it is time to move on. Just because there might be some small incompatibility doesn't mean it has to end, either. That could...

I, like, Rob couldn't go along with that. My relationships are very intimate and personal. I would want to be able to kiss my partners. I don't have sex without having developed deep emotional feelings for the person I'm having sex with.

I agree with redpepper. I am in a triad that, while it has had its ups and downs, is simply quite amazing. We have let this develop at its own pace and do not have boundaries and rules. This has allowed us to each grow as our relationship does. I never imagined that I could love someone the way...

My parents(M & P) have been told about my triad. I gave them websites to use to help them understand it better. I had no clue if they looked up or read anything further on it. Since telling them about my relationship I have mentioned my partners in conversation just like I would if I were in a...

I have had 3 LTR's not counting my current triad. With each one I knew with in days that I was more than just infatuated and in the throws of NRE. For me NRE tends to wear off pretty quickly usually with in 4-5 months. I guess because while the euphoric high it gives is fun at first it exhausts...

On this topic. I have an interesting story from my weekend that left me feeling quite warm and fuzzy but also very nervous. My partners(who are married to each other) and i were shopping. My wife and i were bent over a display counter at a jewelry store when behind us from out of no where we...
