    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    That does suck, and Im sure you've already talked, but I'd say dont be mad at him for telling you over email, that's a hard thing to tell somebody, and I'd focus on the upside of him wanting to tell you right away. Overreacting? I would feel hurt if a fluid bonded partner chose to fluid bond...

    At the end of my rope

    I'm so sorry to hear that, nobody likes to find out somebody they feel they know well is capable of acting so badly. To be blunt, what I would do is end the relationship. In my (limited) experience, when somebody starts acting like an ass when they were a nice person before, its due to guilt...

    question on making sure metamors are ok with things

    Well I'd just say "Im curious about your relationship agreements with JQ and how they might affect me/us. Could we talk about the agreements we have with other partners so we can make sure we are on the same page and I don't have to worry about overstepping any boundaries?" Or something...

    the story of a secondary

    I feel like I should elaborate on *hug* - from the post you made before you met, it seemed to THIS internet stranger at least, that it was going to that important relationship place with the L word showing up, before you even met. I know that's a big deal, and I am hoping that it works out...

    Happy-ish Stable-ish, Uneventful Poly

    Weekend I went to Adam's therapist for the first time early last week. I'd planned on going in a few months to get some advice on communication issues that come up when Adam dates - wasn't in a hurry because I didn't have anything bothering me I could think of to talk about, but ended up...

    the story of a secondary

    /e also ponders what kind of response she'd get on OKC if her only requirement was "no axe murdering" I hope the date is awesome, but even if it doesn't work out, if you end up "looking" as opposed to just "open to whatever shows up" I love OKC (to axe murdering depths) and although it's not...

    RainyGrlJenny's Story

    Crappy timing is how I roll, but I am glad it went well! I have trouble understanding when partners want something they aren't getting and chafe at the bits instead of just bringing it up, I'll keep my fingers crossed that I can be that graceful next time somebody brings up the hard (for them...

    Greetings from TN

    Yes, chiropractic adjustments can help stop ear infections in kids. Misalignments of the vertebrae can tug muscles enough to tilt the angle of the ear canal and contribute to chronic ear infections. That's about the only time I go out of my way to suggest to someone who isn't really familiar...

    Greetings from TN

    I'm all for chiropractic for children, but there is no way in hell that I would want that to be the first meeting. IMO, that is something that should be done after there's not a stressful dynamic going on. Kids sense stress, and their bodies won't be receptive to being adjusted, and they could...

    the story of a secondary

    Sounds like an enjoyable evening :p I just want to point out (I mean you're pointing it out to yourself a lot in these last couple of posts but I don't know if you really "see" it) that maybe Gia is responding in this way because you backed off and didn't pressure her. It sounds like you're...

    Happy-ish Stable-ish, Uneventful Poly

    Thanks you two, I hadn't really seen other people addressing that before - so while I'm glad I'm not alone it's also too bad that its so easy to feel bad about good things! And Hot Ethics...that sums it up. I've just never really seen it from anyone in real life before in such great...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    My husband just got a local job offer which means he doesn't have to go interview in CA for another position which was going to be scheduled for next week. Now I don't have to worry about seeing if my relationship with Brian could work as a LDR, and the new person I'm dating doesn't have to...

    Happy-ish Stable-ish, Uneventful Poly

    It looks like seeing this guy I mentioned meeting, Greg - is lasting past a few dates. We spent some time with Adam, they got along well and liked each other. I met his wife and one of her partners and they are pretty cool people too. I have no idea if any friendships will form but I feel...

    Loving without Fear: Cleo's path

    Tsk! I'm sure if he had a cold you wouldn't be extra glad to be on a date somewhere else since THEY wouldn't have a red nose, so don't even put any energy into those thoughts! Sorry about the being sick on top of stress, is there anyway you could have a preemptive talk with C about Molly via...

    i need advice

    And im with her for 3 years, and sometimes im starting to feel limited and Bound socially. It seems like you assumption that the cure to feel lonely from a lack of being social is to find new partners? I am a very open minded dude, what really matters for me is Love, the feeling, not the Carnal...

    feel like there might be an answer I'm too inexperienced to see

    ^^^^^ good advice I'll also say that if you are feeling neglected, scheduling dates/times to just be focusing on the two of you would be good. If K and you had a plan to meet at a certain time, then presumably she'd be ready, awake and interested in doing so. It sounds like there is probably...

    Sharing personal info with metamours?

    Hopefully her response is positive, as your reasons make perfect sense to me. I also think the only thing you could've done differently is to not ask her not to talk to him about it - her reasons for wanting to be able to talk to him about it also make perfect sense. I'd just apologize for...

    I don't like my metamour :(

    Yeah. He asked you specific direct questions about your feelings on a few topics, so the ethical thing is to tell him now what they are, and let him decide how he feels about it. If that is not enough to make him realize you aren't interested in the same thing he is, and to stop trying to flirt...

    Dating advice wanted

    Yes it can take awhile to show up, I think up to three months, the IgG number rises as it seroconverts. This is a great forum for any questions you have www.medhelp.org/posts/Herpes/ If you don't end up getting a positive test, most people I know who have a partner with HSV2 get tested every 6...
