    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    ....not sure. Had a talk with my mom about my boyfriend. She asked some very provocative questions. Is what you're getting out of this worth the cost? Are you attached to this person? Where do you see your relationship in 1, 3, 5 years? Does this relationship have room to grow? Will this...

    What is exclusive to romantic love?

    If you are living/sleeping together, that goes beyond "just friends" to me. So his agreement with you is "Be in a serious relationship with me, make sacrifices for me, (but don't say you love me) until someone who can bear my children comes along"? I have never met the guy, obviously, but...

    Bi Assumptions

    Really love this thread! couple of things people have said that I can fully relate to... 1. We are the forgotten letter of the LGBTQ (bi's are just "confused" to some...grr) 2. As a bi, poly woman, many would assume that I'm poly simply so I can have a man and a woman in my life. (Untrue! I...

    "The Christian Marriage"

    Just an opinion, but the bible itself has very little influence on the beliefs of many "Christians". They mostly just believe what is acceptable according to what their preacher/other people at church/their politician of choice says. In summary, religion, even the most peaceful, well-meaning...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    It's such a liberating feeling to not have to hide, isn't it? As an update...my bf has told his mother about our relationship. She does not approve, at all. I probably won't meet her now.

    Mono husband with a poly wife

    This seems very strange to me, and unsettling. Have you talked to your wife about the reasons this bothers you? Did you all ever talk about the possibility of random hookups and whether this would be okay? For me, I don't want random hookups, but my husband might like to have that. We talked...

    Unfair family judgement.

    This. Some people just want to control situations they don't understand...it's sad, really.

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    My boyfriend's mom is coming to see him (she lives several hours away). He wants me to meet her tonight. Having mixed feelings about that. His dad has not exactly made me feel welcome, and has spread rumors throughout his family about his son. :( I'm not taking any of it personally, but I feel...

    They finally "made up" :)

    Thanks, everyone. I'm just glad we can all be together without tension now. :)

    They finally "made up" :)

    I feel like I've written about my situation a lot on here, but I'll review briefly what happened over Thanksgiving... My husband was going through some family issues and as a result was feeling much more anxious/insecure than usual. Before this incident, the three of us (my husband, my bf and...

    New Years Eve

    My husband left the option open for me because he didn't really have any plans. My boyfriend has plans that involve family...and they haven't been the most welcoming to me lately (long story). I think my husband and I are going to try to see a good friend of ours that only visits occasionally...

    Stepping out! :D

    One of the biggest mistakes I made with my boyfriend in the beginning was trying to keep his relationship with me within strict parameters. He was supposed to be my "fuck buddy," but we just clicked so well that trying to restrict our feelings was futile. Keeping within the same spirit, trying...

    Poly Vignettes: Sharing Success & Happiness

    I'm glad you have help in your time of need, bigguy! Best wishes for your wife's recovery. I'm very proud/impressed with my husband. He has been talking to someone and is becoming close to her, but he is taking things slowly, and in stride. When I asked if he was going to date her he said "I...

    Interfaith couples and tangles

    My husband is very much atheist, he believes in science, and my my boyfriend is Catholic (although he doesn't attend church regularly). I was raised in a staunch, Southern Baptist household, but I now consider myself agnostic. I don't believe that there isn't a god, I just don't think I'm...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    My husband is back from his holiday travels and he made sure to let me know how much he missed me. :D I felt so loved in that moment... In other news, my boyfriend called me early this morning to let me know that he is now an uncle! I'm not a "baby person", but I'm happy that he's happy.

    New Boyfriend...Fizzled out?

    I agree with kamala, just give it a little time before calling it off. Who knows? If the spark really is gone you could just be friends. How did you meet? Were you friends first? Do you have mutual friends, etc.?

    Poly Vignettes: Sharing Success & Happiness

    I went to the movies with my husband for his birthday yesterday (it was an awesome movie, and we had a great time!). As I was leaving my boyfriend to go out, he said "have fun tonight, babe" with the utmost sincerity...it was just a very sweet moment for me. I'm going to go see him for a while...
