always knew I love the Onion. :)

It's really hard to define for me. I think when you start considering the other person in your decision making process, it has become a relationship. When you're just casually dating someone, it's usually a weekend/whenever you have free time thing, but my boyfriend became my boyfriend when he...

After a minor argument between myself, bf, and husband, things are settling down, and the irritionality (on all of our parts) is gone. We haven't been able to have a "family meeting" yet, and I'm kind of nervous about that. However, both of my guys have always pleasantly surprised me.

The movie for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo comes out in the States on December 21st! I plan on going with my husband (since it will be around his birthday) and then seeing it with my bf when he can.

I know. We will. Thanks for your insight. I can always count on this forum to bring me back to earth.

My husband and I have talked. It's funny that you use the word hiccup. He called it a "bump in the road." I love him, I really do. I have no idea how he has put up with all of my BS. I think right now we are all three stressed out (me=work, hubby=family, bf=work). If I look at it that way, it's...

I've agreed to the week-long break. I've talked with my husband to meet his needs better, too. My bf and I probably still have some residual NRE to get over, and I do need to consider my husband's needs more. I just thought I was doing so well...I guess I just got frustrated.

I feel the same about my fellas. :) I hugged my husband today. Not everyone gets to do that, as I've been reminded on facebook.

I cannot help you with your situation, because in my Vee I was the one who got swept away with NRE... Although the situation my husband is in is not as extreme as yours, you have really helped me see things from his perspective even more than I've been able to on this journey. Thank you.

Yeah, I never even thought about cast away...good one!

To preface my current situation, my husband and I decided to open up our relationship this year. We made a list of rules, because we wanted an open marriage, not really a poly arrangement. However, I am bipolar, and this summer I had a manic phase (although I know this is not really an excuse, I...

I know! I wish I could just let everyone know about my boyfriend as if it were a "normal" monogamous relationship that everyone understands. It's frustrating at times.

Your dad and my dad sound eerily similar. I would never tell him.

I told my mother. Her response? Act like I never said anything. She's a peculiar sort.

Pretty good week for me. :) The NRE stage with my bf is wearing off, I think (we've been together not quite 4 months), but we're all settling into a comfortable arrangement. I came home with my bf, went on a lovely run, and came back to find he and my husband hanging out in the living room. They...

No I didn't! I need to see that now.

Someone mentioned Sam And Jared Smith from the Sex and the City movie...I totally agree! I don't know why Samantha never considered poly an option, anyway. Also, why couldn't Carrie have a poly Vee with Big and Aidan? They got a along in a previous episode. Also, about the Arthurian Legends...

Thanks for the encouragement. I still feel a little bit guilty at times, but I'm working on it. The guys get along really well, and my husband insists he isn't angry. I am so grateful for both of their attitudes regarding our situation.

Open relationships and poly are quite different, in my experience. My husband and I tried having an open relationship (casual sex only) before I met my bf. Well, I fell in love with my boyfriend and wanted him to be a part of my life, so I now consider myself as the hinge of a poly V. I...
