I'm sort of a newbie, but I really applaud your thoughts regarding his wife. Like nycindie said, you would have to have tome kind of relationship/understanding with her if you were to live in the same house as her. I think your concern is honorable and well-founded, personally.

I have flowers for my sister's names tattooed on my left shoulder, and stars on my left foot that I got with my best friend of 12 years. As for piercings, I had to take most of them out, but I had five in each ear, two of which were gauged to an 8, a nose ring, and a navel ring. I only got to...

How important is self esteem in the creation of healthy, loving relationships? incredibly important. It's very hard to hate yourself and love someone else...it leads to depression, distance, and sometimes resentment. How is self esteem furthered where it is insufficient? I've had major issues...

Good point. Unfortunately, having different needs/wants than someone else in a relationship is not just a poly thing, it's a dating issue in general. I wish you the best of luck, dear. :)

Didn't know where else to put this...so here it goes. In one of my master's courses I had to write a paper about my undergrad experience. Being poly and bisexual, and the process I had to go through to find that identity, was a huge part of my conflict as a young adult. I go to a very liberal...

glad to hear you've been accepted by the family, mono! I can't imagine how awesome that must feel! As an update, my boyfriend and husband actually like each other now. They talk like they're old friends or something. It's so...strange to me. I had never considered a structure quite like this in...

My secondary partner has expressed these concerns with me, and what I've told him is that if he wants more in the future with me and I stop making him happy, he needs to leave and find someone else that give him what he needs in a relationship. Of course, my marriage is polyamorous and...

leannahope is what I wanted to name my daughter when I was a little girl....I just love the name, so I use it whenever I can.

Okay, thanks for the help. I'm such a n00b. :)

I don't really care what we're called, either. just curious what I should refer to myself as on this forum. I guess I'll just stick with calling myself the hinge of a poly Vee.

It feels almost...unreal. I can't believe it's working out so well, especially since we live in such a conservative area where being poly is unheard of. I'm ecstatic!

My husband started out by being poly, got married, decided to have an open marriage, and then I found another guy that made me happy and I consider him my boyfriend. So I guess we're poly again? My husband isn't interested in finding a girlfriend, just casual sex, however, my boyfriend is very...

My husband met my boyfriend and they get along great! I just had to share because I am relatively new to polyamory. My husband and I have dated women in the past, but I didn't know how he would handle my being with another man. Well, I've been seeing J for a few weeks now (not a long time, I...

8 Words of Affirmation 6 Quality Time 0 Receiving Gifts 8 Acts of Service 8 Physical Touch Apparently the only thing I don't need in a relationship is gifts. :)

Hello, there! Greetings from another newbie. :)

I just read the first two books, too! I found it pretty clear, as well. The editor is the hinge of a vee and her husband is bisexual. I thought it was awesome how much detail the author put into the relationship. I wonder: is being poly more acceptable in Sweden? I have no idea, as I come from a...

I don't have anything to add, but I just wanted to thank NYCindie for her post. I've been having some mental struggles with my relationships and perusing the forums for advice. Your post really helped me. :)

The live-in girlfriend decided to move on on her own...she found a boyfriend that better met her needs, and we understood that. should have mentioned that earlier, I guess. :) Thanks for being so welcoming!

Hello, everyone! I'm a 23 year old female bisexual and the hinge of MFM Vee (don't know if I wrote that correctly). Now for a little background... I've never wanted the one knight in shining armor or the beautiful wedding that other girls always seemed to want. I figured that I was going to end...
