    House "Open marriage" episode

    I was actually pretty pleased with the episode. I don't feel like the husband was miserable, he just wanted his wife to be happy. When the wife found out about it and was calling her marriage a lie, Thirteen pointed out that the husband's motive was love. Also I think it drew a parallel, yes...

    ladystuff

    I've heard about Diva Cups but I'm one of those people who's favourite way of dealing with periods is not dealing with them. I was on Yasmin for years and it was great since it reduced my periods to about four days when they would last for nine and the cramping was virtually non-existent. Also I...

    Date Ideas?

    What if you found a store with something fun for your husband to do like sampling fudge or ice cream? A lot of stores in northern Ontario (I don't know where you're at but maybe there's something similar?) have fudge and little trinkets like bottles.

    The Blog of the Mono Wife

    I think you are stronger than a lot of people. I wouldn't be able to do what you are doing and I read your posts when things are rough for me because of that strength. I'm so happy your husband came home, I hope everything continues to lift from here on out.

    Hello from Western Canada

    Welcome to the forum! I had/have a similar situation with my partner, though we're not married but the issues with bringing up partners and rules have been ones that we have constantly been revising and discussing so I may have some insight for you. As far as bringing up potential partners T...

    Poly-themed Movies

    Good Movies I was in Blockbuster with T the other night trying to decide what movie to watch and he asked if I knew of any good poly-oriented movies (so far we've seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and I didn't. Does anyone know of any good ones out there that are easily rentable?

    Jealousy, Envy, Insecurity, etc.: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    I think it's the opposite. When you're in a committed relationship you know where you stand, or else it's not necessarily a committed relationship, so there is less inclination to feel jealous, and perhaps more inclination to feel threatened, because, as it's been said, you have more to lose if...

    need to talk

    I know this is a very basic question but have you been getting 8 hours of sleep a night for the last week? This sounds a bit like something that I went through this year and I realized that I had been getting 6 hours or less of fretful sleep. What would happen is I would run on very little sleep...

    Third Confusion

    I realized I got all this great advice and I didn't give a proper thank you or update. Initially I had to cancel coffee because timing didn't work out but we did eventually get together and just chatted. The whole avoidance thing never came up but that was mostly because once we started talking...

    Stereotypes

    I know I said in an earlier post that I have never run into any serious stereotypes but I was discussing this withsome friends and they reminded me of a night at a bar. There were six of us there, five of us were good friends and another guy, K, who was friends with one of our group members...

    Too Young To Poly?

    Yes, life is very weird but it's wondeful too! And you're welcome. These are probably the more positive posts I've read in regards to age. I agree with the fact that when you're younger you try on lots of different hats (I like this term better than labels) and some fit and some don't and some...

    Stereotypes

    I've been very fortunate to have never experienced this directly though I have heard jokes being made about it at work, not too me though, just in general.

    Too Young To Poly?

    I've been reading around a lot on the net and every so often I come up against articles/posts/discussions that refrence age in one way or another and the general idea seems to be that only people who have lived for a few decades and really experienced life and have either a family or a very...

    Groups in Ontario

    I'm a little nervous about making a big move but I am definitely going to check out and see what kind of poly community they have there. However before I leave I really hope I get a chance to connect with any around Toronto. Is there a large community in Kitchener too?

    Situational Conundrum

    Thanks for the advice everyone. T did not end up coming to J's party and it was a bit of a rough night but there are a lot of things that were posted that I am going to try to keep in mind for future reference. K

    Negotiating Rules

    Safe sex is madatory, the only major rules my partner and I have are related to that. For example let each other know if something like the condom breaks and take a shower if you are going from being with one partner to the next (I have a bit of a weak immune system). Other than that we each try...

    questions that I'm not sure how to ask him

    Sometimes it can be very hard to push through emotions when discussing these things especially at the beginning when there are so many unknowns. One thing that has helped my partner and I is when emotions start to interfere with our reasoning we ask each other if we can have a moment and go off...
