    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    I'm with GalaGirl. The fact that I'm poly goes in my profile, right at the top so they have no excuse to not read it :) And yes, it might mean that you get fewer emails, but isn't the point of this to meet people we can connect with? I still end up wasting time on the mono vs. poly discussion...

    I feel like I did something wrong

    I don't normally go to such extremes when I need attention, but I'm putting it in my arsenal for the future. Seriously, that made me laugh. Thank you. Yes, this was discussed at length before I went into the hospital. My mom had this same surgery a decade or so ago, plus a bunch of others, so...

    I feel like I did something wrong

    It's pretty personal, but I asked for advice so here's the situation - I had brain surgery, and it was something that we knew about a month or so in advance. J and I discussed the fact that while I was in the hospital, he should probably be with me. Extenuating circumstances and all that. R knew...

    I feel like I did something wrong

    Long story short, my boyfriend (primary, J) broke our standing poly agreement with his secondary of 3 months (R) at the worst possible time, and lied about it. Even when I caught him he kept lying. I call this cheating. It sucked. He and I are attempting to repair the damage he caused. So that...

    I'm really late to this party, but how about Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

    Greetings from upstate NY

    So, in the last couple weeks I've been doing some soul searching. I was also lucky enough to find a poly-friendly therapist in my area and began seeing her. She's made some suggestions that the boyfriend has been receptive to, and so far it seems to be really making an impact on him. I think he...

    Greetings from upstate NY

    You make an excellent point snowmelt, and it gives me something to think about. I've spent so much time thinking that there was something wrong with me. Like I'm just jealous or i can't handle it or I'm being crazy. Or if I could just do more or work harder, he wouldn't be so inclined to choose...

    Greetings from upstate NY

    My marriage ended after 7 years of polyamory because my husband woke up one day and decided he wanted monogamy now and forever. He also wanted kids and a house in the suburbs and all of the things I thought we were on the same page about for years, and he was unwilling to compromise. We had been...

    Greetings from upstate NY

    I don't mind sharing at all. That's kind of why I'm here. At the moment I'm not dating, more out of a lack of options than a desire to be monogamous. I've been encountering a lot of single, monogamous men just looking to get laid and 'poly' women who end up being unwilling threesome bait for...

    Greetings from upstate NY

    I'm a 30 year old female in a challenging poly relationship, just trying to figure out what it is I really want. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years and met when we were both married to other people. Those relationships ended (for myriad reasons, among them our spouses'...
