Nope, I disagree completely, and you completely misunderstand my point. I both agree and disagree with both your options for me so can't tick either, or I could tick both, because for me at least it is not an either/or situation that can be broadly generalised.

I can't tick any of the boxes..... I am a woman. I don't need sex to feel love from someone. But I do care very much about having sex! I can never understand people who say it's just not important to them, but each to their own. I also take slight exception to the idea of a friendship not...

The reason I compared to my open relationship, was that it sounds like you only have a problem with her because she was someone he 'cheated' on you with - was it 'cheating' within the agreements of your relationship with him? Have you been jealous of other women he has been with? My point being...

I was just wondering if people could share, how comfortable/acceptable it is, in their own situations, to show physical affection when other partners are there (in V-type relationships, I mean, not triads, where obviously, that would be different!). What I mean is, if you have two (or more)...

I'm only new to this too, but are you actually ok and accepting of him being with other women at all? And what is your understanding of what is and isn't acceptable for him to do? Have you agreed he informs you before pursuing other women? Are these other women supposed to be only sex, or have...

Well, things are moving on a bit. And I am itching to talk to W about everything, but have to wait a few weeks until we are in the same place again. But a few things have happened - one, he said those three words to me, which was an incredibly special moment. It's not like I didn't know that...

This is me all over too. I call it honesty-diarrhoea! I like talking to people about things and hearing different people's opinions. Talking things through helps me figure out my feelings on subjects and how I am going to react to situations. I find that the process of discussion with friends is...

For sake of confusion I'll start using initials for people!! W= my open, long-distance relationship. T = the new guy. I guess we're somewhere in between - 'don't ask, don't tell' were W's words, as in, he wasn't going to ask me and didn't expect me to volunteer information. 'affair' is just my...

Pretty much....and I think it's a terrific thing :) no shame whatsoever! I guess we're still defining what our relationship exactly is, and that is a protracted process due to the long-distance component. I've just personally started some research into the philosophy of open...

Thanks, I'll read through all that carefully and those links, thankyou Just to clarify a few things if it makes any difference - a few of my affairs have been ongoing (well, two to be precise) just never, from my point of view, felt like they were ever going to be long term. The other parties...

Hi I don't know if my situation is technically polyamory or anything, but I'm hoping that I might be able to get some advice here. I am in an open, long-distance relationship - we both agree that the time we spend apart (which is for months at a time, 5,000 miles apart) we are free to see...
