I agree with this. I would not confuse lust with passion. You can have passion for lots of things that you can't have sex with. Which means did the original premise mean lust or passion?

This reminds me of a conversation I had on another site. The premise was that all non-monogamous relationships fail. My response is how long does it have to work before it's considered a success? The answer was you have to stay together until death. FWIW, a 20 year marriage and wanting my gf...

That's not as bad as it sounds. All of these sites will insert people who like you into your review stream. On your original comment, I have had a couple of those too. It makes me roll my eyes a bit that they had to take time out of their day to be (allegedly) morally superior.

Kay doesn't have any interest in dating anyone but me. She's monogamous.

If you are reasonably attractive, I am surprised you haven't had more luck online. You might try looking around for online dating tips. You have to find something that works for you, but mine was that I made it very clear that I was married and participating in ethical non-monogamy. It put out...

Welcome to the forum, Texasdew.

I am so sorry for your loss.

If you liked that book, you'll enjoy Freakonomics as well.

I want to thank everyone in the last few pages for a very thoughtful, interesting conversation!

Holy smokes. I brainfarted terribly when I wrote that line. Yes, I meant to say there are 49 other states.

I think there is a bit of a language translation involved. What I think you are asking is if there are people that have a fully integrated three person relationship living under one roof. I think you'll find several people on here (and thousands more not on these forums) have that kind of...

I'm actually really happy with how this has all been treated. Until Ansari, there really weren't any situations where it wasn't obvious that it should be noticed and there should be consequences. Once it came to a questionable situation, we pulled back and had some differing opinions. This is...

Plenty of Fish will not allow you to be married and looking unless they have changed their policy.

FWIW, that's how we are in ours now too. Kay barely has time for me. While she theoretically could add a partner, she's not interested. Txgirl can speak for herself but it's similar, and I haven't even been tempted to flirt in over a year which is a huge change for me.

I would guess that if you like someone, it priorities it in their review list. That seems to have been the case previously.

I don't know how feasible it is, but there's lots of 49 besides that one.

I totally sympathize. My mom on one occasion said Kay, our therapist [and any poly friendly therapist], and I all needed mental help. Otherwise she treats us all the great. Who knows what goes on in their heads? Good luck.

Cardinal, I went back to your intro and didn't see where you live. I have two pretty close friends who both have used mediation (one is in process) to dissolve a marriage.

Inaniel, good luck. My mom doesn't approve in the least, but I'm dealing with it because she still treats txgirl very nicely. My mom's issues are with my decisions and not with txgirl. It's funny you say "She can't bear the thought of having to explain it to my aunts and uncles." I think that...

This is my situation. Kay and I were married for about 15 years when we fully opened. She has no interest in dating. Coincidentally, while txgirl was married when we met, but she doesn't have any interest in dating at the moment either. I chatted with her ex-husband on several occasions, so I...
