    Dave's Story

    So I skipped a Susan "crisis" a few weeks back. Susan and I were in a chat room with friends, and Daley joined. He thought her heard me call her darlin' (I did) and lover (neither Susan nor I think that happened), and he rage quit. This caused Susan to panic. She neglected to inform him of her...

    Sailing Solo

    I totally understand the time thing. Time is -by far- my most precious commodity. I don't care if you're going to be late, but LET ME KNOW so I can put that time to more productive use. It's really, really aggravating.

    Such strong children. I'm very sorry for your loss :(

    Dave's Story

    I am feeling a ton of insecurity, and none of it is logical in the least. Susan has been spending more time with Daley, but she is very quick to say she likes him, not loves him. She still won't tell him how close she and I are though. I really don't think that's it, though, as I don't harbor...

    Oh oh! One other really cool thing. Right before I left, I got to talk to my brother and his wife. For a long time I thought they were avoiding any mention of Susan because they disapproved. It turns out that isn't the case at all. They just weren't sure what I wanted, and didn't know how to...

    Dave's Story

    Just got back from seeing Susan, and I couldn't have asked for it to have gone any better. We had a lot of fun, there was very little stress, and I'm so excited for our future. It was wonderful doing couple things. We saw a play, walked and shopped on the boardwalk, relaxed, had dinners, both at...

    Dave's Story

    Little over a week before I fly out to see Susan. I am so looking forward to this. We've had a couple of downs in the last couple weeks, one directly due to her not wanting Daley to find out about us, the other her not trusting me to understand. Both times it felt like I was being abandoned. I...

    A Mono's Journey Into Poly-Land (or, "Aw hell, there's no road map?!")

    One of my favorite phrases is "it's the dose, not the poison." There's all kinds of things that if you have a little (relative) there's no harm. If you have a lot (relative), you're toast. It's so hard to get across though with the fear monger society we have though.

    How would you feel if your ex told you something disillusioning about your SO?

    I would say, after reading everything, if your motives are pure, you should take it to Tim with qualifications that it was something you heard. I think Galagirl's potential conversation is excellent.

    How many poly ppl tell their family?

    My best friend knows and one of my brothers (and his wife) knows. The best friend worries a little about it thinking that my wife might decide she's not OK with it after all and I lose access to my children. My brother is not down with it and refuses to discuss Susan ever. It really hurts...

    Fell for a monogamous woman

    Susan is completely don't ask/don't tell. She knows I have others, but it sends her into a emotionally bad place when I mention anyone but Kay. On the other hand, she will tell me what is going on in her life with her men. However, this is because I repeatedly let her know that I was...

    This seems odd. A whole month without any issues. In fact, everything is going quite well. Susan is still under lots of stress, but has been making some changes in her life to deal with them. She's taking more time for herself. I think it's working well for her. Overall, she seems happier. Only...

    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    People like to use their own definitions, regardless of what the words actually mean. I'm sorry you had to deal with that ignorance.

    Blogging, blogging, blogging.

    cindie is right. From personal experience, the waiting around isn't healthy. I was doing too much of that and it caused stress in the relationship and to myself. I do understand. It feels like waiting is what we should do. It doesn't feel like you're hurting yourself. However, there's a lot of...

    New to poly, need advice on jealousy/indifference

    I'm not sure it ever passes. It gets less. You get more secure. But I went three nights last week unable to sleep well. It was more complex than just jealousy, but there was definitely some jealousy involved.

    New to poly, need advice on jealousy/indifference

    That's a good story. No need to apologize when it's easy to read. The feelings you are experiencing are normal. You may be able to work with them or you may not. There's clearly not one right answer. I text Susan all the time. Most are just to let her know I'm thinking of her. She may or may...

    Dave's Story

    Susan and I had a great talk Monday. Her issues Sunday were because of a miscommunication. I talked to wifey and Stakes about it, and they were incredulous that Susan could have believed what she thought she heard, so I don't have any guilt in it. Anyway, it all worked out, and we are back to...

    Just curious what is your configuration?

    That is hilarious and clever. From my perspective, mine is a V.
