Thanks, Crisare. Lady Macbeth and I have been thinking the same thing, and with her history, she's been afraid of the possibility as well. She's trying to be cautious about inaccurately interpreting his actions, but at this point I really don't think she is. During our talk to figure out what...

Thanks for all the comments, everyone. It really is a messy situation, right now. J is feeling very caught. Their relationship has been rocky for a few months, partly due to a VERY minor mess up on her part, but his reaction has been way out of proportion and has led to a lot of difficulties...

Thanks, Mono! The positive is definitely the fun part, and what I want to talk about. And, as long as I'm here, how about an update? Things are going basically really good. My girlfriend came down to see the show I'm performing in for a second time this weekend, and her boyfriend actually...

Well, time for an update. First off, this new relationship is going very, very well. Her name is Jacqui, and we've both been blind-sided by the strength of our connection. Part of it is NRE, but we've it's definitely very, very intense. Those double adjectives? Showing up a lot . . . :)...

Thought I'd give an update on where I'm at, as well. Things are definitely going well for me. As LM said, I have met two nice women, and have made good connections with both of them. There is a bit of an imbalance in one of them, but that's mainly due to the fact that she's not truly poly. I...

You'll find me (and some of you already have!) as ActingOpenly on OKC. I've actually met one person in . . . um . . . person through OKC, and that's going pretty well so far. We've only met once, but we're planning to meet again, so I guess that's good. I've never done the online thing...

This is a question that has been coming up for me, and I'd like to get some input from all you helpful people. I'm kind of collecting data. For those of you in a primary relationship (married, or long-term committed), what kind of time/frequency of time/proximity of time do you or your primary...

I didn't realize that LM had already started a blog over here, but for those who are interested and didn't see it, there is an update in this thread!

Yeah, I'm really happy at the moment with the process. We have a show opening tonight, and LM is on her way home from a make-up day at work. She's stopping by her BF's house first to get some 'good luck' for the performance, and then coming home for a bit before it's time to carpool to get...

Well, it's been a little bit since LM or I have posted on here, so I thought I'd give a little update on how things are going. LM's relationship is going gangbusters. I'll leave it to her to post any details, but it's a really good fit. I made a connection with an old college friend, which...

Everything she said. Actually had a great chat with someone on OKCupid today, and I think I may be able to say I'm actually experiencing the NRE without the p. That doesn't sound quite right . . . ;)

Yes, things are indeed going well. We've both increased our level of comfort, both with where things are, and where they are going, and in expressing our feelings and needs about that. Since we're practicing a hierarchical form of poly, there have been a lot of things to work through, and...

If you've read Lady Macbeth's post, you are aware that in a very short period of time she's been able to bring a relationship online. I'm really very happy for her, and she had an amazingly simple, almost pre-set situation. I don't. Not only do I not, I can't think of any that may present...

I wanted to chime in here with my comments on this situation. I was actually very excited for Lady Macbeth to pursue things with this gentleman. After their outing (as in a date, not public declaration) the other day, and the following conversation they had, I felt very pleased that they were...

I just ordered a copy of Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships by Tristan Taormino. From the what I've read about it, it sounds like a great book with lots of information. I was curious if there are any other suggestions of reading materials out there?

We're in the same boat. We definitely do not view ourselves as swingers. We started exploring our thinking at a swingers board, and found that the completely sexual focus left us a little cold. For us, we view our marriage of 15 years as the primary relationship in our lives. With all the...

Greetings, all! My wife (who will likely be posting soon, too) and I have just made it through round one of our talks, and come to the conclusion that we are interested in opening our relationship and taking on a poly mindset. Our discussions have helped us both to realize that the concept of...
