Ah, I'm so hit or miss in my participation here that I doubt anyone knows who I am, but so many of you were so helpful when my husband and I first joined; there is deep gratitude toward the people here our parts. At any rate, this of course got my attention because jealousy was the downfall...

I hope that your wife continues to heal!!!! And yes, Poly rocks!!! I too am facing major surgery, and my ex-poly bf/best friend has offered to come for a weekend to cook/clean and care for the children, and DW's gf will be staying with them while we are in Baltimore. We just spent the...

Hardly ever post but wanted to share this success(es) This past year has been one of many ups and downs as we have been incorporating ML, DW's girlfriend into our family. Most of the downs have resulted from outside issues (ML's mom being diagnosed with cancer and treatments now being declined...

Figured I should re-introduce myself since only a few people probably even know who I am! I wish I found more time to participate in the forums, but I do so value the friendships I have formed here. At any rate, I'm a poly woman to what used to be my husband's mono, but he has now had a...

Critter, I can relate to this very much. I'm sorry that it feels unsafe to be yourself in your environment, but that doesn't negate your wonderful relationships.

Budding friendships I emailed back and forth with a new friend who is unfortunately hurting right now, but it was nice to give a smile and receive one; as I told him, I was grinning like a fool :D

I am so sorry, Ariakas. Many hugs!

I'm so happy for both of you; you are truly an inspiration and your love is palpable!

Yay for home! I hope you enjoy being home, Ari! And I myself am a believer in the notion that a little venting does us good :D

So glad, Ari! When things are really tough, I try to remind myself that I wouldn't appreciate all of the good (great) in my life if that's all their was. I have varied success with it, of course! Hugs, Christie

So glad, Ari It's wonderful that you are taking this time for yourself. I hope the rest is a blast, too.

Have a great trip, Ari I saw that you were going this weekend right after I sent my message. Have a terrific time! :D Christie

Facial hair--the jokes on me ;) Hi Ari, A quick note that hopefully will put a smile on your face-- I have never liked facial hair. I've even teased DW that I wouldn't kiss him until he shaved the goatee he grew while on a 2 week vacation with his friends. And now, every man I've dated since...

In appreciation Ari, I'm not nearly as active on this board as I'd like to be (I think of all kinds of things I want to post about, but never seem to find the time with 3 kids, a husband and a boyfriend), but anyway, I have been wanting to read blogs of the people who have been so kind to DW...

Hi all, It has been SOOO long since we've updated you all. Life with partners, work, three kids and us doesn't leave much time for the forum, even though we so appreciate all of you for your help and support when DW was struggling so much. By and large, DW is in a fantastic place. He's had a...

Update: Our kids' reactions Hi all, I'm trying to catch up a bit on the forum since it's been a while, and I realized reading this thread that I never shared how our kids reacted. Well, it was like a non-event. It was literally like "Yeah... So, what's for dinner?" :) We've talked about it...

DavidWebb and I have been married for 14 years, and opened our marriage about a year ago. Neither of us ever thought it would look like this, but we sure are making the best of it.

It's been a long time And I was pretty new anyway, so many of you may have no idea who I am. ;) My husband is DavidWebb on this forum (not his real name). It has been quite the year, lots of ups and downs (including 3 breakups for me, blech), but he and I are closer than ever. He has a...

Intriguing ideas This is so interesting and it highlights a dilemma for me; how do I feel safe to put myself out there now? We have spent time talking about his experiences and our theoretical ones, but have not been suggestive with one another at all. I was wondering if this was a factor...
