Forgive me, I've never felt comfortable on forums. I'm a Yahoo-group girl. ;) What are re-directs? I'm fine with the blog being created. I just don't want that guy's caustic bs in a blog designated as mine. Does that make sense? You may not understand, but what he did was very painful for...

I don't know, RP. DW and I have talked about this at some length. I am definitely bi-curious and my having a relationship with a woman threatens him in only a minor way. In talking with others about this, it seems an issue of threat to masculinity. Now, please don't take this as accepting this...

Thank you so much!!!! The same to you!!!! Christie

Could a moderator please contact me? I've tried poking around trying to figure out how to contact a mod with no luck (and my kids always appear when I try to do something for myself!). I have a concern about the blog that was created for me. Thanks.

It's not strange to me at all, fwiw. Everyone has their own preferences in this regard. I'm sure there are other examples, but I've spent a good deal of time reading Mono's blog on here, and for them, it is very important to be close to one another. My husband, thus far, wants to meet and get to...

! I very much appreciate your comments! DW and I don't fully understand it all, so why would I expect you to? Your comments have been very helpful. Warmly, Christie

This resonates deeply for me, thank you!!!!! Again, kiddies are here so I won't be able to articulate more than that, but thanks!! Christie

Yes, I think this is true. I do think it has another dimension though in him not understanding why I need more than what he can provide. And it's not that I do, necessarily; I view it as an expression of my feelings for the other men in my life. I had a better way of phrasing that, but my...

Hi Mono! I don't believe replies are ever useless; they always make me think somehow, or feel heard. I tend to be a very open person by nature (a strange juxtaposition with my difficulty trusting, to be sure), and I feel like sometimes these details are important to give others enough info in...

Not sure I completely understand, Jade. But let me try--the issue here is, at the core, a mono/poly one. In one way, he obviously understands that sex is a product of love (for us, at least), but what he doesn't get is why sex has to be attached to all of those that I love or care for (in a...

Going "too fast" irt our journey Hi all, I just mentioned in another thread this concept of jumping into things feet first. Thinking about it, this has always been my style, but I now regret some aspects of it, in this case. I do not want to re-hash the whole thread about the origins of our...

So, some of you may remember that my husband is struggling with this poly thing. There is so much there— my mental health crisis of last year, my sexual abuse history, which has dogged us our entire relationship, and now my discovery that I am poly. It's a lot. Most men would have run for...

Hi all! I'm DW's wife. He and I talked and decided that it made the most sense if everyone knew to connect us. Here is my initial intro post to the group: http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2595 I am so blessed to be his wife; if you only knew!!!! Ironically, I think one of...

Dazed, I feel so much for you, some of which is spillover for what I feel for my wonderful husband (on this board as David Webb). I wish I could convince you, as I wish I could convince him, that the desire to be poly has nothing to do with your shortcomings. Her loving someone else...

Erato, I hear you. It's an odd juxtaposition of feeling like I'd do anything for him and yet knowing that no matter what I did, in terms of letting go of partners, I'd still be poly. Then again, he has no issue with me being emotionally intimate, only physically. I don't know. I hope you...

Ok, I can be dense ;-). What you are saying, I think, is that it's not just about sex, it's about what sexual connection and love can develop into? I don't know exactly what it's about for me, other than connection. And I love feeling sexually healthy, which is selfish, but still good. I...
