Darling's wife was there and is 100% supportive of our relationship. She was thrilled when I showed her the ring. I think this is very overwhelming to his family. We will probably have to start our own Holiday traditions if his extended family is not comfortable. He and I both agree that the...

We came out to Darlings family and our friends last week. They now know that he and his wife are in a platonic marriage and we are engaged. The entire day was wonderful. They were so sweet and loving towards my children and I. We were really looking forward to spending Christmas with them...

We are in CA. My attorney says that my sexual orientation is not an issue. The courts here can not use that at all in determining custody. However, she is not too happy about Darling being married. She keeps emphazing that he needs to be "seriously considering divorce" when we go into the...

I have always been poly but was in a mono marriage for 18 years. When I finally approached my husband about opening our marriage, at first, he was accepting and excited. In reality he couldn't handle me loving someone else and we separated (if it had merely been sex he says he would have been...

You are absolutely right about the sexual health issues. Something that didn't cross my mind when thinking about this. I was thinking of exclusive as in she is his only sub. If he is implying to his sub that there are no other partners at all? Is he not revealing his wife too? That is...

I understand how painful it must be to be in a loving relationship that is not acknowledge publically. I can hear the hurt in your post. The dynamics of a sub/dom relationship can be a challenge for someone outside the life to grasp. It's almost like an alternate universe. I'm a sub and my...

In my situation, I have only had to deal with her meltdowns and temper tantrums so far. The abandoment fears cloud everything she sees. She has a very regimented outlook on what a relationship should be like and wants SO and I to fit her mold. She asked me what a committed relationship is to...

She has been in therapy for years and takes a variety of medication. I spoke with her yesterday. Basically she says that she wants to get better and doesn't want to see my relationship with SO end. I told her that I was done caretaking her. That is she wants to be be able to handle life she...

I guess I'm a one of those mythical unicorns. How do you meet me? You just do. There isn't a specific place or way. However, I do want to throw in a bit of personal experience. When I met my SO, I knew he had another GF. At first we talked about how "nice" it would be if we could form a...

I've never really been her friend, I just feel more pressure to now that I am dating SO. When we started dating I made an effort to connect with her. SO really believes in integration so a lot of time it's the three of us doing something, like going to dinner. She gets one night alone with...

I have been in a new relationship for about five months now. The issue I am having is my partner's SO has begun to imitate me. It's almost like she is trying to be me. We are completely different women, in dress, behavior, tastes. She is more of a down-to-earth person, I'm more flamboyent...
