    On being disabled, sexuality, and becoming poly.

    Hi there! Just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful blog, it has been refreshing and interesting to read this evening. I am sitting at home while husband is out with his GF and well, I guess feeling a little sorry for myself haha I too am having troubles meeting someone to share myself...

    I don't like my metamour :(

    Hmm... Okay. If I were Anne, I might see some red flags in your thoughts and behavior toward Bob and your relationship. It sounds like you have your mind made up about how it all should go and how your future looks with this man, but you resent the hell out of his wife. Not good! In the...

    Need some guidance - sleeping arrangements

    Yeah, I agree with Cheryl. Something needs to change. Otherwise, things would be going along just fine with no hard feelings, boundaries crossed, etc. This doesn't sound like a healthy place for anyone to be in. I personally would not want to be in any of the three positions there, but I like to...

    What an interesting journey...

    Nice :) Your post made me smile. I have tried OKC myself but with no real luck. I know these things take time, but I also live in a small rural community so it seems that I have 'met' the available men in my area and not compatible. Not totally giving up but taking a break, lets just say...

    Struggling with time and honesty...

    I have to agree with Jade, based on a very messy and ugly quad relationship my husband and I were in. If the other couple does not seem to have a good solid marriage, I would definitely back off and see if they can work on their problems and issues. If all care about each other, and understand...

    Reflections of a Liar

    Oh boy, I feel for you Veganchick and I also feel for your husband. Too many times have misunderstandings or miscommunications or insecurities have gotten my husband and I into huge fights, where we thought too that it is time to throw in the towel and call it a day. He and I are so compatible...

    Polyamory perspective on internet porn?

    I agree. My hubby likes to look at stuff on the internet. Personally, I am more turned on by written material. But when you come right down to it, it's basically the same thing.

    Love Language Profile

    Well I scored really high (10) on physical touch and (9) on quality time. Actually makes sense to me :) Will be fun to have hubby take it tonight and see... I think he will actually score high on those two as well, but will be fun to see regardless

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Doing really good today, but wishing I were more outspoken or more brave (??) I went to my dermatologists office this morning, second time I have seen him, and he is really handsome, I am very attracted to him. And I swear he is flirting with me, but so subtly its hard to be sure :p He is...

    Everyday Commitments To Loving Kindness

    Sounds like some really great books that he writes. I wonder if they are down-loadable to Kindle? Will have to check it out. When hubby bought that thing I swore I would not be able to adapt to it, I am such a 'gotta hold the actual book in my hand' person... but I have to say, it's pretty...

    Turnabout

    My hubby used to do this too, he felt like he didn't know how to make another woman feel good without making her feel like the princess of the earth :rolleyes: Then he would wonder why his g/f's would get all crazy jealous and want him to be their only one. He came to realize the destruction...

    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    Well, I have once again stuck my toe in the water and re-started my OKC profile so will see how that goes :) I think I have taken the ample time to let my past wounds heal and am ready to see what is out there for me. Last time wasn't so successful, but am thinking it had more to do with...

    Open Discussion of "Poly Women Respond"

    What you describe is wonderful, and we did have that at one point with people in our lives, but well, didn't work out for various reasons. I am hoping to get to that point again, our life seemed richer with the love of others :) Not that it is necessarily lacking without, it just adds so much...

    Open Discussion of "Poly Women Respond"

    Yeah, maybe we have not taken things slowly enough. I am pretty much open to his time with others (as he is with me). We don't have a laundry list of rules, so maybe that seems like its just an open field to others? Basic of rules of safe sex, let me know where you are, an approximate timeline...

    Open Discussion of "Poly Women Respond"

    It is most definitely not for the faint of heart! :) But whenever he and I talk about just closing that part of our life out, both of us realize that we like that part, maybe we just pick the wrong people? Give too much up front and then they expect everything? Anyway, don't want to hijack...
