    Open Discussion of "Poly Women Respond"

    Sometimes my husband wonders about the same thing that Sean is talking about. He has trouble finding women who are 'okay' with a poly arrangement. He is very upfront about our happy marriage and they seem to be accepting of that at first, but then it seems like they always want more...

    What I Like about Polyamory

    I don't really have anything to add to this, but just wanted to comment and say nice job! :) My husband and I have grown closer through our own experiences and I wouldn't change a thing. It's so easy to share everything together since we are open and can basically talk about anything.

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

    Hmmmm.... maybe I should give OKC another try, there has been a lot of great discussion on this thread and I can see where my profile probably scared people away, as I didn't get but 2 responses to it. I was listed as 'married' as I thought 'available' was misleading, but I get it now that it...

    Talking to parents about the polyamory lifestyle

    For my husband and I, we have chosen not to share this with our family and friends. A lot of people just can't wrap their mind around opening yourself to loving more than one person, they either see it as 'evil', wrong or playing with fire :) We had two very different experiences with opening...

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

    Met with someone yesterday that I had been in contact with oh for maybe a week on ok cupid. Seemed like a really nice guy, and he was... it was just that he misrepresented his weight and few other things :rolleyes: I really don't understand why people misrepresent themselves... if you are...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Feeling a little nervous this AM... going to meet my ex-bf for lunch and a beer :) I do miss him, and as much as I know that things could never really go back to the way they were, I would like to have a friendship with him. I do miss his energy and his input. Hubby is supportive so that is...

    I'm in over my head

    Road trips, time to yourself, can be very empowering. :) Going somewhere new, or at least to a different place than where you are spending your time at the moment, can most times help to clear your head and heart. I do this often, even if it's just a short road trip up the coast. Just the...

    Love lost better left that way??

    Thank you all for the wonderful replies :) I appreciate it! I took a train ride down to a friend's house on Friday, and on the 4 hour ride, I thought a lot about the situation and tried to figure out where my head was/is and why I feel a need to have some connection with this man. Yes, I do...

    Love lost better left that way??

    Well, as usual with me, I can't leave something alone once it is in my head :) So I sat down and wrote out an email to him that laid it all out on the table... whew! We shall see what kind of response I get to that. I think I did a good job of stating my feelings while at the same time, not...

    Love lost better left that way??

    continued... oops, too long, gonna be a sequel here :) Okay, so here it is... should I continue to try and reach my hand and heart out to him in the hopes of regaining a friendship/relationship with him? Does he truly need more time to feel comfortable, or is this just his way of passively...

    New...learning...listening...

    ((((((((justjeni))))))) Thats a hug for you :) I am sorry you are feeling so low. I could rant and rave about how immature and thoughtless your husband seems, but that is not going to be helpful to you, and with the way I am feeling right now, would probably just be a reflection of what I...

    On the lighterside...The 'Things I never thought I would say...'

    I was at a winery and they had some interesting pictures on the wall. One was an abstract that appeared to be two men kissing a naked woman on both her cheeks (face). One of the young woman that worked there walked by and made a comment along the lines of... yes, we have some strange pictures...

    Lots of anger on this post! No one can tell you what the magic trick is to do, but can only offer their opinion and advice. :)
