They could always sleep in a hotel (and not kick you out of your own house!) and spend the day at home?

Another thing you might want to look at is if it is doable for them to spend one or two weekends a month with your son, so that you can have some free alone time as well, to rest, do your own stuff, etc.

I'm sorry for what you went through. It seems like it wasn't much of a fun weekend. As I see it, there are two separate issues here that you all need to deal with and agree upon: 1. The complete and total lack of consideration from Joy about your feelings. Sure, she is not responsible for...

That's what you can do, make him happy (yeah, yeah, insofar as anyone can make someone else happy, blah blah blah). But being there for him when he needs you, taking him out (or let him take you out) on amazing dates, confirm via his favorite love language that you do love him very much...

Sexual disfunction can be mental as well as physical. It seems like he has some mental issues that cause his disfunction in certain circumstances.

Whatever the letter of the agreement, this is just a shitty asshole action of Brian. Anyone with half a brain and who even remotely cares about their partners well being would know that you are hurting in that moment, and would know what it is that is hurting you. And he knows, I'm assuming...

Maybe a silly solution but could you agree with them that if their bedroom door is open it automatically means that you are welcome to join them if you feel like it, and if the door is closed it means they would like some private time? That way you don't have to wonder, they don't have to...

No hard and fast rules, but in general the way we manage it is based on emotions and how important the other people feel the event is. So neither depending on the event, nor on the person, but based on a situation by situation evaluation. The one thing we do do, which I think is only polite...

Seems like a good plan. I don't mind 24/7 situations, but I am very against involving other people in those situations when they have not consented to it. That could be other partners, but also other friends, etc. We used to have an adjusted 24/7 situation for a bit, but I couldn't deal with...

I've been in the "scene" since I was 17 or 18 (first online, later some play parties and get-togethers). When I met my husband that stopped, since he is not much of a public person. I am very much a masochist and a sometimes submissive. Recently things changed in our relationship; now I'm very...

You could have an adjusted 24/7, one where you are always in D/s mode whenever you are together, but not while you are apart, or not while you are with your other partners?

I deal with it by doing things I like during the weekend. Enjoy the time for some father/children bonding during the day. I'm not sure how old they are, but can you take them somewhere child-friendly for a nice weekend away? Or just do fun stuff in your own town with them? In the evening, if...

So... My husband left this morning to go on a short holiday (4 days) with his girlfriend). I'm more ok than I thought. I was a mess most days this week before, because I know I'll miss him. Pregnancy has made me very needy of him being around. But today, now that he is actually gone, I'm...

I think this is a good practice in any relationship, mono, poly or anything in between or beyond. I strongly believe that children are better off the more people love them, but also that they need stability.

My parents just referred to them as good friends, nothing more. It was a way for us to show respect (my parents were big on the respect through names thing, I personally disagree) to people without having to call them sir or something quite that formal.

I grew up calling close friends of my parents and some other moms in the neighborhood aunt and uncle. It just meant closeness. I'm pregnant now and if things go well with my husbands girlfriend my baby will call her aunt X. I never had any issue seeing the difference between a friend aunt or a...

Don't write it yourself. Write it together.

Have you ever tried just telling him that you'd like it if he would take a bit more responsibility around the house? No need for confrontation, angry shouting or anything like that, just a normal conversation between adults who are both adjusting to living together. What you are going through...

It makes sense. One thing you could do is make it clear that you have some limitations in terms of attention and time, not as much on an emotional level. I love sex as much as the other person, but someone who right from the starts tells me it is *only* sex will not get far with me. Because...

Why? What would happen if a situation develops naturally from sex to FWB or girlfriend situation?
