    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    Ugh, Bluebird what a bomb drop in a single doctor visit! I’m glad you have the diabetes education office involved, and that everything is being followed up/double checked, and that the other folks will be checking your esophagus (fucking GERD, man. Ugh). I’m sending hugs and hoping your body...

    Age gap questions

    Actually, I’m going to answer this further and say I think besides appreciating my curiosity and interest, they appreciate my (mental) attention and my desire to spend time giving them that attention. In addition they are able to talk frankly with me about sex, relationships, aging, death...

    Age gap questions

    I’m 50, and they’re 80+. We have some shared interests — we met in a community music group. They had recently lost a spouse after a long illness when we met. They have been actively dating, wanting to be paired up or married (and with a pretty strict 10-year age gap limit in their checklist)...

    Age gap questions

    Honestly I love my kids (who seem exceptionally fun to me), but I have never much liked other young 20-somethings, even when I was one. One of my dearest friends is more than 30 years older than I am. We aren’t sexual, but we have a very comfortable chemistry and love each other a ton. i don’t...

    Oh fuck… (where did the time go?)

    Oh, interesting. It does seem like we should now be able to cram a lot more knowing stuff into our allotted term. But then … the internet is full of rabbit holes and wormholes and (holy fuck, again) there went the morning/day/night.

    “Let down” — so to speak. 😂 Erotic lactation is a well-known kink! Don’t “yuck” their “yum,” Mags. 😉

    Wife fell in love with her friend. Now we're talking about making a triad.

    I think you can listen to your wife and her other partner. Tell them your feelings and experience, and hear their needs and interests. It sounds like this is a pretty stable situation that doesn’t need rescue or intervention. So what it needs is care and feeding. Practices that promote...

    Help with insecurity

    Maybe try to set aside the stuff that you need to process, since it’s a short visit. Maybe think of this as a rapid re-connect. A nice, long hug (if that would feel good). “I love you” if you say that normally. “You good?” (or some other abbreviated check-in) if you want to indicate...

    Wife fell in love with her friend. Now we're talking about making a triad.

    Does friend also want this? How will you feel if one of them changes their mind and wants the usual privacy a dyad has when exploring sex together? Have you suggested this? Maybe you can just decline to be present the first time they’re together. Since you’re not sure how it would be for you...

    How to show commitment to the non spouse partner

    What will be their role in the family? How do you define family, and what status does a “non-spouse partner” have? If it’s truly the equivalent of a wedding ring, how about a wedding ring? I’m a little worried about the way you say “we are considering adding” [a grown adult] “to our family.”...

    Boundaries

    I might be reading a whole lot into this. But it seems just possible that something about discussing metamour with you might in some way change the way you partner sees and experiences their other relationship. I have had this problem, where once I tell (for instance) Charlie about Victor...

    I’m just full of regret that we will never know who we were talking to, and who his unbelievable correspondents are. I feel like we came this close to glory. 😭

    I am correct. I do wonder.

    Help please.

    I'm not going to reproduce my quotes and commentary from my original half-post. But please do try to edit and break up that wall of text into paragraphs for the readers. Your wife cheated on you by sexting other men. You insisted that you try a form of open marriage where she continues sexting...

    Not just any social engineering project, but one based on some wackadoo bullshit about women needing sister wives and “the very best men.” 🤮

    Help please.

    sorry. Posted before done. And now considering another approach. I’m very muddled trying to follow the wall of text.

    Only now do I wonder if this was written by someone’s character.io … (If not for the errors in punctuation, spelling, and syntax I’d be willing to believe it.)
