    Introvert seeking advice.

    Well, what sort of things are you interested in? What are your hobbies and passions, outside of your wife? And if you don't have many, maybe its time to work on that. It is hard to love people and be loved in return, if you don't think that you are interesting and lovable. You can be...

    Support vs. Meddling in Partner/Metamour Relationship

    The way you describe it makes me feel slightly uneasy. He should know how to be considerate of his partner, and the fact that he isn't seems like a huge red flag to me. Some minor things, like the sheet changing, just really might not be on his radar and wouldn't be out of line to mention - like...

    Limits

    Hierarchy and rules definitely ARE NOT necessary to polyamorous relationships, and in my opinion (based in my personal experience and philosophical ideas of poly) they are much more damaging than anything else. Rules are only for people you don't trust to behave properly - and if you don't...

    Platonic primaries?

    If you both want to make it work I have no doubt that you can.

    High need for affection

    I just asked him about this and he was like "sure!" so I do think that will really help, but then part of me is like "WTF if its that easy why weren't we doing it all along?!" lol Also, I didn't realize going into things how much it would bother me to be closeted. He did not disclose it as...

    Question about parenting a poly partner's child.

    15 year olds are kind of the worst, that age is SUPER difficult and pretty much everyone I know went through a stage of being a real pisser at that age. I would totally agree that Jane needs to be home more and spend more time with Jill. Why is she gone so often? Unless she is working evenings...

    High need for affection

    I have always had a really a very strong desire for lots of physical affection from romantic partners - touch, kisses, hugs, cuddles, etc. I never thought about it much in my prior monogamous relationships, because it always seemed fairly easy for boyfriends to adjust their behavior to meet...
