Thank you, Kevin! Our communication had not been NVC for a few months, but we've recently overcome not listening/hearing each other and it has been a breath of fresh air for the both of us. I will definitely look into that book though, the more information we arm ourselves with the better...

Hi GalaGirl, I do understand the concern, and I know that I could ignore you if I chose to but that's not what I'm here for. I'm not here to tell my story and really ignore the people that respond to it. And a lot of the people in this forum might think that it's a fallacy, but from what I've...

Powerpuff, I realize cheating isn't polyamory. We jumped into this completely blind and head first. It was not the best, but we both were at fault for the rough start. My SO did have my permission to sleep with someone, but when the opportunity presented itself we didn't take the time to really...

Hi GalaGirl and Powerpuff, I know I posted this earlier today, as well as a response to Powerpuff last night, but they don't seem to be coming through. So here it is again: I do understand the concern, and I know that I could ignore you if I chose to but that's not what I'm here for. I'm not...

Rocky start Hi everyone, VolitleRollercoaster, If you've seen my intro thread things don't look like they should be working for me, but rest assured they are. I'm 26, new to the community and polyamory. I'm a hetero F, mono-ish, working a normal office job and attempting to become and actress...

Hi Powerpuff, I know that poly isn't cheating. He knows that too, I know what my self worth is. We both know what happened was awful, and heinous. We both acknowledge that. I'm not trying to "evolve" into a better person. Plenty of people think "once a cheater, always a cheater" I'm not one...

Hi GalaGirl! I know how my story sounds (haha). And I have asked and have been asked those same questions by friends, family, an old therapist, my SO. And no, it's not a healthy foundation to seek to open our relationship, I wholeheartedly agree. I have done lots of soul searching on all these...

For extra info... We've made strides the past few weeks in therapy, but had a heavy backslide this past weekend resulting in us being triggered and old wounds being opened again. We definitely need to work on our communication to get back to where we used to be a year go. Since I found this...

Hi all! This is gonna be a long one... I'm a mono person who has been dating a poly man for 3.5 years. We didn't start off as mono/poly, just mono. Until about a year or so ago he betrayed my trust in a big way with a friend of mine whom he'd become closer to. He was hitting on her rather...
