    A thank you to the forum!

    Hi everyone! I started a thread back here in 2016 (http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77319) and the guidance, advice and different opinions really helped, so I just wanted to say thank you, both to the people who read and replied to my thread and the forum/community itself. I...

    To open, or not to open??

    I agree Jane, though I suppose dates are what you make it? I find conventional dating to be very stifling; you usually have to put your best foot forward and not your real foot, if that makes any sense! C and I went on our first date a whole year after we got together. Before that, we would...

    To open, or not to open??

    Hey all! In the order of your responses, here are my replies!:) Spork: Yes I agree, which ever way it's done, getting to know one another is a must, or at least it is for me. opalescent & kdt26417: KDT pretty much has it correct. For the eight years that we've been together I've indulged him...

    To open, or not to open??

    Thanks Tinwin and Gala, and no Spork, not at all offended. I agree with everything above, it's not nice if that for some, but again I think it depends on the desired connection. I'd say what Z and I have is still what I was initially searching for (I hate dating!). Most of our getting to know...

    To open, or not to open??

    Hi everyone! I hope I'm not necro-posting as I know this is an old thread but I felt strongly about updating it and adding another thank you to those that initially offered their advice:) Any future words of advice won't be unwelcome! So I started this thread almost a year ago...and pretty...

    To open, or not to open??

    Hi Gala, thanks for your input. Yes, the alternative would be a breakup for sure, as is the usual result of a mismatched sex life/needs not being met; this is us compromising! In terms of our actual relationship, it's very good I'd say. Any issues we've had in the past, we've managed to work...

    To open, or not to open??

    Hi Evie, Thanks for your reply, I've edited that last post to death so excuse me if you find I've added to it. Just to clarify, no, we're not looking for someone to have sex with both of us and in truth, don't expect someone to ask me to go on holiday but should it happen, I would only say yes...

    To open, or not to open??

    Thanks KDT and Tinwen! We have been taking it very slowly, almost a year now in searching for the right person. The meeting up and finding the right person is worth the wait, though. Tinwen, thanks for the book, I'll be getting it. You have it right: It seems you want some kind of very...

    To open, or not to open??

    Hi Pinkpig, Thanks for your input! We were just discussing the whole meetup factor so thanks for throwing that in. I guess we're still trying to workout what the ingredients are for a successful open relationship. As communication goes, we're more than decent at that now. We've learnt in...

    To open, or not to open??

    Hi Tinwen! Thanks for replying. I'll try my best to answer the questions:) 1. Is there something for your boyfriend, that he expects, wants or apreciates with poly (what's there in for HIM)? That's a really good question (one only he can answer...) So I'll ask him. C says: "My happiness (as in...

    To open, or not to open??

    Hi everyone! I’ve wandered around this forum on and off for the past six months. I’ve set up an account, deleted it, set it up again, lurked, deleted it, set it up again and so on. Today I have finally decided to delve in. I’ve explored the idea of open relationships for at least two years now...
