I'm sure you could find a great deal about coming out if you search the threads as well. :) Personally, I'm out to all of my friends, most of my work colleagues, and Jack and Taylor's family. I intend to come out to my family soon and am being respectful of Roger's desire not to come out to his...

How would you prefer they respond? With jealousy? Jealousy in mono relationships is often considered a sign of "love." The emotion is treated a bit different in poly, more of a barrier to overcome. It DOES sound like they want you to find someone else. Many poly people would be thrilled about...

Congrats on your engagement!! Sounds like it was beautiful! :)

If it helps, there's no diagnosis as a "psychopath" within the field of psychology. In addition, schizophrenia and antisocial personality disorder (the closest thing to "psychopath" though with glaring differences) are rarely (ever?) diagnosed together. Likely, it is one or the other (and...

Thinking of you and wishing you only the best...

I'm sorry to hear that things are still rough between you and A. You don't sound happy with him. :( What would it take for you to decide to end things? Have you considered what your hard boundaries are? If you are willing to forgive him breaking your golden rule, when will you draw the line...

Tron, since you are seriously thinking about cheating on Mabel to be with Penny, consider this: Will you lie to Penny too and tell her that Mabel is okay with you dating? Or will you be upfront with her and encourage her to be active participant in your cheating? From what you've said about...

I am so sorry. Words cannot describe how horrifying that must have been.

Good points. Agreed.

My partners and I have agreed to tell each other when we're interested in someone new. Specifically, before the first date (if possible) or if it were a spontaneous occurrence, soon after. We inform each other of all sexual partners, regardless of barrier free or safer sex practices used. But...

Glad you found some clarity in your life. Way to assert your needs. :)

LOL! (Not in front of a mirror though) I dunno, apparently it's okay because she won't bite... Oh boy...

Be kind to yourself during this time. Be understanding that it's hard. :o Glad to see that she's refocusing a bit back to you and your relationship.

I mean this kindly, and I'm going to be blunt. I apologize if it comes across a bit harsh, but I feel directness is important here. You chose to stop talking to Penny. You cheated on Mabel (emotionally and physically). In order to save your marriage, you chose to end things with Penny to...

Interesting article! Some intriguing points on open relationships and being a feminist. Some MESSED UP comments below the article, though I suppose that's just the Internet? Woah!

Have you asked her that? :)

It makes sense why it's been hard for you to open up to your friends/family. Do you have any friends that are your own, not mutual friends? People who don't know your wife? Do you have any friends who are poly-friendly or open themselves? Could you start seeing a therapist for additional...

Glad to hear that you and Jon are finally on the same page. Bet that feels great. :) And glad to hear that your physical therapy is going well!

I'm sorry to hear how lonely you are. :( How's your support network? Do you have friends/family to whom you can talk about this? Get some of their support too? Internet hugs only go so far... If it's not so great, can you use your newfound free time when your wife's seeing her new guy to...
