    You know I wish you all the best. Just as an aside, I worked as a lactation specialist for 25 years, so if you need any help, hit me up in the DMs!

    hello from a hesitant polyam in Kentucky

    Indie, I think he answered that upthread: He doesn't want to "blow this." However, he wants to move more slowly. She wants to move up the escalator more quickly. And he is feeling scarcity. Like, she is one of the few poly women in his area, so he better do whatever she says, because if he...

    Renewed intro.

    I hope you're able to make the move to a more poly-friendly area! I live near Boston and it helps a lot.

    Okay, so you do need to work around your young daughter as you try and date. The older she gets the easier that will get. Good. That helps. Yeah, in this particular culture, this board, we have come to call polyamory a love style, to differentiate it from the more casual, sex-based...

    mrd, have you ever been married? Do you have kids? Or are you pretty much your own man, except for when you need to work? Most women in their 40s are busy with careers and their school-aged kids. Some might be lucky to have built-in grandparent-babysitters nearby, but many don't. When I split...

    hello from a hesitant polyam in Kentucky

    So she's got four partners, and yet she wants all your free time, if she's free when you are. There is no rule that says you always have to be available for a partner (or any friend) when they have free time, and you do, as well. It's not a polyamory thing; it's just a relationship thing.

    polyam guy looking for [whatever]

    If you want a local polyamorous group, you could try googling "polyamory" + your closest city. Of course, you won't find as many polyamorists in KY as you might in, say, Boston or Seattle, but it's worth looking. Some swinger groups also border on polyamory in some ways, for alternative...

    NRE and ERI

    Hey, I'm glad you're back with an update! That's good. Ugh, so it's just a summer romance with an end point. Well, maybe you can remain FWBs afterwards, at least until P finds the local person of their dreams. I gave up, myself, on dating people who were just dating around, but secretly or...

    Hi. I see from another post of yours that you're a woman in your 50s. I officially separated from my husband, a mono marriage, at age 53, divorcing a few years later. I am now 70 and I've had no problem finding dates and partners. I am open-minded about age. I find some younger men (and women...

    Out of the blue, I don't know what to do.

    Hi. I just want to confirm your feelings of being devastated, "not enough," the shock of this after a Christian upbringing and only ever being with one romantic/love/sex partner. You are reeling, and that is completely understandable. And you are not alone. I would suggest you try not to...
