Hi everyone, I am in a situation where my partner, Dave, lives with and is married to Mia. Mia dates Tom, and has gotten serious with him over the past year. (During that same time frame, Dave has gotten closer to me.) Until recently, I didn't realize how iffy Dave's relationship with Mia has...

Hi There, I just posted some background on where I am at and why I have returned to the forums here. I have had experience with both monogamous and polyamorous relationships, but am in a newish to a DDLG+poly relationship. I was hoping to get some feedback from members here as I dive deeper...

Hi, it's been a while and my signature is broken. I see the signature in the edit/modify profile section, but there is no link or button to allow me to edit or delete it. Am I missing something? Thanks!:)

Back at Poly, this time as a "Little" and not sure if its for the best Hi Friends, I used to use this resource quite often when I was in a few different poly relationships from age 19-22. I am now 28. I spent the past 4ish years in a monogamous relationship. It was pretty damn toxic. I was...

After a year with 2 partners, I realize what an emotional toll poly has taken on me, and that I don't feel innately poly. Yes, there are huge rewards to polyamory, but they don't seem to outweigh the emotional turmoil my partners and I go through. My boyfriend Patrick was poly when I met him and...

Where to go to find a poly friendly counselor in NJ? hard to come by?

Communication vs. Sharing too much I know that communication is super important on all aspects. When Nell decided she wanted some space from my OSO, Patrick, I told him so and the reasons why. Patrick got upset because he wishes he never knew why, because now he feels like he has to pretend...

I am wondering, if it is a reasonable boundary to request that a partner does not have causal sex prior to a date or two. The reason I ask this is because I know some see sex as a starting point in a relationship, or discover the connection they have with someone because of casual sex. I am not...

I am still unsure if P is poly. I know labels are just labels. It doesn't really matter. I explained to him that labels are reassuring at times. I explained "It makes no difference to me what you do, what kind of relationships you have ect". Id like however if we could understand and admit the...

Hey, it's been a while since I have been on here! I am Glow. I have been in a relationship with polyamorous man, P, for about 7 or 8 months now. I have some question regarding interactions during social situations, how I should behave, etc. P has fooled around with a few girls (making out...

At a party, a girl I'd never seen before came up to me and P and started to make out with P. He graciously accepted, while I just stood there feeling extremely awkward, not knowing what to do. I didn't get any warm fuzzies. I thought it was kind of rude, actually, and felt a little upset. Of...

Very often, P sends me cute or nice messages by cell phone. Later he forgets he did it and shows me the same message on his phone, saying, "Look what L sent me," or "L sent me this message and I thought it was sweet, so I sent it to you." Is it silly to feel bad when finding out that an...

I really don't know one way or another. I don't have a gut feeling that tells me that I am poly, or that I am mono, for that matter. Likewise, I am attracted to both males and females. I have never had any sexual relations with females, but am open to doing so. What does this make me? Does...

My bf who is poly is always trying to get me to meet other people...something I am open to doing but isnt instinctual for me (I have social anxiety which I think is one large cause of this...I have trouble just meeting people.) I explained to him that many people have mono poly relationships...

For the first time, I had sex with someone I am not dating. I told him before we did anything that I would have to tell P about this, and he said okay. I told P, and while I was a little nervous, P said, "Congrats, hunny! Isn't it nice being poly?" and the whole time I'm thinking what I just did...

I say a word then you post the word that first comes to mind when you read my word for example: glowinthedarkstars: morning someone else: sun its easy peasy, kinda cheesy but lots of fun. my word is Apple.:o

I am 100% new to this. I am dating a poly man who has been poly for 17 years. Naturally, I have questions. Patrick hasn't defined any primaries, secondaries, etc., in his relationships. Is this normal? Many times, Patrick talks about his other girls to each of us, or confuses the things we...

Hi my name is Glow. I am a newb here. 20 years old. Believe that some people are just magical creatures in disguise (faeries, angels, genies, monsters ect.) I am a psychology student. I love flowers, the moon, shiny things, and drinking tea. I am a mono in a fairly new mono/poly relationship...

Hello. I'm new around here and have nobody to discuss this with, so I thought this forum might be a good place. I have been lurking for a couple of months but finally made an account. I met a fantastic man who is poly. When I first met him, he told me all about polyamory, and later urged me to...
