    Polyamory in the wild (literally)

    I'm a career scientist, and all things science still fascinate me. I noticed today that there are three birds building a nest together on my balcony. Starting a funky thread for any articles or anecdotal evidence related to polyamory in nature 🌲🦅🐻🌴🐟🌊

    Partner keeping our relationship in the closet... but everyone already knows

    Hello! I've posted on here before but it's been awhile. Briefest background ever: I've been married to Joe for 5 years. He's a couple years older than me.

    family vacay, wanting to invite both partners

    I wanted to put these thoughts somewhere, and I'm welcoming advice/thoughts so I figured it would be better suited for the relationships corner. For anyone who doesn't know my story, I live with 2 partners. My husband, Joe and I have been married for 4 years. Pea and I have been dating for...

    New relationship anxiety lasting longer in a poly relationship?

    Hi all! I posted on here awhile ago asking others what coming out is like, how to know when you're ready, and got a lot of really good resources. I'm in a stage where I feel both my relationships are on pretty equal footing (I've now been poly as long as I've been mono :0 ! ) and have been more...

    Not getting along with partner's sister (sry for the length)

    Joe is my husband of 3 years, and P is my partner of nearly 2 years. There are many reasons why I haven't gotten along with P's sister. We're really just incompatible humans; I find her to be selfish and high maintenance and I get the idea that she thinks I'm too emotional. P and Joe refer to...

    Still learning to ride the wave

    Figured I'd start a blog on here! The name is really just because I'm still learning a lot about myself while realizing how little I have control over. Plus I'm originally from a beach town and really miss the ocean. Anyway.... Working a lot on doing things by myself/for myself lately. I...

    Planning for the future/husband attempting to set boundaries that I'm not sure I can follow

    Hey gang :) I am getting to a point in my life (and my newer relationship with P) where I've started investing and planning for the future (i.e. possibly having kids, building a community, etc). I was wondering if there were any polycules (hope that's not a stupid word to use) that have planned...

    Partner came out to family!

    My boyfriend (P) spent the past week away with his family. He had no service, so while I was in town dealing with our roommates wanting to know the details of our relationship (we live with my husband and his two friends--see last blog post), he was enjoying himself and I guess also having a...

    Roommate threatening to "out" me to my husband (lmao)

    I live with my husband, my boyfriend and two of my husbands childhood friends (we'll call them Cris and Larry). Sounds like the beginning of a really bad joke, because it is! Larry told my husband yesterday that he saw me and boyfriend naked on the couch together (I remember the incident, it was...

    how tf do hinges do it

    I feel like being a hinge can be a lot to juggle. I'm getting my PhD right now and just maneuvering adult life in general; my goals, dreams, hobbies, making friends, etc. and there are times when having two relationships feels overwhelming. How do hinges out there keep their entire lives from...

    Partner's family indifferent about my existence

    Lol I know the title is super dramatic but that's how I'm feeling. Today I woke up and J (husband) was texting P(boyfriend)’s sister a playlist that he made for her, and they text all the time. (context: P’s sister dated a really good friend of J’s and that’s how they know each other. They’re...

    first solo trip w/ boyfriend

    Hello! I have to drive to Salt Lake to get my scuba certification, and was really wanting my bf to accompany me (it's an 8 hour drive each way, I'll be diving both days I have to drive so I'll be pretty tired). J (husband) is working, but P (bf) conveniently has off. Does anyone have...

    ebb n flo

    For a while I was searching for this set point I could look at and be like "whew I made it" as in adjusting to loving two people; really 'figuring things out'. I think the past few months I've realized there is no definable milestone in which I'll know that... It's as if I was expecting more...

    Something is shifting... in need of advice

    Hello! Life has been great for several months now, but that may in part have been due to a lack of communication. These past few months, Joe (my husband) and I have been doing awesome. We've been speaking each other's love languages; I have been doing little acts of love for him and he's been...

    Went to a monogamous wedding and it sucked

    Hey all:) I was in my really good friend from high school's wedding this past week. She is really happy which was awesome and it was great to see her; covid kept us from making plans for the last couple years. I'm writing about it here because it made me feel lots of feelings. There was a...

    Coming out?

    Hello all! I am wondering if anyone has experiences to share on coming out as poly, whether it's with friends or family etc. (not to a monogamous partner.. thankfully I've already done that 😅). I have been sitting on this for a bit and while I don't personally think I am ready, I am curious...

    Cool moment sans jealousy!

    Hey everyone! I have been feeling really awesome lately and just wanted to share. I had a lot of anxiety about experiencing/having to work through jealousy if having to see either of my partners being intimate with other women... this came partially from a friend of mine not taking my poly...

    Poly stereotyping and I made a mistake :/

    Hello everyone! I've posted a couple times on here so I'll try to keep the context of my situation brief. I'm in a relatively new poly relationship (less than a year), and as my husband is still getting used to the idea of me loving another man (we'll call my husband Joe and this other man...
