Ok, I'm going to try to get this thread headed back in the direction I was initially hoping for. Thanks for all the advice and allowing me to vent. But let's suppose she is making gradual improvements. I truly believe she is trying and having some success doing so. What am I to do in the...

I've been to AA, NA, and MA meetings. She's not an alcoholic in that sense. I've studied addiction too, and she's not addicted to alcohol. She may have been a habitual drinker, but not an addict, in terms that an addict feels they cannot live without their addiction, or that they cannot survive...

Though I do sense some sarcasm, I also can see some truth in the statement, especially when the man plays the patriarchal part, in the sense that he is the primary source of income, sole manager of the finances and household paperwork, payer of bills, provider of house and car, has all the debt...

She's not bisexual. She's says she'd be turned on to sit in the closet and peek in while I'm with another woman, but she has no interest in helping me find that woman. I'm not bisexual, but I have stated I'd be willing to try participating in a threesome with her and another guy. I've stated...

I'm kind of scared to ask for her to do things for me at this point, because historically, if she does something for me that I asked for, afterwards she often feels further entitled and says something along the lines of "Now that I've done X for you, you should let me (or be okay with me) doing...

I'm not sure what to do either. I'm not so interested in the small poly social group that exists in this city. Their meetings are rather seldom and most often I'm occupied with nursing school or family life when those meeting occur. My "hobby" is pretty much school for now so, for the most part...

I am having real trouble dealing with my wife's feelings of self-entitlement, and all that "the universe provides" her. My problems stem from the difficulty for her to see how much more I have to work to get the things I want and "need" out of life. I've gone about this problem in the wrong way...

Lunshbox, It's good to hear things are going well for the two of you. Redpepper, thanks for your response. Yes, I do identify as monoamorous. I tried to be a good polyamorous guy, but I have a real hard time focusing on more than one romantic or sexual relationship at a time. As far as doing...

How can I trust again? Lunshbox and Imajica, I wonder how things are going for you, too, for informational and strictly selfish reasons. My wife (of less than two years) and I have been going through a struggle for most of our marriage about her feeling a need to be polyamorous, and me being...

It's not that dating is easy for everyone else. It is just easier for your girlfriend than just about everyone else. Sounds like you are feeling rather hurt and perhaps you are feeling a need for your girlfriend to slow down a bit and allow you to catch up to where you want to me in your own...
