Just got an email from mount Olympus. Dear Curious Ron Just because I didn't turn hubby's mistresses into cows doesn't mean I condoned his behavior. It just means I recognized that it wasn't their fault that hubby couldn't keep it in his toga. Trust me Ron, he got his when he got home. Love...

True but it's more what she didn't do then what she did. She didn't go around turning Poseidon's lovers into cows and trying to kill their children with snakes like Hera did.

I like inventing new words and I have an idea for one. The word is "amphitritism" (adjective "amphitritic") In Greek mythology, both Zeus and Poseidon liked to have affairs with mortal women but unlike Hera who who was extremely jealous and gave weapons grade grief to Zeus's mortal lovers and...

A popular quote that may or may not have been said by Johnny Depp... “if you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second.” I once spoofed this by saying... "If you have two children then put the first...

I never said that.

When I first wrote this as a post to a Facebook polyamory group, it was actually "serial monogamy" I had in mind. Particularly the kind where someone has a series of monogamous relationships that last from a few months to a few years and constantly goes through the cycle of meet, date, exclusive...

In actual practice the "no breakup dynamic" would work best among free agents who date like minded people, particularly RAs and egalitarian polys. Polifi arrangements, particularly closed triads, tend to be more "mono-like" and are therefore subject to more mono dynamics. Like I said before, it...

Yea, that's one of the "monkey wrenches" I mentioned.

This is an idealistic theory I first posted to a facebook polyamory group and later as an essay on fetlife. Like I said it's idealistic and might have a lot of practical drawbacks but I would like to know what some of you think. I'm including the two comments from the essay. --- Note: I...

It's also possible that the person who sent you that message was a "troll" who has sent similar messages to other polys. If the dating site has a forum, you might ask if others have received such messages.

This is important even in mono relationships. How many relationships ended because two people lived in tiny apartments and were up each others asses all the time?

I think it's a very common problem. Sometimes "undesirable traits" don't become apparent until later in a relationship when NRE wears off.

Hmmm, am I a mono like poly person or a poly like mono person? Well, I think I'm naturally poly in attitude. I've come to this conclusion in hindsite based on some previous experiences in my life such as not feeling jealousy (at least not much) at the thought of previous partners possibly being...

51 year old male from Atlanta, Georgia. I describe myself as monoish. (mono-ish) That means I prefer a "mono like" relationship with a primary partner with dynamics very similar to what's found in most mono relationships. I wish to be happy and satisfied with that one relationship but still be...
