    Do Any of You 'Screen' Potential Partners for Poly/Poly Acceptance?

    So, I detailed my recent breakup in this thread. This was a monogamous woman who kept asking for patience as she got used to the idea of polyamory, and did all she could to draw out the whole "just the two of us" scenario. She basically flat out lied about her ability to accept the two major...

    Hi all, Was just having a discussion with a friend who also a polyamorous lesbian. We were just shooting the breeze and having middle of the night cocktails, discussing my recent break-up, and we got on the subject of lesbian poly relationships. Now, it is, by and large, frowned upon when...

    Broke Up With Toxic Mono Partner Who Lied About Being Able To Accept Poly

    So, I have not been here in awhile. I had finals, and a lot of other stuff going on. Anyway, I had posted about dating a mono woman who had said she accepted my being poly and we were working on it. BIG MISTAKE. She was toxic in a lot of ways. It all came out a couple of weeks ago, when my...

    Just Seeking Some Insight - Dating A Much Younger Mono Woman

    So, I haven't been here in awhile, but it's for a good reason. I went back to school for another degree. I'm 36, so that means having to interact with a lot of traditional age college students. However, I am an unmarried, childfree lesbian, so I tend to fit in better than say, someone my age who...

    Mono Folks Who Are Only Open To Save A Marriage

    So, as I posted in a thread here awhile ago, a couple of summers ago I got involved with a woman in a monogamous marriage whose marriage was only open due to sexual incompatibility. I later learned that, as is the usual case in these scenarios, that there were a lot of underlying issues in the...
