    HIV diagnosis

    I saw my therapist and I feel a little better. I'm going to continue going for now because I'm stuck in denial and anger and I need to get to acceptance. I'm not mad at him, I'm mad a the circumstance. I feel like I was so close to the dream and mad that I didn't even get to see him and enjoy...

    New-ish to Open/Poly, and My First Relationship

    You’re the only one that knows if you can do it. SO has been in my life sometimes as a lover and sometimes as the very best more than friend but not lover since we were teens. For us it wasn’t hard but we both naturally allowed our relationship to flow as needed that moment. I agree with your...

    HIV diagnosis

    I made an appointment with the therapist and another one for a local resource center. I didn't really sleep though. I did have a nice evening with dh last night.

    HIV diagnosis

    SO told me today that he has resistant HIV. I'm just devastated. I know now days people live long lives with HIV. But still. My own health isn't currently an issue because we haven't met in person since we realized we're in love with each other last year. But he's been my closest friend since...

    New to Poly and Overflowing with Joy

    Im glad your transition is going so smoothly. Your story is similar to mine, my husband said he also knew I had feelings for SO and that you can't help who you love. I told SO that my love for another person ( he wasn't the first time this happened) spills over to DH, like I can't contain it...

    Processing, Encounters, societal expectations

    NSA is short for no strings attached, sorry probably should have written it out at least the first time I used it. It was basically a one night stand with someone I don't know. I think that most of my confusion was about my own reaction when I told DH. And I told him because we'd previously...

    Is the poly experience different for married men vs. married women?

    I'm certainly not saying my situation is the norm and most of the IRL people I've known that are poly were other bi/pansexual women and their usually male partners and generally they were seeking other women. In my case, both of the men that I've had relationships with while with my husband...

    I'm sure compersion is part of it. But I'm not sure it includes the sexual excitement that I get. I should say that when I used the word date above, it was actually a kink fulfillment encounter and not a romantic date. He hasn't been dating anyone else romantically.

    Help please x

    I thought you both had partners? So where's the fourth person in this? How does his current partner feel about this idea? Do you know each other? Do they both want a triad ( you would be romantically involved with both) or a V or what? And what about the relationship you were in when this...

    Funny that you included my name in that Kevin because as I've been processing my new experiences this week I only just realized that's what it was called. I've always found the idea of dh sleeping with someone else exciting especially if I could watch but even if I couldn't, but he's never...

    Processing, Encounters, societal expectations

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum area for this topic, and I'm not sure on the parameters of discussing kink and side swinging topics here. I'm not sure where to start. Since my husband has lost interest in practicing our kinks this has been an unmet need for me for quite awhile. I've...

    My husband is currently mono by choice, from my end my NRE with my other partner spills over to my husband because I’m just so happy and his interest in sex has increased. We’ve had mismatched drive all along, I’m younger than him with a high sex drive. I know he’s turned on by the whole thing...

    "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women"

    I've been following the controversy for awhile. Here's the thing, from what I can tell, Christy Marston never even met her grandfather. He died in 1947 and I can't seem to find her age, but it seems that her father Pete, was born in 1928, which means he was 19 when his father died. So it...

    Texting boundaries

    ok so the question is how do we handle texting when with one of our partners? We're pretty loose. If I know SO is on a date I won't text him. Because I want to give him space. He hasn't asked me not to, but I don't. If dh and I are out together, I might text SO. I've done it when DH and I...

    Checking in

    I did write a long intro yesterday but when I hit submit, it said I wasn't logged in ( even though I was) so I'm assuming that it never ended up in the queue. So here's another go. I haven't come up with monikers for my partners yet, so I'm going to use DH and SO for now. I'm Skadhi, married...

    "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women"

    I saw it this week and loved it. I thought they did a great job with the story. I know there is some controversy over the granddaughter saying that Elizabeth and Olive didn't have a sexual relationship, but regardless it doesn't take away from the poly aspect of the story in my eyes. And...
