    Non-jealousy in Polyamorous Relationships

    Research-design paper I wrote for my Psych capstone class in undergrad. I didn't have too much time to devote to it due to other assignments so I kind of see it as a bit thin and lacking, however as a huge fan of Evolutionary Psych it's definitely a topic that I'm interested in exploring...

    Astrology

    I've been obsessed with it - like on the academic level of obsession - for way too long. There is without a doubt something to it, and I have a lot of thoughts and ideas about its mechanism of operation, and certain implications that it raises. Double-Leo here, with Libra/Scorpio cusp rising.:D

    Ever lose your primary to another relationship?

    GalaGirl, yeah you pretty much captured it. I do come on strong in relationships, or at least I still did when she and I first got together, and one of the things that our lopsided dynamic has shown me is that other people do not necessarily (or even usually) experience me the way I experience...

    Ever lose your primary to another relationship?

    So just a bit of an update on the situation, she without a doubt wants a divorce because she and her new guy want to get married as soon as they can, so that's what I'm doing tomorrow, dealing with getting that whole messy ball rolling. Everything I completely did not want to happen, seems to be...

    Ever lose your primary to another relationship?

    Thank you everyone for the kind replies and perspective. I think she realizes as well that there has been a lot more depth and investment in our marriage, and I know she values it greatly. But also she has this tendency to "bounce out" when things get stressful or past her fairly low conflict...

Though I did not learn of this until a week ago, she wants to move out with...

    Hi, and my story =)

    Thanks idealist, that's good to hear, and it's good to have validation once in awhile. While I've sought to eradicate that as a primary motive in my life (ie. seeking validation per se), it's still nice once in awhile to be understood and to not feel like the proverbial round peg in a world of...

    Hi, and my story =)

    I asked my wife about meeting "M" on my trip and she said "I already told you yes!" (I guess I have a hard time taking yes for an answer!...) She reiterated that she understands that I have a deep bond with "M" that long predates our own relationship, and that she respects that and has mostly...

    Hi, and my story =)

    Hi everyone - I'm new here, just joined the forum. I wanted to ask for some input, advice, and neutral 3rd-party perspectives about my situation, if anyone is interested in responding. to make a VERY long story short: I've basically practiced serial monogamy for most of my adult life; though...
