    Disabled Folks

    Did you ever get an answer to your question, StudentofLife? I’m betting you’re no longer around, but I’m sending good thoughts to you if you do ever read this. I’m bumping this thread because I was just about to start a new thread about navigating polyamory when you have a disability but...

    Bisexual, ENM woman - where r they?

    Welcome, Pa_Ulla! Have you tried setting up accounts on dating sites like OkCupid or Her? Her is an app for queer women only. OkCupid is much more mainstream, so I don’t think I have to explain that one. :) Either of them might be helpful! Be as descriptive of what you have to offer, what...

    Polyamory films

    “The Polyamory Breakup Book: Causes, Prevention, and Survival” by Kathy Labriola was a good read. I honestly found it just as helpful for platonic relationships as for the romantic ones it was written for.

    Navigating spouse's concerns over my interest in & desire for polyamory

    I second the recommendation for lots of individual and couples therapy. Polyamory (and other forms of ethical nonmonogamy) change your existing relationship in all sorts of ways that can sometimes be difficult to predict in advance. Change isn’t always a bad thing! But it sure can be scary...

    Closed parts of the forum.

    I also like the idea of having a closed section to keep certain things out of the reach of Google searches.

    What are married poly women looking for?

    Along with all of the good points that have already been brought up, it’s been my experience that many (but certainly not all!) married poly men do not have much bandwidth for the sorts of stuff that makes me eager to date someone new. This is even more common if they have young children/ a...

    Women’s misunderstandings of Poly , How to inform them ?

    I’m sorry this keeps happening to you. If it’s okay to ask, where are you meeting these potential partners? One thing you could try is briefly describing what polyamory means to you either in your profile or very early on after you meet if you’re meeting these people in person. There are...

    Why do you use the online name that you use?

    The definition of alluvion is “the action of the sea or a river in forming new land by deposition.” For example, a river carrying silt to a riverbank and eventually adding far more land there than it originally held. I love the mental image of slowly creating something substantial over time...

    Hi! Asexual exploring Poly with an Allo partner

    Welcome! I’m demisexual myself. Dating can definitely be trickier when you’re on the asexual spectrum, but there are wonderful people out there who are cool with it. If you do a search for asexual and related terms, you can find some threads on the topic. :)

    He's in love, and I feel heartbroken

    I had similar emotions a few years ago when my spouse fell in love. It can be hard to see someone you’re in a relationship experience NRE (new relationship energy) or fall in love, especially the first time. I hope things improve for you soon. They did for me as time passed and things settled...

    I should probably introduce myself.

    Welcome, Mbalmr71! I'm also a Harry Potter nerd. There is a lot of wisdom on these boards. Our official greeter will no doubt stop by shortly, but do feel free to check out the Golden Nuggets forum in the meantime if you're interested in reading some of the best posts here. I've learned so much...

    Testing the waters

    Welcome, gratefulduck! I couldn't agree with Kevin more. Take your time and explore everything fully before deciding if polyamory is for you (or if a particular person is the right one for you to date!). There really is no rush. :)
