    The Joys of Grad Student Final Papers

    Riding out the economy in school was my plan too. However, I have to go back to work. Fortunately (or sadly as the case may be) I can make decent money with my Associates in Nursing. Bachelor's in Sociology just doesn't do much for me, and it will be years before I'll have the graduate...

    The Joys of Grad Student Final Papers

    Actually, I'm headed into Criminology. I'm taking this course to understand my Dad better and fill some gaps for me ;) This is my last thing for my undergraduate. I have to stop my studies and work full-time for 1.5 years to support the family before I can go back to get the PhD...

    The Joys of Grad Student Final Papers

    There's a Professor at Georgia State U whose research specialization is poly. She's completing a longitudinal study on children of poly families, but it hasn't been published yet.

    Children and Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    What you are talking about is grandparents' rights. In general, all but a few states in the US no longer have grandparents' rights. In fact, the very concept has been ruled unconstitutional. However, since it involves civil law, it will take each state having a case rise that high in the court...

    Conflicted-- affair or poly?

    Lying to your wife, hiding your relationship, and maintaining secrecy is NOT polyamory. It's cheating. You can call it whatever you want. However, if you are not being honest with your wife, you are cheating. Do with that what you want. However, continuing down the path you are going can...

    Changes in our relationship since she got pregnant

    Try identifying things that speak love to Bree and show them to her. Small, insignificant things that speak directly to her heart and help her feel safe and loved. Just express them without any expectation of return and then let it speak for itself to her. Bek has a tremendous advantage...

    Changes in our relationship since she got pregnant

    I've been through enough pregnancies to tell you a couple of things. Regardless of where your relationship is headed, a pregnant woman feels a tremendous need to retreat and have very tight support from one person, not a lot of people. It's called nesting, and it's a natural part of the...

    Rising Revelations

    I'm brand new to this, so I don't have a lot of great insight. However, I'm probably about as far down the path of poly as you and I can tell you that I really don't like the approach your husband is taking to this. In our situation, we did not set up to deliberatelly be poly. It happened...

    Cautious toe in the water

    I'm brand new here. I'm not new to exploration or an open relationship, but I'm very new to making any declaration that I have this type of marriage. Raised anabaptist, thus the user name. The board wouldn't let me use the name "preacher's daughter" that felt so much more accurate for me...
