    Temporary limits on outside relationships?

    We have talked about this for awhile now. I told him that I miss being intimate with me and that it hurts me that he's being intimate with someone else instead. In fact, they have been seeing each other more frequently. He says that with all the stresses in his life right now, particularly...

    Temporary limits on outside relationships?

    Hi there, I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety, insecurity and jealousy in my open poly relationship. My partner has an avoidant attachment style and prizes autonomy and self-reliance to the point where he thinks having any needs at all is "neediness" and that everyone should be 100%...

    Trouble with handling jealousy

    I'm also trying to be understanding of his NRE. I too have recently met someone who I really like spending time with a lot. I think about how much I like seeing him and try to understand that Evan might be feeling similarly towards his new friend. I'm also trying to keep in mind that he has...

    Trouble with handling jealousy

    So after many years of waffling on it and being in separate states, my partners and I have moved in together in a new city where we are starting our lives anew. It's been very stressful but also very exciting and comforting to know that we are making a home together. Lately, though, I've been...

    Possibility of first poly relationship?

    I guess I just worry that it's too soon to bring up taking things to another level after such a relatively short time, however many people are involved. But I wouldn't even be considering this if there wasn't some kind of vibe between us, so I think next time I see them, I'll bring it up and...

    Possibility of first poly relationship?

    I'm a pretty open and sexually liberated guy, and great sex is in no short supply. There is certainly something more going on here, I guess I'm just not sure how much more. My favorite moments and memories have been of just being together. When it was just A and I, I loved spending time just...

    Possibility of first poly relationship?

    As I mentioned in my introduction, I'm new here and I'm looking forward to reading your stories. Here's mine. I'm hoping you can help me out. About a year ago I was in a funk in my private and professional life when I met a beautiful and fascinating man a couple of years younger than me, who...
