Would you really trust the network responsible for Honey Booboo to air a "real poly show", which I assume means one that presented healthy polyamorous relationships in an accurate manner with a respectful tone? I wouldn't. Probably a moot point though - I bet the execs at TLC would say they...

What's in it for you if you stay with her? What are the downsides? What's in it for you if you leave her? What are the upsides? I don't see much upside in spending your life with someone who you say doesn't manifest love for you and who you don't feel friendly towards. Yes, you have kids, but...

Ry, I think I've gotten more benefit out of reading this thread and Matt's in the Relationships Corner and from thinking about what I've read in them (both written by y'all and by others) than I have from anything else in this forum. So thank-you for sharing, and I wish all of y'all the best.

Given that list of price tag items, I have to wonder whether or not the "primary" in this V does in fact view her husband's girlfriend as a "thing" to be endured/tolerated, not a person. We know that people sometimes lie (to themselves, their partners, or both) about their ok-ness with being in...

I didn't intend to endorse any religions or to say that "being interested" and "taking action" are the same thing, merely to point out that there are more than zero proponents for the idea that being interested is morally/ethically the same thing as actually taking action to make those thoughts...

Unfortunately, there are some widely-practiced religions that teach we are accountable for our thoughts and desires. For example, I remember when I was a kid getting dragged to church every Sunday, having to recite the same prayer: "And I confess to the Lord our God, and to you, my brothers and...

Hi, Lemondrops. I think you've said two things there that bother you: 1) the idea of your boyfriend with other partners, and 2) what you perceive as your boyfriend obsessing about polyamory and (I assume) by extension neglecting you. The rest of your post seems to me to deal with both things, so...

Not that this really matters, and OKCupid's workings may have changed since I disabled my account two years ago, but it used to be that "available" was how it automatically listed anyone who identified themself as "married" or "seeing someone" on one multiple-choice question and said they were...

One thing I've already figured out from a lot of the threads I've read here is that numbers aren't always the real issue. Seems a lot of threads have people asking for advice and getting solutions for problems that are the same as in monogamous relationships (e.g. having a...

Hi back at you from the same area. Although on account of the navy base, I usually just tell people I'm from "around Norfolk". They seem to understand that better. I take it from your husband using the term "Catholic guilt" you either remain or once were Catholic? I do believe in the...

I've had success searching for long-term girlfriends with it. It did always take me awhile, but that I think was more on account of who I am/who I appeal to, who appeals to me, and the population of where I was living. When I was in college, I had the same "matches as high as the low 80%s are...

The laddie doth protest too much? Could be. I've never been good at expressing my wants or even defining them to myself since wanting things has always seemed a good way to disappoint myself by not getting what I want while pissing people off by asking for it. So it's certainly possible I'm...

I don't have much to say on this forum, don't expect to ever have questions, but in case I ever do anything besides just lurk I decided to sign up. And so here's the long, rambling, emotionally-immature-enough-to-have-been-written-when-I-was-half-my-age introduction I wrote while I was bored...
