The move is behind us....

Well, we made it, and I see I have been logged in since the last time I checked in a week ago! LOL When we left 'Bama last week Friday, we had torrential rain and tornadoes; our yard turned into a giant mud pit; Bud got stuck in the yard, and threw so much mud up on the car, we had to stop in town to wash windows so he could see where the heck he was going!

We only made it 60 miles the first night, and then didn't get a lick of sleep! Made it to the half-way point on...

Question!

feeds@yuku.com (ali83) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 08:59:59 GMT

So, I've asked several people this question already but I've decided to open it up to the board. It's something that ever poly family/couple/single anyone entering poly had asked themselves at one point or another. But I guess I'm especially curious to those who live it, and deal with it on a daily basis. So here it is.

When you're out let say anywhere, at the grocery store... and you're all shopping together and you run into someone (maybe just an...

Triad Sex: Need To Hear All Opinions!

feeds@yuku.com (julie38) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:15:45 GMT

Hello all!

I have a question about sexual intimacy within a triad that I would like to hear everyone's views on (husband, femme, 2nd/3rd/4th/etc wife, potentials, singles).

Do you feel that, in a triad, sexual intimacy should only be experienced with all three all the time or no sexual intimacy at all? Or do you feel that sexual intimacy should be allowed to occur between two of the three members at times (for instance, when the other is not home, is...

You will face your fears

I wanted to post here, because this is the most important lesson I've learned in going through dating someone and things not working out like I thought they would and trying to find closure. You will face all of the fears you have left in your closet. I mean, stuff has come up for me all through this adventure, and it's kind of surprised me how much old baggage I had in there that still needed to be worked on! Lots of stuff about my mother, and old patterns in my life that I thought...

Poly Retreat

feeds@yuku.com (BeStrong) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:31:15 GMT

The next retreat is scheduled for the first weekend after the Christmas break in the north Georgia/South Carolina mountains. The retreat will be in the area where GA/SC/NC are touching at a location with cabins and a big conference type of area. The group that organizes is a Christian based group, non denominational, so there will be some singing, worshipping, etc. but the emphasis is on polygamous marriage, with small group settings for the women and men. This is NOT a swinging or hook up...

Different religions

feeds@yuku.com (DreamGyrl360) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:42:47 GMT

A family has very orthodox religious beliefs/observances. The husband starts to court a woman who is not of the same religious beliefs. While they all like her, the wives are concerned that the potential *may* not want to do all the things they do, spiritually. What, if anything, could that do to a family unit, if everyone else is participating in something but the other wife is off doing her own thing?

How would you feel if you were one of the existing wives and this woman may not...

New Jersey... NY tri-state area!

feeds@yuku.com (Vmunchie) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:42:18 GMT

Moderators please move this to a more appropriate place if this is not the correct place for it.. I just have now idea of where to put it!
I've been in touch with poly people for over two years now and I have yet to meet a poly couple from NJ or the NY tri-state area. I meet a lot of polyamory people here, but not polygamy couples from here..

Can anyone shed a light?? I don't want to do the long distance thing again.. that did not end well for me!

Thanks in...

Emotional Literacy: it's Essential!

feeds@yuku.com (Deorccwen) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:18:43 GMT

Something that's fairly common in Western cultures is the assumption that women are supposed to do all the emotional housework in a relationship. A woman is supposed to be understanding, recognise what the heart of the issue is in an argument and be able to fix all emotional problems, even if the man in her life is emotionally illiterate.
