A rather excellent post for authors on how to write convincing poly relationships.

There is a wealth of information in links at the end -- and it's a great central place to send people who are looking for some Poly 201-level information (because she's talking about how real relationships work, in order to write them well, and the linked articles are all about real-life polyamory. I particularly liked "From two to three: Advice on opening up from an HBB".)

I can't believe some of the stuff on here...but yes, I've heard almost all of it somewhere :D

Dissatisfied tonight. Not sure why. Feel unaccomplished. Sometimes my path on this poly journey seems two steps forward and one step back.

Today I do not want to share. At all.

I am having huge issues with jealousy, made more intense because of the feelings I have about my metamour.

I feel as though my metamour doesn't respect me or the relationship I have with our common partner. I have tried to be friendly/make friends with my metamour because it makes things easier on our partner and because my metamour and I share many common interests, but she has been less willing to be friendly.

There has been a couple of interactions that I consider to be deliberately obstructive (sending only the flight information I need to get our partner to the airport on time and deleting the other information from the airline, only contacting me when a scheduled visit is approaching, etc.) and I am beginning to feel betrayed that our partner would continue the relationship considering how my metamour is treating me.

I would like any words of wisdom, resources, etc.

Thank you.

I appreciate that it's not all about "couples with secondaries" and that it has positive things to say about poly parenting -- I thought this was a balanced, accurate, and positive portrayal of how many poly people live :)

Activists throw the biggest poly convention anywhere yet. A major newspaper analyzes the poly movement at length for a million readers. And read all about the first polyamory-themed series on mainstream TV, with the community’s strong and divergent reactions to it.

On ABC’s 20/20, eight adults and three kids face down an incredulous anchor and show millions what a happy poly network of families can look like. Gay triads stir heated reactions. Poly-friendly psychology professionals stage a breakthrough. Atlanta Poly Weekend. Poly Party Weekend. And do radicals take to poly especially well?
