Partner 2, could still be hooking up with peolle

No, it really isn’t. But keep in mind that people change over time. The worst is when your stable monogamous relationship isn’t sustainable after a certain amount of time. It happens. Then you need to move on. It’s no different from straight relationships, really.

Quick question? Why does "open relationship, polyamory and multiple sex partnership" situations always have to be first and foremost in our relationships? Why is monogamy so unattractive? Why do I have to accept or be with a partner that everyone else is touching? Wait ....I'm insecure for this thought?

It isn’t. But I’m no saint.

It is, and maintaining one is even harder.

For sure it's not easy. I was a lucky person to find mine. But our relationship isn't perfect even now. But core values and both of us working at our relationship is important. 2 non perfect, not always stable people who are absolutely there for each other, building in spite of our set of challenges.

A/S/L?

Yes it is. I would like one,but having to sift through games,I want my cake and eat it too,alternatives to my already alternative lifestyle, the remote seems to be my best option. 😆

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?
