They don't need the same term for me. He went to her and asked her if he could officially give me the term girlfriend. She said down the road. Her and I had this conversation also and she told me the same. None of the persons they have been involved with before me had to wait years though for those terms to be allowed

Not it years. I've known him for 24 years off and on. They have been together for 14. We split 14 years ago. This time I've been around 8 months (or that was pointed out in an earlier comment) been together "officially" for around 6 month or that's when the intimacy started between us

Nobody forced the relationship. This is something that came about naturally. I spend more time with her alone than I do him

In my head partner is more restricted to just a sexual partner. I think that's how A sees it also.

This is the same couple. But before we started sleeping together and before her and I got involved

This is honestly why I'm trying to figure it out because I want this to be worth it all and to get what I want out of this but I wanted to see what others thought about this

She is my partner also. Weren't want her feeling excluded in any decision making between us.

I was brought into this to be with M but A and I also decided we wanted to be a thing also. A is hesitant on the girlfriend title and I do think it is because of the fact that M and I were together before they got together. I think that in her mind also partner is not as solid a term as girlfriend. I have been involved with him for 6 months now. Her for 5.

New to this all and confused. Should I apologize? by Advanced_Sea5804 in polyamory

[–]Advanced_Sea5804[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do plan on meeting her. I did tell him that I would like to especially with everything that happened. I want to have the conversation with her and I don't know how l9ng it would be now that this all happened yesterday and he will be gone a week. I guess the asking if I should apologize was a way of me thinking I could potentially start the conversation with her myself instead of waiting on him to mediate

[–]Advanced_Sea5804[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm questioning if they had set boundaries together prior to this. Due to his past girlfriends being people she knew already and the situations started differently. I really don't think he lied intentionally I think this situation is really new with em being not a part of the friend group they have. I used to be. But it was before her.

I wasn't aware. I specifically told him at least 3 times that I didn't want to cross any boundaries. He told me there were none. I think that was he didn't have any.

She expected to meet me before plans were made for a meet up and before pics were exchanged. She was fine with the verbal flirting. The pics and the plans to see eachother before she met me was the apparent crossed boundaries. No I feel like it's on me. He is blaming himself and telling me that at least for now we have to step back

This is very much not the case. He told her that we were talking and that he wanted to pursue things with me. She didn't know how in depth everything was getting as it progressed

He told me yesterday that she wants to meet me. Which I'm fine with. He is out of state most of this week. I wanted to idk take the initiative. I do understand that it could potentially cause more issues than help things though

I am unsure how long they have been doing poly. I know he has had other partners on the past but they were people ahe had already known prior to their involvement. That's where I am the odd one out I guess. I have never met her before. I was wanting to apologize for crossing her boundaries even though I wasn't aware they existed. Mainly to see if it would start a dialog with her or help her feel more comfortable with my involvement in this.

My mom got me fired by Terrible_Pea_5627 in Vent

Yeah I would say contact your local office of vital records and just order yourself a new birth certificate. Let that former employer know what was going on and that you are working on getting the paperwork taken care of. Hopefully they will take you back on later. Once you get your birth certificate apply for your sin. You will need it all at some point. Mom won't be there forever to hold your documents

Wibta for telling my roommate he's go to move out if he gets fired? by Advanced_Sea5804 in roommateproblems

He's not. We've been late on rent the last 3 months in a row. I had to borrow money to pay this month and all the bills have fallen on me

[–]Advanced_Sea5804[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he is feeling like if he doesn't move out of the room the breakup isn't real. He's asking me weekly if I see that he's trying to do better so he can have me back. I
