I'm totally poly --I just don't trust any woman who might want a relationship with my man!"

Ohhhh, this woman; she's a problem ( ... )

This list seems to point out that she has a poor idea of where the boundary between her husband and herself lives. Most of these are stuff I would consider, if they were a violation of anyone's boundaries, a violation of her husband. Her trying to enforce them in itself feels like a violation to me and squicks me.

Yeah, no kidding. Her idea of a 'wifely role' apparently includes editing his online profile.

And people wonder why I say having a poly-expert community would be a bad thing...

vrimj June 15 2009, 15:11:11 UTC

Actually it would be wonderful if you could lure all the "poly experts" to their own community. I would be willing to sockpuppet problems to them to keep them properly fed if we are gonna try caging them...

cuddlycthulhu June 15 2009, 15:13:19 UTC

The problem though with such a community is that tactic wouldn't work. Anyone posting a problem there is obviously not an expert as "poly-experts" already know everything and thus have no problems.

But surely they will want questions to show off their expertise. . . What if you changed the name to ""Ask the Poly Experts?"

Do you think she's earned her own tag yet?

I mean between publicly flouncing and then trying to tip-toe back in when she thought no one was looking *and* trying to earnestly purport that she is the Queen of All Proper Poly Procedure, she's certainly headed in that direction.

Where did she try to tiptoe back in? What did I miss?

Sounds like my first marriage.

Y'know, Gwendolyn1964 may be a major asshat, but the OP was talking about having NRE with this guy she's never actually had a date with, just hallways passings and they "spent time together recently". And that's just a skosh unaware.

It actually hinges on why I dislike the term NRE. She thinks they have a "relationship" when what they have is a "flirtation". (Why oh why are "crush" and "infatuation" not good enough anymore?)
