Since we’re coming on to the end of 2012, I thought maybe a roundup of the most popular posts on the Polyamorous Misanthrope this year might be useful. The FAQ and About pages did show up in my stats’ top ten, but I hardly think they should count.\n<\/p>\n
10. No Seriously, I Really AM Polyamorous<\/a> \u2013 A reader wrote in asking what to do when her partner was hoping she’d grow out of being polyamorous.\n<\/p>\n 9. You Don’t Have to Do It<\/a> \u2013 For all that I am polyamorous and utterly happy as a poly person, it is not<\/em> for everyone! This article talks about reasons why you might or might not want to participate in a poly\/mono relationship.\n<\/p>\n 8.Overcoming Insecurities<\/a> — Derived from a kind prompt from a reader of the blog, who suggested, “How about some suggestions on working with your partner to overcome insecurities?”\n<\/p>\n 7. On Gaslighting<\/a> \u2013To spin The Prince up, gaslight him. He wrote an article about gaslighting and creeping concessions. (For the record, I did not coin the phrase. Chalk that up to a partner who is proud of his partner’s way with words).\n<\/p>\n 6. The Key Factor to Polyamory Relationship Success<\/a> \u2013 This is my personal favorite. It sometimes pisses people off. That’s not why it is my favorite. I like it because it distills some of my core beliefs about human development.\n<\/p>\n 5. Jealousy and Abandonment Issues in Polyamory<\/a> \u2013 Being poly doesn’t mean you’re not human. Humans sometimes feel insecure, jealous or what have you. We have to work on that.\n<\/p>\n 4. How to be Poly-Friendly<\/a> \u2013 An article by Pepper Mint. This also holds the record for the longest article on the blog!\n<\/p>\n 3. Love Has No Boundaries<\/a> \u2013 I asked the polyamory community a question, so the article’s popularity is either because the title has a fairly common keyword phrase in the title, or because the answers in the comments are Just That Good. (I think the latter).\n<\/p>\n
