Today was another surreal moment in my newish life as a member of a poly family. I was very annoyed (to put it lightly) about something Beloved was doing, and I wanted to have a talk with him about it. I called LP and the conversation went like this:
Me: LP, I'm really upset about something Beloved is doing, and he's coming over in the morning so I can talk to him about it. It has nothing to do with you, and I just wanted to let you know that, to reassure you.
LP: Well I'm not too happy with him, myself, right now.
Me: Uh-oh. It sounds like he's in dog house with both of us. I wonder if it's the same thing I'm upset about? I don't want to get into too many details, but it has to do with (-----).
LP: I'm upset about that too! He does that with me too! I'm about to have a talk with him about it now.
Me: Well put him on speaker phone then. I'll talk to him about it now.
And the two of us proceed to let him know our grievance together.
Beloved: I apologize to both of you, I won't do that again. Sheesh!
