    Texting

    I usually just ask what the person likes. Me? I love getting texts and prefer to have a running conversation throughout the day if I can, or lots of little random conversations. But I'm forever extroverted and need that interaction to feel connected. One of my partners is very introverted and...

    Adventures of Amarna

    Update time: Turns out, music is my therapy. And drawing, I'm a repressed artist at heart, lol. I'm listening to a lot of old music that I used to love and fell away from lately. It's been helping me get in touch with who I once was. It's strange...knowing that you somehow, within the last...

    Children Of A Poly Relationship

    I've always had the policy of being honest with my kids. I don't see polyamory as anything to hide or shy away from. I'm a fan of age appropriate answers. In my opinion, if they ask, they are ready to know. I have a 5 year old and a 10 year old. My five year old knows that I have...

    Components of a successful “STI Risk/Safe Sex” conversation?

    I think everything you're asking there is very sensible. I think it's important to be clear about pregnancy stuff/birth control from the get go as well as STI/STDs and testing expectations. The only other thing I talk about with partners early on is hashing out what we'd each like to be told...

    sorry, I only want your wife

    I agree with this. I also tend to be pretty blunt and don't like to chance that something could be misinterpreted at all so like to make things very clear.

    Intimacy/commitment/passion

    Commitment, for me, is something that varies as to what it means for each relationship and comes with time as a relationship grows. It is possible to have all three with multiple relationships from my experience and I do tend to desire all three from my partners eventually. If I grow close...

    How much do you expect a partner to tell you when they begin a new relationship?

    I tell my partners early on about any other relationship that I have. If I go on a date with someone new they know, if things transition into something serious they know, if I am fluid bonded with them and want to do so with someone else they know. If they ask how things are going with another...

    How to meet people at work / how to make friends over 30

    I'm going to go ahead and agree with those who have said that work is likely not the best place to look for partners or try to search for close friends. Do you have hobbies or interests? Most of the friends that I have are ones that were met in groups or at events related to interests that we...

    What do you do about Valentine’s Day?

    I've never been really big on Valentine's Day tbh. Last year both of my boyfriends and I sent Happy V-Day texts to each other and that was it. I'm still with one of them this year and expect much the same, lol. I'm seeing someone new this year though and I'm not sure how big he is on stuff...

    Adventures of Amarna

    I don't mind terribly but won't go into a ton of details because of the nature of things. Unfortunately I found out that my husband had been abusing our eldest daughter. Charges are currently being pressed. I will take a lot personally, I did because I wanted that family unit for my kids and...

    Are you an extrovery, introvert or ambivert?

    I selected introvert because that's what's closest of the available options. Have always called myself an extroverted introvert though.

    Wow. It's been awhile. Big big big changes and I'm feeling the need to chronicle it. Mechanic is out of the picture, as much as can be, hopefully forever. Abuse upon abuse, lies upon lies, hell after hell. Long story short: He's gone, minus some court drama. And I'm incredibly thankful...

    Coming out nerves

    Coming out can be hard for sure. When I told my mom I expected a big row, considering how conservative she can be with some social issues, but I was pleasantly surprised by how accepting she was. I mean, she wasn't jumping for joy or anything. But basically took a live and let live approach...
