I was raised Christian (of the non-denominational, megachurch variety, with a little evangelical thrown in), but I now identify as agnostic.

Thank you!

Sad and confused Things aren't quite so calm and happy today. Two things are kicking around in my head right now. The first is that A and I discussed polyamory for the first time. I was surprised and happy to hear that he had heard of the term--but then I was disheartened to discover that he...

Hello, and welcome to my blog! I’m planning to use this as a space to process all of the new information and emotions I’m discovering now that I’m in a relationship with a poly man. I’m hoping it will have a generally positive tone—but who’s to say? Until a couple of weeks ago, I had spent...

Thanks for the advice! He certainly does not treat me as a secondary in the sense that my needs are considered lesser. In fact, he’s constantly telling me that his wife and I are of equal importance to him, that I need to tell him if I need something more or different, and that it’s perfectly...

Hello. All of this is completely new to me, so please forgive what is bound to be an awkward post. I feel like I have a million questions, but this post may end up being more of a search for empathy. We’ll see… My story feels long and complicated, but the short version is that I am a recently...
