Hi Breathemusic, thanks for replying! We should have no problem having enough one-on-one time. My meta will be staying somewhere else during my whole trip, and I could spend the entire trip without seeing her if that's what I wanted. But I want to get to know her and to spend time with the...

My partner of 8 years and I are living on different coasts right now, and he started dating someone new this year. She and I have met once, texted a lot, and talked on the phone a few times. She seems great—smart, funny, interesting, and she has a lot of experience in polyamory. She has told me...
