    I've gotten a second wind!

    Well, we've gotten a reprieve. Main Squeeze was called in for a job today, which is good news. I know he's really worried about his job situation. I was looking forward to seeing him today, but I also feel a little bit relieved. We had a nice text convo this morning, which is surprising and...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    So, I really like my main squeeze, A LOT, but I'm worried he's not gonna work out. 😟 I'm feeling compelled to write about him today because I'm going to see him tomorrow and I want to be able to write about him while he's still in play. Will be too sad to have to introduce him as the guy I...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    Thanks, Halcyeus! I'm always excited to see what's around the corner. 🙈 Hey, PinkPig, I don't see a blog for you. If you start one, I'd love to read! The sex stuff is wild, huh?!!! lol My ex and I pretty much never had a good sex life until the last year (and I gotta say it seemed a...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    So, I've been doing a lot of dating since my marriage ended. And I've dated all kinds of people, some that have been really shocking to me. I had a short fling with a 26 year old surgeon; an insanely fun, passionate, loving friendship with a pornographer; a sweet and very sexy envelope pushing...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    So, those couple of things were... That I was having a really odd relationship with a guy who was almost 20 years younger than me. I was crazy over him, though a little weirded out by the age difference. But he was doing this thing where he'd get closer and closer and spend more and more time...

    I've gotten a second wind!

    For a long time I was feeling like I wanted to really dive into this poly journey (pacience is not my strong point), but was stuck in something that looked more like common dating. And then a few days ago I realized that, in fact, there are now three people that I've been dating for a while and...

    New to this

    Welcome, Gran! I'm also single (fresh out of a 25 year marriage), 45, and just getting started on this road. It will be interesting to compare notes. ☺️ For me, things started out looking and feeling more like normal dating than polyamory, but I have picked up a couple of keepers, I think...

    Christ, that's awful. I'm so sorry. I hope you have a good support system there. Gah!

    Just starting to explore

    I've been noticing this, too, and I'm feeling kind of horrified by it, I think because my husband did something similar while I was pregnant with our first child 13 years into our relationship. For me it was such a vulnerable time and I felt like he waited to spring it all on me until I was...

    New poly-relationship has me in crisis!

    Hi, Danielson. This is my first post here but I started reading this thread a while back. I'm wondering (and I'm sorry if this was addressed several pages ago) if you have had other lovers before your marriage (I know you were her first...) and also whether you have any interest in becoming...

    So.......OKCupid

    Well, I live in southern california and I find it to be such a breath of fresh air when I run into a woman who doesn't seem to spend all of her energy on putting herself together. I (quite intentionally) live in the one neighborhood in town where people tend to go make-up-less and wear pajamas...

    So.......OKCupid

    I have the same problem w wanting to get on with things, and feeling frustrated w the pace of messaging. As time has gone on I've started trusting my instincts more and just blurting out "let's have coffee" or whatever way earlier. I think the endless texting can be fun w the right person, but...

    So.......OKCupid

    Someone on this forum recommended okc to me a while back and I have been having a blast meeting people and some of them have stuck. 😍 One thing about your profile... It might be easier to think of it as a work in progress. You can start short and simple and then fill stuff in as you figure...

    poly-curious!

    Hi, MiddleGirl! And thanks for the nice welcome! :) And, thanks, NYC. I agree, it is kind of hard to let go of some emotional habits. I've been looking at matchdotcom a lot the last few days (bc I have to pay them for the next 57 days whether I want to or not, sigh) and everyone there seems...

    poly-curious!

    I've read a few of the intros here and feel like I have something in common with all of them! Maybe I'm at the right place. :) My husband of 25 years left me pretty suddenly seven months ago and before that, of course, I hadn't given any thought to being with anyone other than him. But since...
