I had a dream that Boy, little girl, and I visited his parents. Boy and LG were playing in the forest, sunshine beaming through, just being their adorable selves as his mom and I watched from the back porch. She makes a comment about how good he is with her. I say he would have made a great dad...

Oh my, life is good. The summer of vacations is going so well. Just finalized dates for another one next month. Hubby and I will be celebrating our anniversary, we will do a family thing, then Boy and I will be celebrating his birthday. I'm so happy to have fun things planned with each of them...

What the heck is "courtship phase" though? That is not terminology used where I am which is why I asked what it means. You seem very focused on childhood trauma. Are you okay? Do YOU have trauma you're dealing with and hope that by sharing the prevalence, you can find others to share with...

But were you in a relationship? By "courting" I assume the getting to know/feeling out compatibility stage, not an actual full blown relationship. I don't ghost people I actually know well. I send a "this isn't going to work because of" and list the reasons then if they are drama causers block...

My parents are the type to keep people in their lives no matter what. I grew up seeing people take advantage or disappear/come back repeatedly or be unhealthy in other ways and my parents just... accept it? Try to talk about it occasionally? "Forgive and forget" repeatedly? I made a decision...

Much like icesong, my partners and I are frequently FUNCTIONALLY closed (not actively dating and there are only 3 of us) but we are all always THEORETICALLY open (open to new connections). Occasionally one of us will go on a few dates, but it has been... Two and a half years? I think?... since...

Thank you all for the kind thoughts ☺️ I've been chatting with someone who is SO not my romantic/relationship type but would be fun for something short term/casual. She's totally on the same page about it, too. Fingers crossed! I hope your date goes well!

I'm another year older. Uneventful birthday as usual, but I got some amazing gifts from my loves. I've been consistently losing weight as well. My libido is insane so I've been flirting on dating apps even though I really don't have time for that shit. I'd make time for the right woman, though.

I know a lot of open/polyamorous people who get legally married because it's so much easier to get health benefits, tax breaks, etc with the paperwork done. Marriage has a lot of issues beyond its rooted history in the patriarchy, perpetuating gender roles, etc. I think it's totally valid to...

Agreed! And lots of opportunities to explain your own dynamic if provided terms don't apply.

Oh, gosh, people... Hubby's bosses are trying to convince us not to move in the next year or so (plan was start looking for new jobs next summer, move when found). I don't really care for the town we live in. Very republican. I'd love to move somewhere more liberal. There are good people here...

Why are you dating this guy then?

There are so many different ideologies under the umbrella of polyamory that I don't understand this boundary, personally. Say Amy dates Ben. Ben identifies as poly but is a strict relationship anarchist or parallel poly type and has no interest in meeting, hanging out with, or relating in any...

It is definitely a step in the right direction! Hopefully it continues and becomes the norm instead of the exception. I'm feeling relieved. Shred of faith in humanity preserved!

If it's a TIA instead of a full stroke, there often aren't any noticeable symptoms once it's over (other than fatigue, but even that isn't guaranteed). It can be a sign of future risk of stroke or other issues though. Seizures are no joke, I'd think his care team would want to do a ct.

I keep refreshing my tab with the cnn coverage of the chauvin trial. My last shred of faith in humanity is hopeful for justice. The pit in my stomach is not hopeful at all.

I've been quietly reading this thread from the get go but not had anything meaningful to add. To me, though, it seems @straighthusbandbiwife is seeking a poly group that will agree with him then gets mad/leaves the conversation when poly folks don't completely agree that he's right for his...

That's what we got. I'm obsessed with it. Lol It's similar to this (but is a bit bigger and was more expensive, but Boy is picky so we bought in person at a local sporting goods store: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B078BYGWB6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_FDD86K5AV4BSVBV1FZB9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1...

I vote sleeping bag. If it gets cool at night, the air in the air mattress will also be cool. Sleeping bag will keep you warm on all sides, not just on top. Boy and I just got a set that can be used as two oversized single bags or one together that is about a queen size. It's big enough for two...

I ended up not feeling well so Boy does not have a garden yet. Oh well. We have a bit of time before last frost anyway so pretty limited on what we could put in. I booked weekend getaways for both my guys. I'm pretty excited. Picked something Hubby has been wanting to do for a couple of years...
