So...I didn't get into the grad school program I applied for. :( This put me in a pretty bad place. I found out yesterday. I just feel like a total loser right now and completely lost as to what I do next. My sister was great in talking with me about it and was her usual, wonderful, helpful...

The kids are off school today: Snow day. And....I can't find the shovel! I had stood it up right beside the front door but I'm thinking it either fell down or Mechanic moved it somewhere. So...digging through the snow I go to find the thing so I can actually shovel the front steps and...

I'm pretty open about being polyamorous. My friends are few and pretty close so I knew that they wouldn't have an issue with it, one is polyamorous herself. I just waited for a good place in casual conversation to mention something about a new partner or polyamory and it felt like a pretty...

Ok...so...not too much going on but I think I want to make a regular effort to post on here again. It's cathartic to get my thoughts down, even if there's not too much that needs processing right at the moment, lol. All this snow. It's driving me crazy. I'm so incredibly ready for spring...

I had a job interview today. A part time museum gig. I don't know...I don't feel like I did all that well. I have social anxiety and interviewing is one of those things that's really challenging for me. At my worst I've sometimes skipped out on interviews completely due to panic attack...

Wow! It's literally been months. Time for an update I feel, and I just kinda need to process some things in a safe place. I'll call D "Nerd"from now on, less confusing than letters I feel and it's an affectionate thing we call each other so it fits. :) Things are going well with him, no...

She runs a girl scout troop and that's the night of the week they meet and she's an hour away from where we're meeting so I'm not sure if that would be feasible. Otherwise I totally would, but I could always extend the invite anyway, it can't hurt. :)

Thank you Kevin, I think that too from time to time but on the other hand my husband has had other partners including a present girlfriend whom he's been seeing about a month at this point. He has actually suggested a meeting with her already but has yet to set it up. So...I'm confused as to...

Hello all! It's been awhile since I last logged in here but I've got a situation and could use some suggestions. My husband will be meeting my partner of 4 months in a few days. My partner is also bringing along another partner of his for me to meet. We've planned a double coffee date thing...

Lots has been going on and I'm way overdue for an update here. Things with D are going super well. I'm happy with where things are with him. Things have even improved with Mechanic a bunch and I'd say we're in a better place than we've been in years. BUT things with Gamer have pretty much...

I buy whatever kind I like and make sure to have one on me if I'm going out on a date. All my partners have been prepared with their own of the brand/style that they prefer and are happy to supply them too. If it was a problem of cost I wouldn't mind paying for them though.

What makes people think this is even a remotely good way to approach someone? The stellar message: "Yum"

So I've talked a bit more with both Mechanic and D and am feeling a bit better. I'm at least done with self-loathing. In other news...told my mother about being polyamorous. I just didn't have the energy to lie and felt bad about lying by omission. She wasn't thrilled and said that morally...

Ugh! So last night's date with D was pretty much a disaster. :( It started out really really well, we made dinner together, cuddled and watched a movie and then started making out. And then got completely carried away and had unprotected sex. *headdesk* I immediately felt super intense...

So, thought I'd login again finally and give an update. It's been sometime and I just had to take a break from a lot of online stuff to focus on relationship stuffs at home. Things with Mechanic are...okay...we're working through things. He's started therapy and it seems to be helping him...

Well, Mechanic and I have told our parents about the problems in our relationship and the break we are taking. My parents are actually being wonderfully supportive to both of us, something I was not expecting and have said they will support us in anyway possible. Mechanic's mom and dad are a...

Haha, well I see you're on post #669 now so presumably you managed to heroically defeat the beast. :P

So, this weekend has been crazy busy! I decided to take the kids to a somewhat local comic-con on Saturday and we spent the day there, Mechanic came along too and it went well enough, we're pretty good at doing the family stuff together still and it was a great day for the girls in particular...

Thank you! I will definitely be checking out all of those resources now that I'm done with a hectic weekend. I hope your BLOODY ARSEHOLE of a laptop starts to behave itself soon. :)

I did end up telling Gamer today during our daily text check in session what's been going on: the gaslighting, taking a break in a relationship with Mechanic, etc. He was fantastic as usual. Reassured me that I am not an idiot, that it's all too easy to fall for and believe the things that...
