    Simultaneous NRE

    I'm so sorry to read about your troubles. It sounds like its been rough. I'm glad to hear in this last post that you are getting on with your life with friends, family and new prospects. Writing details and complicated emotions in public is hard to do without stalkers. I have firsthand...

    Just a little catch up; I have been welcoming a new woman into our midst, as PN has fallen in love and is head over heels for a married woman with two kids. His NRE has been a pain in my ass, as NRE usually is, but I am managing. He announced he wanted to leave our house and situation about...

    In the past weeks I must have written this three times. Really though, I am doing pretty good. :) Happy, healthy, enjoying my uncomplicated quiet life. I am not sure why I have struggled, but here it is, a post. It's been over a year since my life changed and I left the network of partners and...

    Oh wow, haven't you come full circle? ;) Yes, I think there is something to be said for that. Mono love is entirely different and just as valid. Poly love comes from a sense of separate, yet together. Mono comes from together, yet separate, I think... vaguely. They're different on the inside...

    Hello poly friends,:) A little catch up. I have been enjoying life and taking things as they come. Everything at the house is really good and we are all well settled. I enjoy each day and have no complaints about our new arrangements. We continue to make plans, live each day in our usual...

    Just a hello update. AJ is picking up LB tomorrow and making dinner for our family! Feeling so loved by my long-time friend. :) On another note: I'm feeling quite forgotten today. It's amazing how people leave your life and don't look back when you make choices they don't understand and judge...

    Saturday morning; Mono and PN are out picking up wood to make raised beds in the vegetable garden. LB and I are preparing for his friend to come over for the night. I sit in the sun with the coffee Mono brought me and think about Brad coming home from his holidays today, AJ (my ex-wife) coming...

    The Movie Her

    It was too long for me. I loved the story, but they could've cut out the romance part a bit more and it would've been just as good. As for the poly bit, he wasn't able to handle such extensive love and she didn't explain it well enough. She said love is expansive. Got that right, but whoever...

    Redpepper's journey

    Over the holiday season, LB and PN had an accident in the family car. It was totaled. They were okay, but the car was a write-off. We got some insurance money for it and spent the holidays looking for a car. Mono and I were home with LB most of the season, as PN didn't get time off work, so we...

    I'm deriving much comfort from this blog again. :) I attempted to save it all on my computer, as I was going to delete it. Then I had a crisis about it disappearing and now I think I'm at a place where I don't care. I just keep thinking of stuff to write and stuff to let go by doing so. I miss...

    Hi! Great to hear from you. I hope you are well. :) PN is well enough. It's been interesting, in that sex and intimacy has been off the table, but life went on similarly. Sometimes he and I struggle with moving on, as my stuff is in his room and we share everything still. It will be awhile...

    I just had a fantastic lunch with Ken. Remember him? He pointed out it's been almost two years since he and I spent time alone together. Back then, it was because he'd begun dating my monogamous co-worker who I thought would struggle with our connection. Now it's because he started dating...

    Better today. Love is love. I overthink things. I will continue to be loving and express love when it comes up and let it go. I can only be me.

    Hi, Arrowbound. Thanks for writing. :) I'm struggling with the true fact that I love people. For some reason I feel really guilty about it, and shame for having strong emotional attachments. I love my Mono. We have been really happy together. Our lives have settled, mostly, and our family...

    Redpepper's journey

    I just dropped Mono off at his favourite place to drink a coffee before he goes to the companion job he has with a woman of 95. I'm freaking out a little. I'm not sure why, as things have settled between us and, for the most part, I have stopped looking for signs of deceit. I went into the...

    Hello :) Here's an update.... I had a birthday yesterday. It was a very special one to me. Sure, all birthdays are special, but when I remember where I was last year at this time I realize how far I have come and just how much happened this year. Last year at this time I was sitting in the...
