    DAG is home now. After 3 months of being on the opposite coast, taking care of his family business, he came home two days ago. I have been anxious about his return, as within those 3 months, I have settled in to my own routine. Now I have a good idea of what military spouses go through when...

    It seems someone thought 'unicorn' was too soft, so they had to butch it up. lol

    Glossary and Definitions

    I heard a new one today: Dragon In a brief google search, evidently it applies to a bi-sexual male, for which an established couple is looking. Does anyone have any additional information on the definition of a dragon?

    An apology. All it took was an apology. And it made all the difference in the world. DAG has been with his mother in another state for almost 2 months. I traveled to see him and stayed with him for a week. It's been tough, but we've been doing very well with communicating with texts, phone...

    Irony Is Dead

    So I had a dinner date with Gerry, a new friend I connected with during Teach's cabin trip. He and I have been texting fairly regularly, just to keep in touch. He happened to be in town for 24 hours starting Monday, so I met him for dinner. He and his partner are practicing polyam and we've...

    So DAG and I are dealing with a family situation with his mom. She is in the hospital and he is with her to ensure she is taken care of and handling her financials while she is in the hospital. I am flying out later next week to be with him, help out and be his support system. He has been away...

    Recovery from toxic metamour: advice to keep relationship going?

    This sounds vaguely familiar. If only I could think of who else had issues with establishing strong boundaries. Their names are on the tip of my tongue, but they escape me. Who am I fooling, it's DAG and me. kittykate, welcome back and glad to know your relationship with your partner has...

    Mags, not that I have confirmation, but in recent actions by Teach, he seems more intent on finding a relationship for himself than trying to seriously connect with DAG and I. He and DAG still have a strong emotional connection, but the contact between Teach and I has diminished somewhat...

    I expect the home study to trip us up, if we fess up to being poly, no matter how short lived. Congrats on having successful adoptions! I am sure you were heartbroken with the offers stopped. My heart goes out to you!

    BB, we have suspended any poly activity for now and the foreseeable future. DAG is not actively looking for any new relationships right now and honestly, I am not looking for anything new either. The new guy came out of the blue, but I only want a friendship with him. Thank you for the info...

    An update: Nothing has moved forward with Teach. I am not sure what is going on with him. We're not pursuing anything with him until he approaches us about forming a throuple. Since he admitted to having feelings for DAG and I, he's been quiet. I hope there is more to come from him about this...

    Irony Is Dead

    Fallout (yes, I had to make that reference, lol) from Teach's birthday cabin trip. First, some background. DAG and I have talked about including a third in our life. We never really pursued it, as there hasn't been anyone in our life which we would seriously consider including. A few months...

    These were the best of times and the worst of times. First, the best. Teach's birthday party at the wooded cabin was a blast! All twelve of us got along great. There weren't even any shenanigans, at least not in front of others. DAG and I did not have sex (like I had hoped) even though I asked...

    Another milestone for me. I asked DAG for something I want and he agreed to it. That in of itself isn't big news, but this is: I asked DAG to give me consideration if someone on this cabin trip wants (and asks for) sex with DAG. I want him to think about, and ask, me if I want to have sex...

    As mentioned above, DAG and I have been invited to Teaches birthday party at a cabin in the mountains. I am really looking forward to it. There will be a couple of other couples and some singles (to add to the fun, one of the couples is practicing ENM). Just so I am clear, this will be a large...

    Teach is having a 50th birthday year party. Yeah, all year long. Anyway, as stated above, he invited DAG and I to a long weekend at a cabin in the mountains. Seven people in all have been invited. I am really looking forward to it. Teach and I still have a good friendship. He and I have not...

    Irony Is Dead

    Teach showed up over the US holiday weekend. It was a short notice trip, but fortunately, DAG and I were around to host him. Another good visit between Teach and I. He told me that he considers DAG and I to be in his inner circle of friends. The fact that he considers me to be a close friend...

    I thought more about what I wrote in yesterday's post. I realize I made some assumptions about DAG's and Teach's relationship, which shouldn't have been made. There isn't any solid evidence that they'll have sex. They want it, and I heard it from them both. DAG and I still have the 'no sex...

    Yesterday was a double whammy of...interesting things. First, DAG flew home from his trip over the holidays. It was really good to see him and we had some sexual contact for the first time in a year. We missed each other a great deal, but no lie, I enjoyed having a week to myself to do what I...
