Ah, Onyx. Onyx is someone DAG met online a few years ago, and we met in person in 2017. He is a good man (at least that's whats been presented to me). DAG has been texting back and forth with him over the three years, and he came to our house in August to attend an event in the city. While...

And now this: Apparently DAG and Bruiser are on the outs. Also, DAG and Fisticuffs relationship isn't doing too well either. Not sure if I should post up what are the issues (they are remarkably similar in both relationships), but if I'm asked nicely, I will. I hesitate to post, because it...

And so it goes... DAG has opened up to me about his relationships with Fisticuffs and Bruiser. Evidently, both had a falling out with DAG. Something about DAG saying one thing, and doing something else. DAG has not done that with me. With me, he's always done what he has said he was going...

I had a break through last week with DAG and he gave me more information about Bruiser. I didn't have any closure regarding Bruiser. I sent an apology to them, and they never acknowledged receipt. The only way I knew Bruiser received receipt was through DAG. That was over three months ago...

I have issues with communicating. I have tried to resolve these issues, but I still come up short. When there is an issue between me and DAG, I clam up. I don't address or respond to issues immediately, when they appear. I keep telling DAG that I will work on my communication skills, but...

I had a lunch date with Geyser this past Sunday. It was fantastic!! I finally was able to eat at an actual restaurant. That alone was worth it! We had a great discussion about my relationship with DAG. While I wanted to have a discussion about my relationship with them, I didn't want to...

Our (DAG and my) relationship is in a really bad place right now. I have been really short with DAG the past few days, and I've been doing some soul searching to understand why. On the surface, DAG has a matter-of-fact way of responding to people, or stating anything, without having (at least...

Thank you GG. I got to know them well enough. And I felt comfortable enough in their presence until it was time for them to leave. Not that I thought they would pull a dangerous stunt, but the situation got really awkward at the end of their stay. But who knows about the next one? I intend...

Last night, I experienced an emotion tied to an experience which I have never felt before. Onyx has stayed a couple of days longer than the other guests. Last night, the three of us were on the couch, watching TV. DAG and Onyx were cuddled up, and while I was on the couch, I was near them...

I thought about that, but initially rejected it. But now I see the benefit. That group is not that active, and again, many postings are introductions from other couples (Hi! We're (fill in the blank) and thank you for adding us to the group!) It's not like I would really be missing anything...

What a busy weekend. This is another post which deserves it's own spot on the Ostrich Hall Of Fame. It has been officially confirmed. DAG feeds off of conflict. He loves it. It gives him energy. It brings him closer to people. Drama makes him happy. It's another core element of him. He...

I think it's because it could lead to something bad. They are strangers, based on the word 'strange', which could lead to, well, strangeness. Anything good or bad could come of out what I consider to be a very risky roll of the dice. Sometimes he really seems blithe to any possible negative...

So this is something else that happened during the weekend. DAG and I are members of a private couples group on Facebook. Neither of us have any real interaction with that group, as it's mostly introductions to new members, and little else. Until this weekend. Someone in the group posted up...

So this past weekend went really well. Broadway came with a friend, GA showed up solo, Onyx drove in with their dog and even Hyundai showed up. I cooked up a nice dinner, and with alcohol, everyone had a fun evening, until Broadway's friend decided to start in on Hyundai. Fun times!! Hyundai...

It's Around The Corner An update. DAG and I are readying the house for the guests. Broadway and GA are still coming for the event. Another person, Onyx, will be arriving as well, along with their dog. I am nervous about any hint of COVID infection, but have confirmed all guests have...

I know I am dredging up an old thread, but after reading through it, I saw someone had the idea of new members of the board provide answers to the questions, just to gauge where they are. It would be interesting to repeat this exercise in a few years to see if progress, or regress, has...

I gave myself this moniker, as one of my meta's told my husband that my head was in the sand regarding my husband's relationship with them. I'll own it. I almost went with Ostrich the A***ole, but thought that might be too strong. I have been told by another on this board that I'm not an...

Good for you. If you haven't done so already, then I suggest you block them. I have been in the same boat. I unfriended one meta, and deleted my friend request to another meta. By doing so, it has made my life less stressful. Also, I feel you regarding the passing along of invites. My...

Geyser Update Nothing new on that front. We still chat, but haven't seen each other in person since the day they came over for a visit. I am not sure when the next visit will occur. I've asked them to meet me at the supermarket, but we haven't decided on a day or time. While I know COVID...

Magdlyn, thank you for the clarification. It's interesting how there are fine differences in relationships within the poly community. I need to get used to that. The more I am exposed to different ideas, the more I see how wide ranging the poly community is. I wish DAG and I had several...
