I definitely don't think this is true of him in regards to me, as my humanity seems to be part of what he likes the most about me. I'm not sure about other women though. Definitely he has a history of, in his wild band touring days, viewing women as objects and something to "score." He seems to...

Yeah, I guess because this forum is a poly forum, that particular sentiment might not be echoed here much. To be completely frank, I think it is because he (while he might be capable of sexual non-exclusivity and has cheated in the past) is fundamentally romantically monogamous and would prefer...

I think, actually, that his concept of it is more like this, based on what he'd said at the time: There are no male/female friendships where there is no attraction on either side. To pursue a friendship, at least one of the people is attracted to the other one, and would have sex with them if...

Another thing that has been rattling around in my brain from last night: There was a moment, in passing, while cuddled up in bed, when Dustin said something along the lines of (and I wish I could remember whether this was the exact wording or not): "Before I met you, I hated women." And I...

No real time to post much. The short version is that Sunday night honky-tonk with Dustin was great. Monday night I split time between the boys, doing happy hour with Dustin and the rest of the evening with Rider, and that was pretty good too, though Rider and I got into some heavy-but-necessary...

The Vegas thing is extra scary to me, having just come from a music festival and with Dustin's band having shouted that particular festival out (without news reaching us yet) from the stage last night. I was all prepared to type up a post about my night and about an interesting...

This weekend has been interesting, another mixed bag. I'm typing this from a restaurant's bar, while waiting for a meal I'm treating myself to: vegetarian ravioli and a cheese plate. Rider is still at the festival. So Friday evening, Rider picked me up, and my royalty check had arrived, and it...

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I will definitely bring them up to him! :)

Last night was great—but with a splash of unexpected (and frankly kind of hilarious) physical pain. Dustin picked me up from work, and we were finally going on that hike he'd been meaning to take me on forever, the one he'd said is a great workout and would kick my ass. I'd had my doubts about...

I can totally relate. I fantasize nearly daily about dropping out of my life and running off to live a life of minimalism under a bridge somewhere—and I have a job that is ostensibly related to my interests and talents. I'm not AFRAID of hard work, and I do work myself to the bone when...

Last night at the hippie event Dustin was playing, there was free alcoholic kombucha. I stupidly assumed it was probably about the same ABV as a cider or something, so I had two and a half. I got accidentally drunk! There was no working on my laptop on his couch. I dropped our baguette twice...

I just got out of a meeting in which a bunch of one of my bosses' work got dumped on my lap (with a short deadline) because he's leaving town at the end of the week and he's behind and it needs to get done. I guess my night with Dustin is going to involve laptop time. Fan-fucking-tastic. Also...

( . . . continued from previous) And so things felt resolved after that. I'd been wondering for a long time why Rider never seemed to believe me anymore when I told him I truly did enjoy hanging out with him and I was not all distracted by Dustin when we were together. Because it'd come up...

The rest of my birthday was OK. It had its high points, but also its lows. I got home from work, hoping to have a disco nap, but was instead compelled to clean because Rider lets the house fall into disarray when I am gone. The bunny box needed emptying (my fault for being gone, since I am...

Wow, that is so the perfect word! Because I was pondering the other day how I am actually almost never specifically bored—I'm always too damned busy and have 10 other things I could even be doing or even just pondering!—but I do easily get existentially life-bored. And I was wondering how to...

Happy birthday to meeee! (And to my mom—I was born on her 20th!) So, Dustin's surprise ended up being taking me to Medieval Times! I love dorky ren fair type stuff so this was right up my alley. He got the photo package and VIP seating and everything. It was pretty cool except I did feel bad...

(. . . continued from previous) Dustin woke me up around 2:00. We stayed up for a little while, chatting about how our days/nights had gone. We were asleep by 4:30 and slept till nearly noon. Catching up on so much sleep (since I'd gotten a couple hours before he even came home) was glorious...

It's been a mixed bag of a weekend. Friday, Dustin picked me up from work at 2:30 and we had a quickie and then we showered and I dressed for my birthday hangout. On the way, we popped by my place and dropped off my bag and picked Rider up. For a while, it was just the three of us, and it went...

You look fantastic! Love the outfit!

Rider did not end up going on that date because shortly after I posted that, he found out an old friend of his had committed suicide. They were not super close, but they did have a special connection, and that's the first time he's been through that, so he was pretty shaken up. His date...
