It depends on how the "good morning" or "how are you" are phrased. Looking at me from head to toe, licking your lips like LL Cool J or like I am something to be devoured, and then proceeding to say "good morning," would rub me wrong. I do not take kindly to being objectified. Every woman is...

Even without the additional relationship, I was running myself into the ground. It was not fair to me, my husband, my children, or my loved ones. I was not taking care of myself properly. Sometimes I forget I am human and not invincible. I owe it to my children to never allow myself get weighed...

Thank you. I would rather have the same person than different people in and out. The nanny has been here since before the first was born. When we lived in London, our families were not close. My parents lived in Weybridge, which is an hour outside of London. My sister has three children of...

I am well aware of that, but it is neither here nor there. It is not like I can undo any of this. It damn sure would have helped if I had left that bitch before last year. I digress. I am doing better now. Why remind me of my many fuck ups? I do that every day before my feet touch the floor...

Aww. Thank you ever so kindly. Interesting perspective. My advice to anyone who reads this saga: run like the Usain Bolt. It is not worth any of the heartache or the trail of broken hearts. 18 months on and we are still repairing the damages. No end in sight as to when the restoration...

Thank you, Kevin. No sense in complaining about that which I cannot change. Depression was never going to be the death of me. My MIL moved in weeks ago, and she was not having that. I am going to miss having her around. I cannot heal the broken bond with my daughter any faster than time...

I was not on here for most of the winter. Hello, spring. I have been waiting for you, but dear God it is fucking depressing to read 99.9% of the threads on here. I am breathing and grateful for every day. Somewhere in the world, someone did not wake up. I was given another day to be a little...

Congratulations. They are precious!

Aww. I hate to read that you are having a hard time. I am coming out of quasi hiatus to comment. I do hope it gets better for you, Kevin. Triggers absolutely suck. Take it one hour at a time and breathe. Recovery is never a speedy process. I am sorry Snowbunny lost her job. That just means...

I can see how your fears would be exacerbated. He keeps lying to you. Every lie or little omission breaks down the trust more and more. Of course you are probably doubting anything he says because he has proven that he cannot be trusted. He may be telling you, "I am still in love with you," but...

We saw the National Zoo. It was placed in the oddest location. We had been to zoo in Powell, Ohio, a few days before, and their zoo sits out in the middle of nowhere. In D.C., it is just there. I would love to know how they decided where to place it. I appreciate your POV as the mono partner...

Part II Mr. Grey (formerly known as Matt) and I have been "closed" for almost a year. We made the decision to formally close on my 33rd birthday last year. Legally, it was not implemented until negotiations for the new postnup were complete, but we made the decision on the evening of my...

Part I I am exhausted, but I am happier than I have been in the past several weeks. Last week was non-stop. I had no time to be depressed. Monday and Tuesday were normal. Wednesday, my oldest and I went to Matauri Bay, New Zealand, for the night. I wanted to take one night and focus on her. The...

Always interesting points and commentary. I like the idea of the thread for Children of Poly. Kevin, you posed very valid questions. Re: Making time for a partner. In looking at my past schedule, I had no time to cut from my job (I had minimal say until I gained leverage), child(ren) (right)...

Thank you for that excellent advice. I think I will try that. :) I am still breastfeeding, so the list of what I can take is ridiculously short. The side effects of the available ones are dreadful. I am in CBT, and I want to avoid antidepressants at all costs. Depressive cycles are a pain in my...

D.C. was interesting. I thought the White House would be bigger. I would love to visit again. A good day turns into a bad day with the snap of my fingers. She has triggers. Her therapist said it could be a time, name, smell, a word, or anything. She does cycle like I do. I know her symptoms...

Insomnia and a restless brain stopped me from sleeping. I stayed up like I did not have to work. I am not feeling all that wonderful today. Therapy days with Eis tend to have that affect on me. It has to get better. When? I cried on and off all night. I have no idea why. Depression is some...

Pretty much. I was really thinking, "I wasted all that time on that bitch," but I did not swipe it across the keyboard. I suppose my true feelings are coming out now. Or I am just being hateful. I bet you took something away from the church. Even if it was run and never look back. A year on...

Oh, Kevin. Always Mr. Diplomatic. Or are you secretly a big meanie? ;) I am definitely not trying to be a lesson. I am the exception. I screwed my child up. Regardless of contributing factors/parties, how, or even her age, I am the catalyst for every problem she has. I wish she was just whiny...

There is not a set age. I really do not remember anything my parents told me or when. Considering I identified as a lesbian, some of what they told probably did not register. "Why would I need birth control with another girl?" I implore people to have age-appropriate discussions from an early...
