    A Mono's Journey Into Poly-Land (or, "Aw hell, there's no road map?!")

    Okay, so... I got a post out the door, and got a guest post that fell into my lap as well. The cosmic nudge to go blog already has been noted. :) Updates: The Kid Stuff is chugging along at status quo. We've had good weekends with them, and we've had our "apart time." I'm trying to be a bit...

    A Mono's Journey Into Poly-Land (or, "Aw hell, there's no road map?!")

    Holy crap, I'm writing something for my external blog (that I'm hoping to post later tonight)! And I've posted a guest post, AND only a couple months after my last post! Hopefully I can keep this rhythm up (and maybe increase it a bit). More to come later, but just wanted to squee a bit about...

    Good Lord, girl! Hugs! I'm glad they caught it early, and I'm glad it's treatable. Hoping the resulting surgery goes well and with few complications. Also hoping that this string of crapola luck runs out and things start looking up soon.

    Ugh... When you lay it all out like that, it's exhausting to READ, let alone (I'm sure) live through. Hugs and hope that you get some good answers (and some good drugs!). And good luck with Science Guy! :)

    When metamours unite

    Whenever Chops gets the, "AAAAAAY!" response from guys when they learn he has multiple relationships, he always responds with, "It ain't the dream you think!" I am far more amused than offended by this response. :D

    New to Poly

    <raises hand> Not sure if you meant me, but I'm definitely in that group. :) Yeah, it's irritating. Part of my "irked-ness" (word?) is that I tend to feel like I'm too involved somehow in their "together time" when I prefer a level of separation between relationships. Photos from trips, etc...

    I am angry. I am bitter. I am devastated.

    This. AveragePerson, can you and your BF plan your time together in advance? It's far easier to turn someone away when you have concrete plans. If I have nothing planned in the calendar and then I make plans with someone else, it's not something I feel comfortable cancelling if my partner...

    It's a Texlahoma Story

    Everyone who's posted has said things better than I can, so I'm just going to offer some more hugs... So sorry, Claire :(

    Hugs, Mags (gentle, non-super-squishy ones). So glad you have the support from Pixi and your family (and Punk, despite all the twisting and turning he's going through right now). Ugh. Sending some good vibes your way.

    "Stop me if you've heard this one" - clichés we've heard from non-polys

    This is one of those responses that I choose to see through a different lens. As a mono person, it's easy to hear, "Oh, you poor victim," with responses like this. I've had friends tell me it'd be more fair if I were poly, since I could have "two guys half-time that would add up to one full...

    Online dating blows

    Just wanted to add that if you're driving a Jetta, there's a whole bunch of VW fans who would start a conversation based on that alone. ;)

    Nobody's Fool

    Chops works with someone who was an extra in the movie. I think all of our degrees of separation just got... weirder? :p Still want to see the movie. I love, love, LOVE Leslie Jones. I've heard great things about the film.

    A Mono's Journey Into Poly-Land (or, "Aw hell, there's no road map?!")

    Thanks, Atlantis and PinkPig. :) It's funny, Chops and I had quite the conversation about it last week, which basically ended at a bit of a stalemate. We understand what the issues are, but we can't really do anything about them. We're just prepared to deal with it as it pops up. That said...

    I have to wonder if I'm now more of a Squib than a Muggle. :p

    I'm thinking of adopting "Gull Nuggets!" as my newest pseudo-swear. How crazy! Glad you had a good time!

    Survival guide for dating a mono

    And because I was curious, myself... An interesting thread from 2011 that shows how much I love the discussion on this board. :) Another thread in which it was pointed out that the statements could be considered offensive, yet encouraged more discussion rather than stifled it. Okay... I've...

    Survival guide for dating a mono

    I will assume you're talking about OP's (RP's?) comment that the thread was sad, as opposed to plucking phrases out of the thread in order to justify it (and lead to discussion). Shrug. I hardly think the discussion has suffered any because of it. Not at all. I'm saying that merely stating...

    Survival guide for dating a mono

    I have a simpler case: it's a dick move. Many of the mono folks are here for support in their own relationships - they have a horse in this race, and not only has a race horse fallen into their laps, they have no friggin' idea what to do with it. Plus, a good number of them end up in bad...

    Aw... I'm happy for you and Pixi, and I'm also happy you and Punk were able to reconnect. It makes my heart all squishy. :D
