LR, I adore you, but your life makes me want to take a nap! I have been catching up, and I finally had a minute to comment. GG blew off your date night and apologised the next day. Hmm. I would have addressed it that night, but he did apologise. Shit happens. I am happy to read that you two are...

It was a choice. Like I told our marriage counsellor, "I am not wired or predisposed to do anything relating to poly." My upbringing had nothing to do with my polyamorist tendencies. I dipped into poly when I was a teenager. If I had never met my ex, I would have been in a mono marriage because...

It sounds like moving did a world of good for you. I am happy that you all are settling in, exploring your new city, and enjoying being close to relatives. Change can be a good thing. I have learned that boredom is a great thing. I would not consider your life boring. Personally, I need and...

I had to read from the beginning, and I love your blog. I will be following it with great interest. The others have given excellent advice, so I hope 2014 is off to a great start for you. I look forward to reading more from you. xo Ry

The New Normal I was going to abandon my blog altogether, but I miss posting. These days my life is pretty straight laced and simple. (Boring, even?) Simplicity can be a good thing. We are settling into our new normal, and for me, consistency is quite a strange concept. Being the hands on mum...

I am thrilled that you decided to start a blog. Even if it is a short one. It is nice to get the full picture and learn more about you and how you got to where you are today. I look forward to reading more from you when you do update. xo Ry

I am happy for you! How are you enjoying Seattle? Are you and your family getting settled and adjusting? Here is to new beginnings and fresh starts. I am also envious. I want some snow. It was pushing 90 degrees [Fahrenheit] on Christmas. Australians and their seasons are reversed. The only...

I am surprised that a system has not been worked out with M and when you will see him. He keeps reneging on agreed dates and does not offer a rain check at the bare minimum? You can only repeat something so many times before it borders on redundancy. You have told him what you need, and he is...

I hope you are still doing well and enjoying your new relationship. I am thrilled that you have moved or will be moving out. I hope 2014 brings peace and less dysfunction. I am playing catch up, so I am replying before I read everything but the last page or two. Happy Holidays. :)

Your mum is wrong. I do not agree with "punishing" children simply because you are peeved with their parents. I am glad your children enjoyed Christmas anyway. Happy to hear Butch's surgery went well, and I hope you enjoy your weekend and Happy New Year, in advance. Ry

Thank you, BP. I need to go read your blog and get an update. I hope you are doing well. I love the way you write. It resonates within my soul, and it fills me up. It has taken me awhile to reach this point of happiness, authentic joy, appreciation of the love placed in my heart, self...

Thank you. The world cannot handle poly, yet. I definitely still believe poly works, so I will never invalidate it. Twelve years is certainly nothing to sneeze on. It was either/or for me. I gave myself an ultimatum. Poly or expanding our family. I know others can do it with ease, but I have...

Thank you! I hope you all enjoyed your holidays. It is summertime at home, and Christmas in the summer is an odd concept for me. I am used to temperatures barely above/below freezing and snow, but we were on the beach and soaking up the sun. I am happy my children enjoyed themselves. That is...

First and foremost, Merry Christmas to those on this side of the world with me, and Merry Christmas Eve to the rest of the world! Nine months ago, I watched my world collapse and fall into utter disarray. 2013 has been a very trying year on all fronts, but I can say with absolute certainty that...

I understand it now. I was content with the two I had, but I am happy with the one. It scared me at first, and it has taken some time to wrap my head around it. I went to a jewellery launch last night, and I have a new analogy for the shape my life has taken on. What I had with the two...

Mmhm. Terrible. I am sorry, but some people should not be allowed to procreate. If she is old enough, I would tell her to find a job and pay for her own counselling. Our therapist works on a sliding scale, so given the circumstances, maybe her therapist or counsellor would be willing to work...

Most definitely. Indeed. I often say that people in the church tend to be the biggest hypocrites. It is a shame when self-righteous behaviour evolves into cruelty. I have seen it with so-called "Christians" more than just random people. Fake ass Christians. :rolleyes: Tis true, but what...

We are in therapy and have been since March. This is our second therapist because we relocated. We have been seeing her since June. She is poly, kink, etc. friendly. Her marriage has been open and closed at points, so she understands both POV. We trust her. It has been a grueling process, but it...

What are you and your husband holding on? A loveless, irretrievably broken marriage. Separate, divorce, and end it as friends. It sounds like your marriage was broken, and you added poly. Rookie mistake. You and your husband need to part ways and make it peaceful as possible to avoid hurting...

Tricky. It is half her home, and well, you cannot actually ask her to leave for your sake. Does Isaac feel that this is a problem? If yes, has he asked her about it to at least see if she would be willing to get out of the house for awhile? Do they have children? Could they be the reason she...
