So my part-time job has now officially turned into a full-time job if I want it. I have yet to figure out how I am going to juggle this, my business, my son and everything else that is going on. :rolleyes: I came home from work, curled up with my kid and napped, before sending him off to his...

I'm sorry I haven't been around to respond to the post accordingly. I was called into my part-time job unexpectedly, and have been dealing with a lot of un-fun emotional stuff. Once I get a chance, I will update everyone. I appreciate the very honest and straightforward advice, so very helpful.

My sweeties live in their own little bubble, of which mine is different. We have already hit the second strike, because of an incident which happened over what was originally a very fun Pride weekend. She is sad that she hurt me, he is rather defiant and petulant.I met my male partner first...

I haven't been on here in a while, but I am back! I have dabble in poly relationships for quite some time, but hadn't found one that was quite the right *fit* for me, up until a couple months ago. I am a single momma to my 11 year old son, my partners, male and female live together. They are...

My son is pretty much the centre of my universe :) Some time to be an adult would be nice though! I feel like I keep harping on the schedule thing, just dating and parenthood is challenging. I'm sure many people on this board are aware of that! All I want is the same consideration extended my...

I don't have a partner at present myself, but this is important to me nonetheless. I don't expect to be the centre of someone's universe, nor them of mine. It is important to me though that my schedule as a single parent is taken into consideration, that there is a willingness for my...

I have a date next Tuesday, a pretty neutral one for the most part.He seems like a nice enough guy, figured drinks can't hurt. I leave for Edmonton the next day so I will have time to process :rolleyes: I will likely run into L and J this coming weekend, kinda makes my heart twist up a bit but...

I did put up a profile on a dating website....I didn't put my "modeling" pictures up though. Not enough of a vain tart to call myself a model - the pictures tend to draw in every yahoo imaginable :rolleyes: I am focusing on spending time with my son and friends tonight. Meeting the new...

I'm not in a hurry to get back in the dating saddle, I think my friends are concerned that if I don't start putting myself out there I never will.Sigh. I am still feeling a bit sad about my recent kerfuffle, it's not as if I suddenly stopped liking the guy. I just couldn't work my life around...

I just recently attempted to start dating again....things went completely awry after three dates on both attempts, ack! I got "the talk" from two friends this weekend that I should stop closing myself off from the possibility of meeting people. I am and I'm not...it's a bit complicated. The...

"She gave me a pen....I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen....." Lloyd Dobbler - Say Anything "Should I bolt every time I get that feeling in my gut when I meet someone new? Well, I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that...

I'm kind of at a loss myself, actually, for the meeting-people thingy. I'm the odd one out for a lot of things. I don't fare well in the queer community most of the time, despite being open and out about myself. The people I've dated don't often like my enormous ties to the straight community...

Hi! I'm 34 and a fellow Canadian to some of you. I am single, and a single momma to my wonderful son.I use the single momma term rather loosely as my sons father is still a huge part of our life.We still spend time together as a family and as friends, pretty damn lucky if I do say so. I do...

Aw, thank you, redpepper. :) My recent experience took a bit of a chunk out of my self esteem in regards to my communication skills. I just couldn't wrap my head around some of the ways they've structured their relationship. I am starting to realize that maybe it wasn't that I communicate as...

Personal Communication Issues Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure if I saw anything in this thread about overcoming difficult personal communication issues. My childhood was less than stellar in many ways, a huge box o' stuff that I prefer not to open unless necessary. "If you have...

I was watching Same Time Next Year on tv before I left to vend at an event for my business yesterday morning. I'm thinking it's time to watch it from start to end soon :) It's funny that I recognized this movie from watching it when I was a wee one, a friend of mine who's quite a bit older than...

I love this movie, I have ever since I was a little girl! I always remembered key scenes in the movie but never the title as I was pretty young the first time I watched it. I still cry when I watch it! :o

Thank you Stitchwitchd, you raised a valid point. "Primary/secondary make sense as descriptive labels, but I really don't like the idea of going into a relationship with an artificial limit on how much it can grow, like a bonsai. Having different labels for different relationships is entirely...

I don't think anything will develop further with L and I unfortunately. My schedule limitations didn't seem to be able to be considered in the realm of " we will see each other once a week or so and won't take advantage of each others time". He didn't want to set aside a set day in case things...

Thank you so much for your post, I found it very insightful and helpful. Everything I've been reading so far has been very helpful! I have to admit to feeling a bit awkward now with L and J, I'm hoping it will pass as they are really great people.Mayhaps I will some like-minds in the future that...
