    Mourning my lost relationships & looking forward

    Wow, it has been a while since I have made an update: The apartment hunt still continues. We had fallen in love with a cute one recently, only to have the current occupants decide not to move. Elaine & I are still at odds alot. The velociraptors are getting worse. And my Mom & my nieces are so...

    Parallel Poly Ups & Downs

    Well, now that I have calmed down. I have come to realize that last weekend was sot of a perfect storm of miscommunications on both of our parts. It was Elaine's birthday weekend and she wanted only close family to celebrate it. So, rather than make a big to-do, I agreed. I was already feeling...

    Parallel Poly Ups & Downs

    Making it a boundary? That is a work in progress. All of the other co-friends dropped me as soon as Angela did. Craig didn't cause I think I am one of the few divorced friends he has. But he hasn't asked my about divorce since that one question last year. He could have forgotten that he friended...

    I try, but putting actions to my sentiment is hard. Yes, all of this. But they aren't poly friends. All of them are mono. Angela & JR are still not out as poly. Craig, Angela's best friend, is a strange person. He he asked me during a group dinner, with his wife across the table, "as the only...

    Parallel Poly Ups & Downs

    That's the thing. I know that most weekends they will be doing things together. Hopefully with this farmer's market I can focus on my stuff & not on seeing what my OSO is doing.

    I did ask him. He answered back immediately. He was at the outing & it was his shadow that I had seen. He didn't think that going to this would upset me. I answered neither did I but my brain had other opinions. I need to figure out a way that if this happens in the future I can work through...

    A little backstory. I happened to see a post on FB about Angela & her friends having fun at a local park with pictures. Going through these picture I stop at on were it is her friend's son & his friend. And there is 2 shadows taking the picture. My messed up brain goes "That second shadow looks...

    Parallel Poly Ups & Downs

    My relationship with JR these past months has seemed to be idyllic. We see each other multiple times a week & I run D&D for him and most of my family almost every Sunday. But sometimes I feel like something is off. Like there is something I am not seeing or isn't right. I know I have PSTD...

    Mourning my lost relationships & looking forward

    Trying to find a good apartment has been very difficult so far. You seem to be getting somewhere then POOF the ad disappears, or we never get a reply before someone else snatches it up, OR we get a reply and never get a viewing. It's so fucking frustrating, cause I am the go between. JR works...

    Now that the Covid stay at home orders are slowly easing here on Long Island, NY. JR & I have been able to begin in person viewing of apartments. We saw on that was in JR's price range but there where way too many red flags. One big one for me was that the ceilings were extremely low for a 2nd...

    The apartment search resumes for JR. He tells me that Angela is generally ignores him, except when it comes doing household chores. JR had taken them over while she was in the hospital & when she was in isolation. She complains that he hasn't been doing them correctly. But she will not do...

    Things at JR's has returned to 'normal'. Angela is slowly beginning to come out of her room now that she is out of isolation. I do not know if they have discussed Marion yet. But then again, that is none of my business.

    Angela came back to JR's apartment on Sunday. And has been in isolation since. She rarely talks to JR. The only communication between them is her requesting hot water & other items, to be placed outside her door. As far as we have been told as long as she stays in her room for a week things...

    Thank you Fuchka. My friend seems to be celebrating his life. Pancreatic cancer is an awful, painful disease. It's a beautiful way to mourn the love of your life. Well, that all came to a head the same day I posted last. Angel's family ran him around on the phone for hours. Then when someone...

    Ok, I went and offered to come over & help. JR & Angela's family appreciate that I asked. But for now I am on standby.

    Again TY Evie. We are parallel poly. I want to offer my help. But I don't know if it would be appreciated by Angela or her family. But this leaves JR to take care of Marion alone & he works nights. Last year Angela was in the hospital with an ovarian cyst, I was there for both of them. But now...
