    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    I LOVE that picture! They look so happy. There's no way to see their little faces and not smile. :)

    Relationships and commitment without the escalator?

    I've found that nesting compatibility and depth of relationship are not necessarily the same thing. Fly and I were together for 8 years, and although it was stressful and an emotional roller coaster the entire time, we were extraordinarily good at living together. I actually think we stayed...

    Unbinding the briars of my joys & desires

    I'm very similar in that if I'm upset, I need space and trying to force me to talk or touch is only going to make me feel fenced in and cornered. This is hard for Moonlight, because she wants reassurance and she wants to hold or take care of me or make things better. I just can't deal with that...

    What has being poly taught you?

    Poly taught me to let relationships be whatever they are, and to value them all. I no longer feel a need to worry about if a relationship is "going somewhere," or how long we're going to be together, or if we're going to grow apart. Everything is fluid, and adaptable, and as long as there is...

    Mya's search for balance

    For me, any kind of obligation (real or perceived) makes me feel antsy, trapped, and slightly rebellious. I tend to be a much kinder person if I feel like I'm doing it for love, rather than duty. I like the term queerplatonic. I think a lot of my relationships end up that way - something more...

    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    When I went to South America, I opted to do the oral typhoid vaccination instead of the injection. It's self-administered, four doses total, each taken every other day. It was not only cheaper than the shot, but lasts 5 years instead of two, in case she ends up doing more traveling. How...

    Ideas for dates

    Favorite dates: - the zoo (first date) - an afternoon walk around the lake in a local park, where we ended up on a bench watching the ducks and chatting for almost 3 hours (first date) - blackberry picking and a picnic (second date) - rented a canoe and paddled around the arboretum (second...

    Talking it out

    I just read this article the other day about people buying mobile homes for cheap and then doing beautiful upgrades. It's focused on millennials, but I found it really interesting. http://www.ozy.com/fast-forward/trailer-park-nation-some-surprising-good-news-for-millennials/40617

    Age Gaps

    Punk is about 6 years older, Moonlight is 30 years older, and Fly is 10 years older. I've dated a few people close to my age, but I seem to click better with folks older than me.

    Ever encountered an MMW V?

    I think V's are more common, but I think a lot of people describe their configuration as a triad when it's probably really a V.

    Those strange patterns in your dating history

    I tend to date older people. Punk is 5 years older, Fly is 10 years older, and Moonlight is 30 years older. I'm the baby in my family, and my brother and sister are significantly older (by 14 and 16 years). All my cousins are much older also. I think that's why I'm so comfortable in...

    What do you do for fun & hobbies?

    I love to cook, especially homey, peasanty, Mediterranean-style foods. I also love eating out. Just food in general. :rolleyes: I love travel. Fly and I did a lot of international travel, and I absolutely would move to southern France, Barcelona, or Argentina in a heartbeat. Moonlight and I do...
