Had a wonderful date night with G tonight. We had a nice dinner, took a walk in the beautiful sunshine, and had some great conversation (and yummy good night kisses!). We talked again about safe sex practices, STI exposure, and testing. He told me that he is planning to get tested again in...

AlbertaRaven - I'm trying very hard to do just that - just to act how I act, feel how I feel, and not get as caught up in the semantics of it all. I know the semantics label important differences for the bf-turned-fwb, so I'm creating some distance and seeing how things proceed. I know that...

Over a year since I posted and so much has happened. Last year I dated/fwb with a lot of people casually for several months until I got involved in a triad with A and B. We were together for about 8.5 months before B told me she wasn't comfortable continuing to date me since she realized I was...

Lately I've had to do a lot of thinking and discussion with partners about labels and semantics. I've decided I really, really dislike them. But I guess I can see how they are necessary. I have two fwb's. Both are very different relationships. One is a man I was in a relationship with for 9...

Recently, my gf told me she'd be more comfortable as friends with occasional benefits, as she realized i was not the "exception", she isn't romantically interested in women. Also recently, my bf told me he wasn't feeling comfortable calling what we had a relationship since we could only see...

Jealousy is driving me nuts. I have NO REASON to be jealous of anyone I am dating also dating other people seeing as how I am dating multiple people. I think it relates to the fact I'm still emotionally fragile from the abrupt end to my marriage, and I have such little time I can actually do...

I saw Marty for the first time in three months yesterday. It was overall good. All the kids had a great time playing, and Marty & I managed to steal a moment here and there to talk on more grown up matters, as well as flirt and tease each other a bit, steal kisses and touches, etc. Definitely...

Well, its sounding like all three of my potential dates this week are probably not happening, boo. I think I may have scared G off with my direct approach, LOL. Better to find out early I suppose, since I have no intentions of changing my personality. Z ended up being busy with work the...

nycindie, you were right!! Today, I was talking with Marty, and told him I was dating a couple other men. Now he suddenly wants to get together again. You called that one!! Had a great second date with Z today. He's down with the lover-friends thing and seeing other people and taking whatever...

Wow, thank you, thank you, thank you! The only other folks who have encouraged me not to give up on G yet are also poly or at least poly friendly. So I suspect you are correct on the mono vs poly thing (meaning no offense to mono people, since eventually, I will probably be mono again). Would...

Thanks, nycindie. :) So, I have had some folks telling me I am not following the "rules" for dating, since I ask men out. Hm. I'm also frustrated at how easy it is for people to apparently say one thing and mean another. Had my first date with G on Weds. I thought it went great; I am really...

I am so glad you & Bee are okay!!

First date with G got postponed to today. I'm cautiously excited and hope to gain a friend if nothing else. :) We are grabbing coffee after work. I'm taking it as yet another sign that my upcoming move (I'm moving from the city I live in to the town I work in about an hour away - will take...

So, C has basically blown me off. I figure that's his loss. ;) Marty randomly popped back into my life. I'm enjoying the ego boost of the flirtation, even though I know it won't go anywhere. I have another first date this week, with G. I'm pretty stoked about it and planning my outfit. I...

Not much to report. C has been hard to pin down. Which is okay, except, I want to have another date to gauge interest - both mine and his - and then broach the idea of a non-partnered dating/sexual relationship. A has basically poofed - which is okay by me, since I had reservations. It's...

So last week, I had three first dates scheduled with guys off an online dating site. Date #1 was dinner on Weds with C. I don't have nicknames made up yet, we'll see if they are needed. I thought it went very well. I openly admit I already had a huge e-crush on him from his profile and the...

I guess I was wrong about shutting down my blog. Copying something I posted elsewhere today to help explain why I am back. "I have been telling myself the past two months - no poly, never again. But then I'll start thinking in the frame of mind I've been used to this past year, and go hmm...

For my blog followers, I wanted to come back and update. This will probably be my last blog post, because at this point, I have very little desire to attempt another poly situation. I honestly don't think I am wired for it and since Derrick has decided to end our marriage, I no longer have to...

This week, we are trying to give the kids normal routines before and after work/school, and then once they are in bed, he goes to sleep somewhere else so we both have "space" to process and think and etc and I get to cry myself to sleep in our bedroom alone. Friday we are going to sit down...

I am putting the breaks on anything potential at this point because my marriage is crumbling. I discovered over the weekend that Derrick and the woman he went behind my back with in May/June never stopped their affair. All this time when I thought he and I were working on repairing our...
