    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    A sorta side note? More and more I'm finding that I want to live on my own. I love having a home with a partner and sharing a bed at night with someone I love. But lately I just want my own space. Getting my own place isn't an option at this point because I can't afford it. If I didn't live...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Update Wow, I did not mean to leave this blank for so long but truth be told all the drama in my triad has me exhausted. The last time I wrote, I was feeling very ignored and overlooked and at times walked over by my partners. Not a great feeling. I actually took two days away from them both...

    Is it worth the risk?

    Ouch! I really feel for you and both the women in your life right now. I know it's hard to be in a situation like that. I hope it works out for all of you. I also hope that if your wife does come around to the idea one day that she's able to see past her fears and see how much love she has from...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Thank you to everyone who has responded. Your advice has helped me step back from the crazy ledge for a while. Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to really reply. There was drama between me and Hardy that just pushed me right out the door. I'm taking a few days to myself and figure out...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Oh yeah, that bravery thing? I think it's safe to say, bravey went out the window with those last few days I wrote about. So now I have to figure out the best way to get it back. And do it.

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day?? All This Madness I haven't been keeping up with my postings because things effectively blew up in my household and the fallout carried on for 4 days? Hell, I'm still feeling it. I went from feeling happy and hopeful about my relationship with Nancy and about our triad to feeling...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 11 Today was sluggish. I went to work for a few hours then back to bed lol and slept for a while. But I had a good day lounging on the couch, mostly recovering from yesterday. I had some ugly thoughts on annd off throughout the day about Nancy and Hardy, wondering what they were doing, not...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 10 I didn't see much of Nancy or Hardy today. I made plans to go to a drinking event with my friends, thinking they were going to be leaving yesterday instead of today. But I had breakfast with my dad and then decided to go meet my friends early rather than go home and go back out. Because...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 9 Today was another one of those long work days that sort of destroy me but I'm happy to say my day started amazing with some alone time with my lady. Thank god! I felt like it had been forever! (And to be fair, two days feels like forever with my libido). I had also asked for alone time...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 8 Today was another long day, work first, then a meeting for a group assignment at school after. Luckily for me, it meant getting home early to spend some quality time with Nancy. Both of us were destroyed from the days events. And the night before Nancy and Hardy had some drama which left...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 7 First week down and sadly, day 7 was NOT a good day for me. I was exhausted all day from work being unnecessarily stressful, lack of quality sleep, and knowing I wouldn't be seeing either of my partners until it was their bedtime. I hate spending so much time away that by the time I get...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 6 (I really need to be better about posting what happens at the end of each day instead of trying to remember after the fact. But with school, work, two partners, homework, sleep, trying to have a social life too...where does the time go?) Today was blissfully work free! And I got to...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Wow! Thanks! I've spent so much time and mental energy on being jealous that something had to give. If I keep up with he bad habits I'm going to lose the one thing I really want. Poly is hard for some of us but I have to believe it can be done because if how I love my partners and my own well...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 5 I had a wonderful night with Nancy despite the both of us being exhausted last night. It was just nice to cuddle with her, talk and eat grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. I hated getting up in the morning and going to work. But I did get to talk to Hardy before I clocked in. And the...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 4 I had a good day today, I'm happy to report! I visited with two friends of mine, a married couple that my partners like to joke about as "my other triad." I usually shake my head at this because who the hell would have time or energy for that? If that's you, more power to you because I...

    Adrift's Challenge to Herself

    Day 3 Today was frustrating for me and did not start off well. Last night Nancy told me she wanted to wake up early in the morning to have alone time with Hardy before she left for work. I was hit hard with jealous and negative emotions when she'd said that. Though to be fair, I was already in...

    Bi Assumptions

    I'm bi and like some others have posted, it kind of led me to poly. It started with a threeway and me going, "How awesome is this??" Then the more I thought of it, the more I thought that it's nice to have both a man and a woman to satisfy both those sexual needs. But emotionally, it's the...

    A request: state your gender and sexual preference/orientation

    Female and bisexual, pretty firmly 50/50 in the middle between male and female for my sexual interest. I don't claim pansexual because I've never been sexually interested in someone who is trans or intersexed. Doesn't mean it can't happen, just that it hasn't.

    What's Wrong with Monogamy, a True Story
