    In the beginning.....was confusion.

    The Second Half Lately, I've had this idea running in my head that the second half of my life may turn out to be nothing more than correcting all the crazy side paths I wandered down in the first half. First half of my life was spent doing the straight, monogamous expected thing: get married...

    In the beginning.....was confusion.

    Just move it already After Pidge and I had the The Big Hairy Talk last weekend, we agreed that we’d set aside time each week for a check-in with each other. Yesterday I made the comment that we had to have another talk, meaning it had been almost a week. You should have seen her--her eyes were...

    10 Realistic rules for good non-monogamous relationships

    Mining While mining for treasure in the older posts, I re-discovered this gem from days past. This article is full of wisdom, and things to ponder. The Pidge and I will have hours of conversational fodder from this one article alone.

    You make a totally valid point. It's more about your being okay with whatever choices she makes, being okay with whatever happens next, instead of attaching to a theory and seeing it vanish, leaving you drifting. Being okay no matter the outcome....Thank you for explaining that. Again, love your...

    My Version of a Sorta Fairytale

    I find it really interesting that not once do you speculate that it could have been YOU who she was trying to get close to, instead of your husband. He spoke enthusiastically about you, she (it sounds like) keeps trying to get closer to you, and yet....do you not believe it might be you she is...

    the story of a secondary

    Hi Annabel, This paragraph you wrote really caught me, and I wanted to toss an idea out there. If I'm way off base, I apologize.:) If I understand correctly, you are the first woman Gia has really had a loving and ongoing relationship with, while for you F/F relationships been part of your...

    Poly pirates? It really is such a different mindset from how society (at least American society) tells us things should be. That, and what it reinforces daily in so many ways would seem to make having it be a habit really take some serious reprogramming. Velvet, can I ask how long you have...

    More than two It's kind of humbling, in a way. The first time I read the articles he had written I realized that my initial assumptions were so off-base, so selfish and unrealistic I was truly ashamed of myself. So much of it is basic common sense, human decency, respect for others, etc. All...

    Doll budget runs dry You're the second person to ask me that. Since we have both decided for ourselves it's not something we're interested in, I haven't given it as much thought. But we're not forbidding anything to each other. I think it would be harder to accept, but the main thing always is...

    My Version of a Sorta Fairytale

    When you said Poison reared her nasty little head all I could think of was Whack-A-Mole and you going after her with a rubber hammer.... You really jumped in at the deep end of the pool, lady! I would have been so overwhelmed all I could do is sit it a corner going wub-wub-wub and playing with...

    Dysfunctional ducks in a row You can totally call me Ducky.:) So, if I can ask, how realistic does it seem that you could handle your jealousy differently, if you were in an open relationship in the future? I mean, does it feel to you like something you can learn and then do? I think in a...

    We need a British Doll Well...they weren't life sized. Maybe I should have mentioned that up front, in case you were imagining...Never mind. :D We probably shouldn't dwell on what you might be thinking of doing with dolls. I'm glad you like the site! He has so much of value to say. His was...

    Poor Toilet Seat Guy You bring up some great points to ponder. We truly don't demand or expect that he would love us both equally, just adequately for him feel happy about spending time, both intimate and casual, with us both. I really don't want to try to decide for him how he feels. Maybe he...

    Mom, Where are we going? Crazy dear.

    Learning the high price tag that goes along with out of control anger is so important. It's great that you can be there for your daughter, to support her while she manages this crucial life lesson. :-)

    Wow!!! Your head must have been an interesting place after that night. Giggles sounds like one of those people who can change your life just by knowing them. And Poison?? Aptly named, for sure. Did you ever find out what she was doing there, and what the hell she thought she had to smirk about?

    Headlamps needed!! Enquiring minds deserve what they get! Fortunately I do some of my best work in the dark.:D I also own a helmet with a headlamp for just such occasions. So now all I have to fear are legions of vampire bats out for my newbie blood. This reminds me very strongly of...
