    Into The Deep End

    When I woke up this morning, my laptop was on. There was a... A long, rambling, unpublished blog post for a different site is written. Don't remember writing it. I guess I sent some text messages too. I'm either sleep-writing, or I had a nervous breakdown. Either way... I need to pull this...

    Into The Deep End

    I was doing better. Honestly, I was. Feeling better, almost feeling good again. We're planning to meet up tomorrow for a bit. Maybe that should be panned. I don't know. Her husband posted on... let's just say, a different site. And I read it. And three things hit my brain. One... I am...

    Not terribly serious but vexing problem

    Politely tell R that you already have a copy of said book, and ask if he would like to return it and try something else, because with his taste you know he's got to have some good ideas?

    Into The Deep End

    So, I'm not sure if this is a poly/mono issue or if this is a married-eleven-years/dating issue... but either way, I'm having an issue. You ever get that feeling, deep in your bones, that something is -wrong-? And you need to fix it, or warn someone, but you don't know what it is? I've been...

    Into The Deep End

    So... life has decided to remain interesting on several fronts. The number of people living in the house has increased by two, as my soon-to-be-ex-brother-in-law and his daughter have moved in to the basement. The gets a mention on this blog because he is one of the reasons I'm more...

    It's always complicated

    Some advice passed down from my father: "You never get over the ones you really love. They just become less important to you in time." It hurts, yes. But it hurt less each day. And it will always hurt a little. But it does get better. He also added "Now don't tell your mother I said that"...

    What is your 'story'

    My girlfriend and her husband have decided they're not going to lie about being poly, they're just not going to advertise it. It's a conservative state and people in high positions tend to look down on that sort of thing. But they've decided they don't want to lie about the people they care...

    Closing the door on poly

    Ouch. I've never felt the need to hug a total stranger before, but it sounds like you could use one. That... Shit, I don't know what to say. I'm sorry. That's... Honestly, that's a lot of my fears and worries made manifest, right there. Nobody wants to have that happen. I hope the two of you...

    Poly-at-heart but monogamous in marriage

    I'm in sort-of the opposite boat (no Navy pun intended). I'm monogamous, but currently in a relationship with a married polygirl. So... I know some of the things your wife is thinking. She's worried about having to compete. Insecure about not being good enough. Scared at her own feelings... what...

    Into The Deep End

    Girlfriend and husband talked. Sleepovers have been approved on both sides. I admit, I squee'd like a teenaged fangirl watching her 'ship made canon. ... okay, so, I'm a giant friggin' nerd. I'm also happy. Now I just need to wait until schedules clear up.

    Into The Deep End

    Well, I'm not sure if my brain imploded or not, but it seems like the situation should be recorded for posterity. Or whatnot. I saw her kiss him for the first time tonight. Not, like, full-on-makeout kiss, but more than just a simple peck on the lips. And I felt... nothing. Not a single bit of...

    What did I do wrong? Or did I?

    I'll take the devil's advocate position here to say that some guys, at 3:45 in the morning, can't really think straight. I've apparently had entire conversations that I don't recall, made decisions about the next day that make no sense, etc. It may be the same thing; the early wake-up made him...

    Into The Deep End

    God, I hope it's not an ending. But I think it's the end of near-daily updates and stream-of-conciousness stuff. I have reached a place where I wish my meta the best in his relationships; where my stbx-wife has chosen to reunite with an old boyfriend and they're discussing possibly living...

    Into The Deep End

    On paper, tonight was just an ordinary date. Went out to a bar to watch a band, came back, watched a movie... well, watched part of a movie, missed the rest of it... And I find myself very sad once again that the subject of sleepovers is still being hashed out. Although that may quickly change...

    Into The Deep End

    In a quick update, I am learning to understand Polyspeak. The phrase "My husband has a date this weekend" translates to "There is a good chance we'll get to spend some extra time together this weekend." ... I don't think I've ever rooted for someone else's date to last a long, long time before.

    Into The Deep End

    Maybe not a 100% new way of looking at things... but it certainly requires looking at definitions and redefining some, and looking at things previously held to be true and deciding how true they are. I don't know if I can love more than one person. But I'm able to accept the fact that she can...

    Into The Deep End

    So, a couple things. First, the advantage to living your life online is that you get to meet all types. I've got friends who are poly, kink, trans, whatever, you name it, I probably know at least a few people who qualify for the label. One thing I never understood about my poly friends is that...

    Into The Deep End

    It's possible the things said about me on FL were an attempt to create a dominant persona. At least, that's what I've decided to tell myself. That, or fictions made to blow off stress. Either way. ------------------ The GF and I both had changes in our schedules today that let us meet up for...

    Married but recently poly-hubby wants to stop

    I don't know how qualified I am to give advice here, but I've been doing a lot of reading lately; it sounds like your husband is the classic 'Fair-Weather Fan'. When things are going well for him, he's all about being poly, but when he hits a dry patch, it becomes all about him and you and...

    Into The Deep End

    I hope she does too. Just wish she hadn't felt the need to say things about me on there. Ah, well... I may not like finding out how I got here, but I like where I am and where I'm going.
