    Yes, for me too! I can soooo see ~ as time passes ~ that the NRE might JUST be HUGE components of Lust for me!! It feels so good to touch someone new, and you can see how one's mind tricks you into thinking that it is "love" but really, for me....it is not. It took a long time to figure that out...

    What are the benefits to being in a poly relationship?

    It is so strange for me to have put myself in this situation....I mean, seriously, who in their right mind would do this??! BUT, I have to agree, that the whole experience is where it is at...and if somehow, the experience opens me up to more confidence and self-actualization and...

    The Polly Roller Coaster

    Well, we made it through another whole weekend. 24/7 times 2.5, without incident. Has the tide turned, I wonder? We had a really wonderful weekend together... a little shopping, a little dining, a little golf, a little partying (er, actually, a lot) and a whole lotta gettin' it on! :eek: It...

    NRE (New Relationship Energy) - Merged Threads, General Discussion

    I think that the NRE confuses a lot of peeps too...is it love, lust, newness, whatever? As mentioned in my Intimacy versus Intenseness thread, it is the ENERGY that fuels the intense feelings....and I do think that people mistake this for intimacy. Just a 'deep thought' as a sidenote. P2

    On again---off again---on again???

    Wow, words to live by! Very cool. How many people have you tried this out on? Just couples, or all sorts? Male and female? Curious still.... Thanks for your candor! P2

    On again---off again---on again???

    TL, I read your posts and I have to just stop and wonder how you became so free. How you were not only able to get your mind around someone else loving your mate, but how you actively encourage it? Was it a process? Or were you always like that? Curious.... P2

    The Polly Roller Coaster

    So here is the phrase of the week, "Go slow. Be patient." :) Since our major implosion last week, we have slowed down on seeing each other, a lot, and it seems to be working. C and I Skyped last night for a while and it was the most open that I have seen her. She misses us both, she says. Yay...

    NRE versus Intimacy

    Well, I have waited long enough I suppose! ;) This whole NRE thing in this new quasi-triad thingy has been a trip. There is soooo much intensity in all the feelings (times 3) that all regular emotions seem to get distorted and confused. For me, that poem, at the beginning, paraphrasing, "I...

    What are the benefits to being in a poly relationship?

    YES,you are right...that is a BROAD generalization. I apologize. Dog knows that I do NOT have a typical women's brain....um....er....most of the time! ;)

    NRE versus Intimacy

    I recently was referred to a book, "The Dance with Intimacy", by Harriet Lerner. I have not bought it yet but managed to find a blurb online. I actually emailed the following to my hubby and C. Neither of them seemed to 'get' what I was trying to say by sending this. Please have a quick...

    What are the benefits to being in a poly relationship?

    Love it! Self knowledge...sometimes KNOWING nothing is better! I mean really...how much effort does one have to put into something, before they pick up their marbles and go home?? I am not saying that it is TIME for me to do that yet, but I can see it on the horizon. The books, the...

    What are the benefits to being in a poly relationship?

    I was talking about this very subject with a girlfriend (who knows) yesterday and we were talking about the 'woman' mind. She said that women just simply cannot help themselves....they want to believe in prince charming whisking them away, even though you tell them time and again, that it is...

    The Polly Roller Coaster

    You are GOOD, Anotherbo! ;) I am toying with the concept of unringing a bell, too. Man, I have dissected each possible feeling for her, trying to figure out WTF. While there very well may be some 'in love' pieces, the whole newness and lust thing play pretty huge into it, as well. I also wonder...

    The Polly Roller Coaster

    Sure, I will try to. RP, I wouldn't quite call it 'happiness' yet, although the rush of emotions seems to be leveling. I wonder if the new vitamins are really working! ;) lol The poster that I had on my bedroom closet for all my teenage years must have been true, "If you love something, let it...

    The Polly Roller Coaster

    And today, Monday, all seems stable. I am feeling that some of the NRE is quieting. It is an interesting phase now. Trying to be a little insightful, but at the same time happy to be able to focus on other things more. It's almost three months to the day of our first sexual encounter. Has it...

    The Polly Roller Coaster

    Thanks, Anotherbo. Your feedback was very useful to me this weekend. I had the 'two-pole scenario' on my mind a lot. Maybe awareness really does equal control. :) I had a super busy weekend with some volunteer stuff. However, Saturday evening, I came home to C cooking dinner with Hubby for me...
