Just a quick note to jot down topics to discuss later - when I am feeling bloggy: MrClean - just off of hiatus, "doggus interuptus" Waif - MrS's foray into being a White Knight, "problem child", SEP

I always struggle with these quizes - are they asking how I feel vs. how I act vs. how people view me? Me now vs. me throughout my life? For instance: question about avoiding responsibility - I grew up being hyper-responsible, oldest child and my parents trusted me and I wanted to live up to...

OMG I want to touch the puppy! (I am currenly dog-sitting a husky with my mastiff, Monday I am dog-sitting an asshole of a tiny terrier and a pittie...I love all of the cuddles, ALL of the time!

I love that you are reassuring Rainee re: love!

I always love your advice GG but just wanted to point out:. The compromise can make many shapes. MrS is much more comfortable if I DON'T talk about my poly thoughts and feelings, he finds it exhausting, he would rather just hear my conclusions and discuss those objectively, just having me...

Thank you for reminding me to put this on my Bucket List as well - the videos are mesmerizing!!!

My husband agrees that Green Tea KitKats are delicious - he has not had Milk Tea KitKats but is inclined to think that they would be delightful. (I predict a rise in our internet-fueled KitKat budget as of right STAT now!) JaneQ PS. He scored a mixed bag of Japanese flavored candies somewhere...

Took the survey - I didn't know how to answer some of the question, it seemed to be asking not just about me but my (current/past/future) partner's willingness - I can only really speak to my own.. Also, the questions seemed to ask two things, but only allowed one answer. Willing to A but only...

:LOL: - Yes...did you not know you had a poly-doppelganger?!!:ROFLMAO: I was typing up a much longer reply (as usual) and decided to save it for a blog post...solo poly appeals to me, MrS would rather not have to deal with living with a poly person, we will figure stuff out...

"Marriage changes things..." "Sex changes things..." Conventional wisdom - which does hold some truth in terms of personal and societal expectations. I wrote in my blog a long time ago ( 10 years apparently) about the subtle difference it made to me after I married MrS (almost 26 years ago!)...

Umm... While I agree with DingedHeart that mis-interpreting the safer sex rule to apply only to sex workers is not really plausible...but - If you told him to find a girlfriend, then why would he NOT think an ACTUAL GIRLFRIEND?!?! (not necessarily bringing her to your shared house but...

My introduction to the idea of poly came from reading old Heinlein novels as a kid (it wasn't called poly then) and a fascination with folkrock and the historical1960s counter-culture movements and writings of that period. I have only recently come to appreciate some sub-genres of EDM and...

It does! Making the conscious decision to only agree to do things, take responsibility for things, participate in things that you have chosen for yourself - is incredibly liberating. It is useful to recognize that if "no" isn't an acceptable answer, then the person wasn't actually asking you a...

I do not consider my self to be a spiritual person, more of a practical philospher. :sneaky: I am drawn to concepts of mindfullness, mind-body awareness (such as yoga), living a life of intention and authenticity, voluntary simplicity. Writings on secular buddhism often strike a chord...

Yay to "good day"s!!! (I had one, too!)

Hello and Welcome! Read, ask, share as you feel comfortable. Excited but nervous is a perfectly reasonable place to be starting from. How far along are you in the process of Disentangling? If you haven't come across this concept previously, this article is a good place to start...

Poly/Mono - this one is easy - I'm poly. Whether I am in one relationship, no relationships, or multiple relationships - I was poly before that word was accepted in the common lexicon - I was poly before I had romantic feelings for anyone - I was poly before I had sex - I realized I was poly...

Observations of myself: Cis/Trans - my gender-assigned-at-birth and my gender-identity match, so I am a cis-female - my gender-identity is not particularly important to me and feels more like an accident of biology * I am fine with the body I live in, it's mine, I use it to enjoy certain...

I know I have pondered on this before...but, in updating my sig I am, yet AGAIN, contemplating labels - not because labels themselves are important (I think that they are just short-hand - if it comes into play IRL then an actual conversation has to happen) but because I think that contemplating...

Yay!!! HAPPYYY!!! So glad to here that things are coming together for you so well! JaneQ
