Change in all the areas of my life...

@Ostrich that was mostly tongue in cheek - guilt about the fact that I have two really _great_ guys, and there are people out there having to put up with bullshit (did you go look at the twitter thread?) seems sort of karmically unfair.

I'll check out the twitter feed. I get you, but you shouldn't feel guilty. It's unfair to yourself for comparing your situation with others. Just be happy that you have what you have! I am happy for you!

I never feel guilty that I have 2 great partners now. I feel somewhat miffed at myself for wasting so many years with one mono partner who really didn't deserve my wonderfulness!

Amusing situations that only happen in poly… but first some context. Knight and I eloped somewhat spontaneously 20 years ago. Seriously we got married the day we did because we failed at Valentine’s dinner plans, more or less, and then realized that we had not actually solved the problem of dinner, if anything made it more pressing…
Anyway we ended up at a local French place about two blocks from where we met which, miraculously, is still there 20 years later.
Going out to such a place on Valentine’s is clearly not a great plan - it’s amateur night! So we waited til Friday for our anniversary dinner.
Back to the funny…showing up for said romantic dinner reservation and finding that the maitre d’ is a dude that not only did I go on a terrible date with once (might not have been completely his fault, it was while I was rebounding _hard_ off Hipster Boy, or maybe even before we had completely split up) but Knight was play partners with his ex wife for a while. It wasn’t actually as awkward as it might have been, I mean after all we _are_ all quite used to the poly thing by now. But it was still one of those weird life moments…
