Hi there!

I'm Cowboybird. 40/M/Pan/Demi/Cis (Jesus that looks like a lot of acronyms when I type it out). At the moment, I'm disabled due to a serious back injury and act as my home's primary caretaker. My partner has one child who calls me dad (I'm not the kid's bio parent, but damned if I didn't bawl like a baby and claim them as my own when they asked if they could call me dad).

For the record, I'm in a poly relationship in which my current partner (30s/NB/Ace/Pan) has one other partner (30s/M/Cis/Bi/mono). My partner and I co-habitate. I am personally not conflicted or bothered at the thought of having another partner- or my partner having another partner (He's a good guy, though we aren't close).

At the moment, however, I believe I need to do some necessary work on myself and focus on my current relationship before I can ethically consider any relationship more complicated than a friendship...Though I would love to make some friends if I could. I'm hoping that I can learn from you all and find new avenues in which to grow as a parent, partner, and person.

Nice to mee y'all!

Ex-wife, but cheeses diced, man.

Thank you so much for the welcome and resources! I've been doing a lot of browsing at the moment. I figure I ought to learn the right way to say things and focus on asking good questions for now, but I'm hoping some friends and insight will come my way in time.

Don’t fret too much about the knowledge you don’t have yet. We’re pretty friendly and won’t judge harshly because you haven’t learned the jargon yet.

Yay friends and perspective!
