Life seems to be a constant series of twists and turns. There are days I wish that it would just go straight and smooth for a little while, then I realize how boring that would become and change my mind rather quickly. I’m not fond of boring.
I’m female, married, currently pandemic induced monogamous. My husband is male and hopefully not forever monogamous. I realize how odd that sounds sometimes, I have what most people want, a faithful husband who loves and supports me in all my crazy goals and dreams. However, I fully realize that I am more than a little ambitious, overly dedicated to many causes that are not necessarily “his thing”, and find many of his preferred activities rather boring. In short, my idea of a great vacation is a week in the woods in primitive conditions and his is a week touring art museums or playing on the beach. I would love for him to find a second companion who shared more of his interests.
I make it sound like we are strangers in our marriage, which is not true. We are very much in love, very much best friends and partners in crime, and very much planning permanence in each other’s futures. But I would feel very selfish having another partner and feeling like he was sitting alone at home…
I have a long background in poly, most of it rather horrible. There will be stories later, that is the looking back part. He was in a V, tried to make it an N, and wound up single. Again, there will be stories. In spite of the past issues, I truly believe poly can be good and right. I’ve seen plenty of proof of this in the relationships of my friends. I have full faith that we can figure it out (if only COVID will go the hell away and let my life get back to normal) because we have a strong relationship and great communication skills.
I realize that this is more of an intro than a blog at this point (although a good blog must include an intro at some point), but I started here instead of the introductions thread because I welcome feedback and comments, and it seems like this is the thread for that. I’m hoping I find a great community of like minded individuals here.
Well, this seems like a good place to close today. Otherwise I may very well run on all night and tell my whole life story in one sitting. That would be sad, because it would leave me nothing to talk about tomorrow…
