Hello! I was active here in the spring of 2010 for a blip-- Looking back over my posts I'm totally mortified at what a know-it-all self-serious patronizing earnest self-absorbed persona I had in most of my posts. haha.

Lots of humbling experiences since then.

Anyway, I'm glad the forum is still here and I look forward to reading up on what's been happening for everyone.

Greetings Peter,
Glad to have you back with us. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Life has a way of humbling us. I know I've come to regret many of my past actions. :( But we learn from these things, and that's a good thing.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Notes:

There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!

Please read through the guidelines if you haven't already.

Note: You needn't read every reply to your posts, especially if someone posts in a disagreeable way. Given the size and scope of the site it's hard not to run into the occasional disagreeable person. Please contact the mods if you do (or if you see any spam), and you can block the person if you want.

If you have any questions about the board itself, please private-message a mod and they'll do their best to help.

Welcome back!
 
anyway, I am in a solid partnership with a remarkable woman and we've talked at length about non-monogamy and polyamory in the past few years and began our adventure together explicitly acknowledging that we were not interested in an exclusive dyad or in doing things in any way "the way we had already done them." Which in itself is a long but fairly scripted story for me anyway.

Recently an opportunity came up for her to revisit a lover of hers from 12 years ago-- a very strong connection but never an "official" relationship, circumstances always interfering, etc.

So now we are actually practicing nonmonogamy and poly and it's been interesting for me experiencing the reality rather than the hypothetical. It's been such a new development (about 10 days) and I am feeling a high degree of sexual jealousy, for example, which I have not felt in a long time, maybe 20 years.

Fortunately there is a lot of communication going on. I find I tend to undercommunicate. so we are really making as much time as we can to talk things out.

that's it in a nutshell. hope everyone is well.
