Polyamory – Page 7 – Poly Nirvana

~Swing~

Over the weekend, Special Man and I were in a Dollar Store picking up party supplies, for a “Day of the Dead” themed event I hosted in my home on Saturday night. I’m not sure how we got on the subject of compersion, of all things, as we walked down the medicine aisle, but heContinue reading “~Swing~”

~Politics~

This morning I had a small explosion of page views on a post from about six months ago, titled “Five Things Your Metamour Wants You To Know”. I was surprised, but the internet is unpredictable, and I was happy to see it pop up again, as it is the inspiration for one of the sessionsContinue reading “~Politics~”

~Unblocking~

Today SMF teased me a little about slacking on my writing. It’s nice to know that he keeps an eye on my blog, and is interested in reading what I write. It also blocks me sometimes, from writing things I might share if I was truly anonymous. I almost always work through it though, generallyContinue reading “~Unblocking~”

~Spoken~

I choked. Special Man and I were at dinner with Dad and his long-term girlfriend. And I was emotional and not feeling well; I had all but decided to let things go for another conversation, another day. After all, why did Dad need to know anything about my alternative relationship structure? Who the hell cared?Continue reading “~Spoken~”

~Patriarch~

My dad grew up in an unhappy, sometimes violent, certainly emotionally abusive family. His father essentially abandoned his family when my dad was 16. He left for another woman, with whom he’d had an affair and subsequently married. My dad swore he would never ever do that to his children, or to the mother ofContinue reading “~Patriarch~”

~Sheriff~

So I drove five and a half hours last week, to Bend, Oregon for a date with a man I had never met in person. This is not something I would typically do, but there were a few different reasons I wanted to do this. The Sheriff and I connected through OKCupid. He is smartContinue reading “~Sheriff~”

~Absorb~

Metamour. Is this even a real word? Language evolves to meet the needs of a society or community as it changes over time. When I Google Metamour definition, the first thing that pops up is an entry on Urban Dictionary. Next you will find a plethora of polyamory related web pages, in fact the 11thContinue reading “~Absorb~”

~Burn~

Last night, after dinner out with friends, a margarita and a few bites of Special Man’s Cancun Platter, I sat with him on my bed as he went through his laptop and compiled a list of music to make a CD for me to take with me on a quick road trip. He was doingContinue reading “~Burn~”

Dear Potential Partner (girlfriend, boyfriend, fling, hook-up, or play partner) of Any of My Partners or other Persons Important To Me, Current or Future: When our paths cross, I will shake your hand, and smile and be honestly pleased to meet you. I am sure that there are lots of good things about you, thingsContinue reading “~Twitch~”

~Wednesday~

Tonight is a local poly meet-up in my medium-sized city, and I’m looking forward to some grown-up time with interesting people. At the same time, I’m just a little bit burned out. There’s such a small poly presence in my town, and I’m stuck, not knowing how to reach out to other like-minded people. IfContinue reading “~Wednesday~”
