Here we go again. My partner Romeo and I are trying to be ENM again. That’s ethically non-monogamous, if you didn’t know.  What on Earth would possess me to open this can of worms again? It’s a good question.  The last time we went down this road was a little over two years ago, and… Continue reading This is a story about a tiger.

I was talking about polyamory the other day with my partner, Romeo. We were discussing the things we liked about it, and the things we didn’t. We talked about the fact that we are no longer polyamorous, and the reality of how that choice is still and will probably always be challenging for me.  In… Continue reading Acceptance of loss.

Since my last post, things have gotten better with Romeo. Our relationship has continued to grow stronger, and Romeo has worked hard at his own growth as a partner. Several months ago, I told him about an attitude I try to embrace as a partner myself, which is that every day I try to give… Continue reading Reasons to stay.

It’s been five months since my last post. It’s been six months since I had to make the choice between my partner and polyamory, because he decided he couldn’t be with me anymore if we weren’t monogamous. I chose to stay with him and commit to a life with him as my only partner. Looking… Continue reading Six months later.

Story time is back! For a one-time special event, that is. I have one more story to tell, from the very end of my poly journey. As I explained in my last blog post, I have chosen to commit to a monogamous relationship with my partner, Romeo. Even though we met through polyamory, and he… Continue reading This is the story of the one who got away.

The past few weeks have been a wild roller-coaster. Buckle up, because this is going to be a long one. (Like, seriously long.) Where do I start? It all began when Romeo brought up polyamory. Throughout our relationship, we have casually discussed our choice to be monogamous, at least for a season, and the possibility… Continue reading To Poly or Not to Poly

As of yesterday, Romeo and I have been together for seven months and cohabitating for one. We’ve seen each other every day and spent every night together for over two months. I can confidently say that our NRE or “new relationship energy” stage is over and we’ve settled into our new normal together. I’ve been… Continue reading Are We Out of the Woods Yet?

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. Life has been busy, and changing very quickly in big ways. Romeo and I have been together for over five months now, and we are about to become nesting partners. I moved out of my house where I lived with my husband in January, and got… Continue reading Marry Me, Romeo

Dear Romeo, Where to start? You wrote me a letter tonight, and I thought it was only fair to respond. As you said, it has been 120 days since we met, and neither of us had any idea what was to come when that first conversation began. Neither of us could have imagined this love… Continue reading Dear Romeo

Love is such an awesome thing. It’s the reason for life, really. It’s the thing that gives life meaning. It’s the ultimate goal, to love and be loved. And at first glance, you may think I’m just talking about romantic love, but I’m actually not! See the amazing thing about love is that it comes… Continue reading Love Is Love
