It’s interesting that some people talk about ploy like the relationship is doomed to fail- as if anything that is more than just two people will ‘always’ crumble. I feel like it is hard for people looking at polycule from the outside to understand how that sort of relationship structure could possibly be stable. The... Continue Reading →
I know I am not alone in feeling like I am not very special to someone sometimes. It’s like the ordinary routine settles in and sometimes you just feel like part of the furniture to your partner- or whomever in your life. I have been feeling that way a little with E lately. I been... Continue Reading →
I think the people have the better end of the deal, sure there’s three of them like there is three of us but they don’t suffer like I do. They have thumbs, they can open the fridge when ever they want. They don’t have to wait if they don’t want too. But I have to... Continue Reading →
L sits on the couch playing a video game. I watch for a while as they try and pick butterflies out of the air then fight off a wolf pack by shooting flames from their lizard character’s hands. This is pretty standard. It's a staple game in our house. My goal in the game is... Continue Reading →

So we had some interesting family experiences recently and now that I think about them after the fact I feel both surprised and confounded. They also remind me of how unique our relationships really are. L travels for work on occasion and recently their travels took them to my home city, Denver, where 95% ish... Continue Reading →
A and I agree on things. And we disagree on things. We agree that coffee is worth more to us than any other liquid (‘sept water… cuz you need water to make coffee.) We disagree on the show Friends (she loves it, I would rather watch a dog lick itself.) Generally though, the only way... Continue Reading →
For reference my cousin and her husband are monogamous. My cousin is A and her husband is K. To my horror, they were fighting over the greatest game on earth - Baseball! Ok, so the fight wasn't specifically about baseball, just about tickets to the home team’s season opener. K had tickets for him and... Continue Reading →
E and I went to a poly brunch / discussion group and an interesting point came up. There are some people who are poly hings in the group and they all sort of said that if you are a poly person you should NOT do two things. Do not date people who do not date... Continue Reading →
