“You come up in all of our poly discussions.” It’s funny how one can inadvertently become an example of something. In my case, it’s poly. G and I have considered ourselves poly for several years now – and because we have successfully navigated it – we have become an example of success we did not…

My Poly Reflections
I remember the epiphany that I was poly. I had found myself in yet another “relationship” where I cared for the person, loved who they were, and found moments of intimacy that went outside of the boundaries of swinging and open and kink.

A Poly Complication?

Week in Review
What a crazy week! While I was away from the office last week, I got a call from my boss asking if I had any interest in taking over the integration project. That PM had accepted a project to oversee a huge project with many project managers. They had been looking for her replacement when…
Right vs. Easy
Right is not always easy and easy is not always right. I remember hearing that phrase for the first time in a parenting blog or something. I related to it because, well, at the time, I was doing hard things because it was right. Who knew it would apply to polyamory as well. I did…
