i've wandered into the spaces of polyamorous relationships. here i am, and it's working, so far, i think. a lot of talking, a lot of compassion, a lot of patience and A LOT of love.
i'm the third one in the relationship, if you look at it that way. we've been trying to have time all together every so often, but mostly it is just the two of them or the two of us. and now i am experimenting with my own capacity to date more than one person because i've become involved with someone else. that is a whole different experience, and i'm not sure how i am about it, how i feel about it. it seems like i've been open and honest and embracing and it has--at least for now--created this amazing balance of serendipidous time and i think all of us are amazed at how well it is going. part of me is waiting for the crash, at least on the end of the second person i am dating. dating? i guess we haven't used that word, yet. in the serious relationship i think it is so different from my previous experiences with this (among a million other reasons) because we are checking in for real and focusing on us all not any one of us more than the other. and i am communicating directly with both of them. so good! i am in love with the universe, and so grateful. where has all my jealousy gone?
