While I haven’t had much time to write lately, I did have some time to be interviewed.

Read my interview, and accompanying story in this Saturday’s Weekend Post, by Zosia Bielski.

Click here for the article.

A few items as follow up:

  • Steph’s not a Fraser, as much as I tried to convince him that my last name is completely awesome. He’s a Goulet, and likes to remind me by imitating Will Ferrell imitating Robert Goulet whenever he finds the time.
  • We aren’t just considering the possibility of outside partners. It’s something that can happen at any time. Sometimes there’s other people, other times, not. Ebbs and flows, my friend.
  • Weekends being reserved exclusively for us, and no sleepovers, are guidelines that we *usually* follow, but lately with the couple that we have been seeing, we often adjust those slightly as they live just up the road, and well … it just works with them!

Thanks to Zosia for pushing her editors to get over their cold feet and finally put the article out there.

For anyone who has come here after reading the article, welcome! For everyone who’s here often, thank you.

    Interesting the paper’s editor was reluctant to publish the story; the underlying theme of ‘it’s okay but certainly not for everyone’ was calm and rational, according to my (somewhat biased in the positive) view.

    [...] I was published in the National Post, finally, after weeks of waiting for the story to come out. (Read that here if you haven’t already.) Between Steph, work and S, there wasn’t really much time to focus on anything else. Though, [...]

    Samantha, I’m glad you’ve found a situation that works for you and your partner. I would like to warn you that now is the time to make sure the boundaries you have set are imposed rather than shirked. It is a slippery slope (pardon the pun) since the new couple lives so close. You may find you need those boundaries more now than ever.
