Another guest post from my friend, Kitty. She and her husband J have recently opened up their marriage, after years of being monogamish. Her journal posts are so raw and full of both joy and slight sadness, with a side of “I GOT this.” that I always feel connected to her when I read them. . . . → Read More: Guest Post: Meeting “Her” Recently, two of our dear friends decided to make the leap from their mostly monogamous marriage into open relationship territory.

How they affect us, shape who we are, and direct our actions. How some people are crippled by shame or a lack of confidence, while others soar either because of or in spite of them.

I had been working around the clock every day, every weekend, almost every minute, for months and I was existing in a temporary depression.
