Something I’ve realized lately: I don’t want to be anyone’s escape relationship. It makes me feel icky and kinda’ sad. In 2007 when I was dating the sous-chef, I know now that he was a total escape for me. Only 8 months into being open, Steph and I didn’t really know what we were doing – as . . . → Read More: Parachute I always fool myself into thinking that after the last epic conversation that Steph and I have, there won’t be anymore. And every time I do that, I’m wrong. Last weeks’ chat was a big one, and the focus was on sharing. Not of lovers, or bathroom time, but of our thoughts; what we’re thinking at any given moment. Over the years of being open I’ve found myself drawn to people who comment on the things they observe in life. Sometimes, like Don, they have amazing powers of observation and memory retention – (though I’m sure not always in his home life!!) and make me feel on top of the world by saying something they’ve noticed, or intuitively knowing the next move.

The reason for the fight was kind of unrelated (translation: I’m not discussing it) to what ended up being my takeaway. In the over a year since we’ve known each other, we’d talk often about making a date and I’d leave my schedule open or even cancel plans with people, only to find out that he wasn’t really making an effort as much as he’d say he wanted to. Not that I blame him; it’s not like navigating open relationships is the easiest thing to do! Recently I was asked to write a guest blog post for Met Another Frog, about the myths behind men cheating. Met Another Frog is geared to urban women and offers stories, social commentary and ‘edutainment’ about:
My challenge? Explain the myths behind men cheating. Read on, and let me know what you think. It’s not always easy. Though it’s not always hard. It can give you everything you’ve ever wanted. Sometimes a whole lot less. Sometimes a whole lot more. It can be about freedom and doing as you like, while on other days, hard compromise and sacrifice. You’ll work your ass off to communicate your wants. Your needs. Your desires. And along the way . . . → Read More: An Essay on Non-Monogamy Tonight I refused a threesome.
 We'd be sexier than this. Faster too! Me. Samantha. *Slut of the North with a love for both the boy and the girl parts said no to fucking Steph and Ruby. I have an incredibly vivid imagination and yet I cannot even find a mental closet to store my husband in for a little while! . . . → Read More: Fantasies: Confessions of a logic queen Since writing the post ‘Realizations: I Just Wanna’ Have Fun’ I’ve realized something. Where Steph has often cited cost and practicality for reasons that we don’t try new things, events, places, etc. … I’ve always – in my own mind – cited the need for sleep as a reason not to fuck. And as much as I . . . → Read More: Realization: My own practical demons I have a personal rule that I try to follow as much as possible. I don’t like to blog when I’m angry or emotional. I know I’ve done it in the past, but I highly prefer not because then I hit you folks with emotional diarrhea and I embarrass myself on the off chance that I . . . → Read More: Realizations – I just wanna' have fun Wait, isn’t that backwards? Sometimes though it seems perfectly normal in my household. Allow me to explain. This past Monday Steph had a first night with a gal he met on okCupid.
