Relationships are HARD, yo!

It’s true. Relationships ARE hard … um, yo. It doesn’t matter if you’re dating or married or long-distance, dealing with another person (or people) while trying to live one life together with different personalities can be really, really challenging. Whether you love/fuck other people or remain monogamous, the grass can often appear so much greener on any other side compared to the one you’re on.

But is it really?

Men Only Cheat When…

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:

  • dating and relationships
  • love
  • sex
  • achieving personal satisfaction on one’s own terms

My challenge? Explain the myths behind men cheating.

Read on, and let me know what you think.

Realizations – I just wanna' have fun

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

Working on a change

I’m working on changing this site a teensy bit. While during my first 3 years of non-monogamy I was discovering and learning new lessons very often, that phase has slowed down a bit and now we are just living our lives.

So in order to be able to share thoughts on things that aren’t always related to . . . → Read More: Working on a change

Five years and counting

It’s my five year wedding anniversary today. Normally Steph and I don’t really bother with our wedding anniversary but this year is different. We’ve realized that there’s a lot of really great people in our lives – some who have been in our bed, and some who haven’t – that we didn’t know at the time . . . → Read More: Five years and counting

Pwning, Part II

As the God fearing character “Manny” returns to tell us we’re all doing bad things on Sexie Sadie’s blog, I couldn’t help but comment back at him and since I wrote so much I wanted to share with all of you!

Here’s his latest comment, and you can read mine below. Fun with God and open relationships!

According to virgins …

Driving along today downtown I saw a Virgin Mobile billboard that simply said;

We’re into open relationships.

It was an ad for their ‘no contract’ agreement. I would have taken a phone pic of it but I had to pay attention to the road after all.

Whatever it was for, it certainly made me think. I’m starting to notice . . . → Read More: According to virgins …

Under One Roof

Over the past few years as Steph and I have gone through different dating situations, we have always discussed the pipe dream of living with those we’re fucking. Triad relationships, two couples living in the same house; these are all things that sound good in theory, and hey, who knows what the future will hold for . . . → Read More: Under One Roof

The Run-In

It’s a hazard of this open marriage lifestyle, but living in the seemingly big, but actually relatively small city of Toronto and having dated quite a number of boys and girls over the past few years I am bound to run into someone sooner or later.

I’ve had some random run-ins over the past few years. Luckily, . . . → Read More: The Run-In

Ooh! A piece of candy!

I’ve accepted over the years that there are some people who will see me, and others in open relationships as a sort of ‘novelty’. I’ve slept with enough men – and women – who have gotten off on the idea that I’m married that the novelty of that novelty has somewhat worn off for me.
