I realized I needed a list of people on the blog to keep you up to date with the current cast of characters in my life.
All names, except mine and my husband’s have been changed to protect their privacy and ‘cos nicknames are fun.
- Samantha – This one’s easy … it’s me!
- Steph – my lovable, cute, dancing husband. Most of my posts involve him in some fashion; whether I’m singing his praises or wanting to murder him. You likely know who he is already.
- The Drapers, Betty & Don – Our other wife and husband. These guys are our family and we spend a lot of time with them. We have plenty of ups and downs, but we remain solid. Their intuition, and non-traditional, yet traditional ways are why we heart them so much.
- Harvey – my longest relationship (?) since being open. He’s married, cheating & introduced me, through his own experimentation, to the psychology behind BDSM. Our relationship is mainly as friends, that are sometimes more. It’s simple, it’s complicated, it’s wrong but there it is. He says he’s happy to just be in a bit player in my life.
- Kitty – a lovely gal that lives too far away with her awesome daughter and husband, who’s currently in Afghanistan most of the time. I used to think I was a unique flower until I met her and now I’m constantly amazed at how alike, yet different we are.
- Ruby: A new inked, colorful gal that Steph and I both met together. She’s well experienced in poly relationships, is kinky, girly, tough and full of amazing stories. Plus she bought me flowers.
- Crystal: The gal up the road that Steph is friends with? Dating? So far just friends with. I’m not sure how I feel about her yet as she has no open relationship experience and we’re both pretty wary of that.
- Paula: The first girl Steph was seriously involved with. When I had a serious breakup I asked him to stop seeing her in 2007 because I needed him. Their relationship was rocky but now they’re great friends.
- James: 1/2 of the first couple we ever dated back in 2006 (alas, no longer friends)
- L: James wife’ (also alas, no longer friends)
- S: The boy half of the Kids that broke up with me in 2008
- M: The girl that asked him to.
Plus more girls and boys from the past.
