Trip / relationship stuff
An interesting thing that happened on this trip is that we got to meet Abe's sister's girlfriend (she's new to poly but her and her husband are trying to make it work). It was very interesting to talk to her about her experiences w/ that stuff even if briefly. She seemed excited to be able to discuss it at all, and they were both so full of NRE. I felt very old and wizened by time, haha.

I feel sometimes like coming out online as poly in 2013 put me just enough ahead of the curve that I've been a sounding point for a lot of folks about it, which is interesting! I love talking to people about their new relationships because you kind of get a contact high off their NRE (new relationship energy) and how excited they are to have discovered a relationship model that works and supports their needs.

I probably seem like it proselytize for polyam a lot which is maybe true. It is the thing that made my life start to click and my relationship with Abe has helped define the last five years in a really meaningful way that I would have been (more of) a mess without. Therian is the person I built my life around but the amount of strength and conviction I can draw from Abe and how firmly he believes in my worth as a person & a partner is impossible to adequately describe.
