Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

I thought that only happens if you kiss them while wearing a wet bathing suit.

That’s an old wives tale like how holding hands with an albino in the rain will keep you dry.

I thought holding hands with an albino gave you scabies.

I heard that it cured them.

One of us has been lied to.

Can we both agree that crushing their bones into powder and drinking a tea made from it improves virility.

Well, duh. Viagra is Esperanto for albino tea.

I can't think of Esperanto without also thinking of Red Dwarf. Bonvoro alsendi la pordiston, lausajne estas rano en mia bideo!

As I've said in passing on here before, me and the wife moved to an ethically nonmonogamous late last year. Now my wife and my girlfriend are ready to meet eachother and the idea, which I'm certain will go swimmingly, makes my heart pound like a jackhammer. I'm talking actual physical reaction. Looking forward to it intellectually, though. Life takes funny turns, doesn't it?

Wow, that's very avant. Hope the introduction goes well and moves everything along harmoniously and allows everyone to be happy.

Wow,. Best of luck. The rational side of me says this should all be fine if everyone is in board. Quite honestly sex should be more about everyone enjoying themselves as much as possible. Everyone has a good time and nobody feels bad about it.

If you don’t mind me asking did your wife ask to meet her or was that part of the arrangement?

We agreed, and it's generally considered good polyamory, that if one of us had a relationship that started getting serious, it'd make sense for people to meet. A big part of having a successful open relationship is over-talking to make sure there's as little confusion as possible - hours of checking that everyone understands properly and an agreement has been come to.

So does your wife have a boyfriend / girlfriend?

Not quite. A few casual partners.

Please feel free to ignore or tell me to mind my own business, SM, but was this philosophy something you both went into the marriage with or was is it something you figured out afterwards?

No, I'm more than happy to talk about it.

I was streaming Netflix with Niomie last year when she raised the idea of trying it out. My first thought was "I'm trying to watch Star Trek, why's this chick keep talking to me?" but I was happy to surprise her with a yes, let's see how it goes. I doubt I'd have been as amenable if a) I wasn't close to a poly couple in Kalamazoo or b) we didn't have nine years of solid, trusting foundation beneath us. It's had its challenges - we've both had to work on jealousy and possessiveness - but we've never felt so free and happy, and, maybe counterintuitively, so close. The opposite of jealousy is compersion, finding pleasure in your partner's joy and we cultivate that.

That's fascinating and wonderful. It must take a remarkable degree of individual and mutual confidence and reflection to make that work, and I hope (duh) that it succeeds and allows you both to feel like you're getting the most you can out of your lives.

Nothing more to add than I agree with this post. Hope all goes well with the upcoming meeting!
