    She was so excited. The same way someone would look at a close friend excited to gush about a new partner.

    That’s cute. I’ve been with my girlfriend for almost two years now but while she has had other partners our entire relationship, I’m only now trying to find another partner and truly trying to be poly myself. There’s been a part of my lizard brain that feels like I’m cheating on her, but she’s been super supportive and it’s really helped me stay at the grim task of getting back into the dating field.

      Just remember: cheating isn’t bad because you’re sleeping with other people, cheating is bad because you’re betraying the trust of your partner. If you’re open and honest about everything, you’re not cheating.

      Dating sucks. My wife was my second partner and we were together nearly 16 years by the time we opened things up. I’d forgotten how crazy dating is. It really unlocks a level of anxiety id forgotten about.
