poly

One of my favorite new blogs is the kinky, and also very well written and often quite touching, Twisted Monk.  Part of what fascinates me about this blog is the non-monogamous relationship enjoyed by Monk and his wife of almost 20 years, Tambo.  They are thoroughly committed to one another, and obviously share a deep and satisfying love, yet they both have other lovers and play partners.  As a twice-divorced woman, I'm pretty interested in exploring the different ways that people make lasting bonds with one another. Traditional marriage just doesn't seem to work for me.  Yet, I've never ventured into any other territory--my relationships, marriage or not, have all been (at least in theory) monogamous.  I'm thoroughly single right now, so it's not a pressing issue, but certainly one that's been on my mind.  Would I have the strength of character and maturity to share my beloved?  Have I been robbing myself of the potential for real happiness by trying to force myself into an outwardly prescribed mold that just isn't me?  Where would I even begin to find this kind of relationship?  Luckily, there are lots of resources right here on the good ol' internet, so I'll keep poking around to see what I can learn.  Meanwhile, some really cool kidlet that I know is turning six, and I'm itching to shoot some new fotos, and something about the longer days just makes me wanna get out and shake my groove thang.
