at dinner tonight at the poly potluck--the first one i have ever gone to--some acquaintances were present with friends. the man was in a new relationship with a woman who was there with her husband and the poly man--because this couple was brand new to poly--kept talking about how lucky they were, how they three of them had become a family, and how the two men both loved this woman so much and she loved them.
now whatever you think of polyamory aside, take note that I sat there alone at this dinner, with people I did not know, most of whom I did not find particularly appealing or friendly, and tears started in my eyes because they had each other and at that moment I felt like I had no one
.
i have to get better at asking for what I want
And making sure I get it.
