On being a monogamouse

[madamexdeficit]

Simply to save me having to explain this twenty odd times, and also because of my compulsion to 'make things official', I wanted to offer a brief explanation of our current relationship status.

Bob and I are basically trying something we're referring to as 'relaxed monogamy' or 'monogamy with room to maneuver'. We are, at least for the time-being

I thought it was just you who was exclusively dating Bob - or have he and Suz broken up?

Bob and Sus broke up about a week or so ago. Sorry, the gossip chain must be a bit slow. All is well though - the whole thing was relatively drama-free. x

Ah, right. It might be gossip-chain slowness but, more likely, my complete absence from said chain.

Actually, no, it was a bit longer than that - it was right before the Soiree. Around the same time we had a Big Relationship Talk with bullet-points and everything, and this is where we ended up. x

it all sounds 100% sensible to me. relationships are complicated, it makes sense to talk about expectations and feelings regularly.

Thanks. We're dead happy with how things are. It's basically just that when we started seeing each other, the setup we had made sense, and now this does. I'm all for this regularly checking in to discuss how we're doing business. xxx
