I’m personally fairly skeptical about polyamory in general, though you can’t argue with what works for a given person - just strikes me as an arrangement that wouldn’t be successful for most.
But in the past, DrkGntly has mostly discussed swinging, which is a slightly different issue. Falling in love with the girl-of-the-moment seems like a very bad idea, especially if it results in mawkish missives like this one.
Dude, contractions are your friend! It’s like a love letter written by Data.
More seriously: even if your girlfriend were Amish and never turned on a computer in her life, IMHO it’s not cool to betray the trust and privacy implicit in a relationship, even if you don’t “get caught.”
Then again, we may have different POVs on the whole trust/relationship concept. :dubious:
Yeah, isn’t that the name of the condition where you lose all your body hair?*

Felecia? Sounds a bit like felatio.
Man, if this undying love for someone else besides your spouse is a result of a bent towards swinging, I’m glad I’ve never been part of that scene. It would totally fuck me up.
Hoo boy.
DirkGently, for what it’s worth, I think you should take this letter to a therapist and talk to him or her about how you’re feeling. I don’t think posting the letter here was a bad idea and I’m in no place to comment on your marriage or love life, but talking things over for a little while–especially when they seem as tangled up as this–never hurts.
One suggestion, instead of
Astro, I love you.
Thanks **Dirk]/b], I don’t know if I have enough sap left in my branches to write one of these things anymore. I’m saving it as a form letter and I’ll just replace names.
Not making fun of ya Dirk, know where you’re coming from. Better to be you than the cynic I’ve become.
and the dirk gently
slips the ribs- breath stolen sharp
heart’s resignation
Wow, astro, I think I love you too.
In a non-sexy way, of course.
As far as the OP: You started losing me at ‘pine,’ ‘lovemaking’ made me skip the rest of the paragraph, and you totally lost me at ‘shall.’ Other than that, I’m in no position to critique.
Well, since this thread has hit as close to a trainwreck status as is possible for MPSIMS (and still be kept here), I’m closing it down.
