Outed!

[Lemondrop]

Soooo...wife #2 and I met at a homeschool co-op we belong to. She was on the phone with one of the other members, whom I'll call M, last night and made a comment about things being crazy in her life and maybe someday she'd tell M about it. M apparently said, "Oh do you mean about the polyamory thing? Oh we've all known about it for a year and we're all okay with it."

A year? We've only known for sure ourselves for about a month. I wish they would have told us. I guess we've been outed!

So it was obvious to everybody else that you were gonna end up together before it became obvious to you? That's a tale to polish up for the grandchildren.

Definitely! I guess we all put out vibes and didn't know. It sure explains some things that the other moms have been giggling about! But I've also been thinking, wow, how wonderful that our friends could accept it without even being asked!

People are often more "intuitive" than we give them/us credit for.

AMEN!! We were so surprised when we told our friends about our lifestyle. Didn't lose a single one! Some don't get it, but they at least respect it and accept it. That's really all I could ask for.

luckily we (well my BF and GF1 and me) are involved in another alternative lifetyle as well - but since i've only been on the scene with them the last couple of months - we still odd looks from some of our friends - especially when like GF1 and me will be at one event with him and GF2 and GF1 another event (this happened last week as i was down for the count with a migraine).
