Bi, poly, trans woman. Software/network/research geek by trade. INFP at heart. Dreamer, creator, lover of all that grows and changes and a well reasoned argument. From New Orleans originally, also lived in FL and NYC. Mother to a 3yo son.
I'm in the midst of divorce, was in a balanced triad with my ex and M about 10 years ago. M passed away suddenly a few months ago, to my deep regret and sorrow, most of all because we hadn't spoken in years, and I don't think he knew how much I still felt for him.
Polyamory, for me, is as much how I conceptualize relationships as the number of them. I don't experience the traditional categorical distinction between friends and lovers, but more of a continuum of intimacy. That plus long periods of monogamy had lead to me isolating myself in my marriage. Participating here is one way I'm trying to turn that isolation around.
