I’ll share this in here as well as the non-mono subs need some positive stories too.

I am giddy and happy. My NRE-guy (for those who remembers that post) is now my boyfriend. And I haven’t had a boyfriend since I met my husband 24 years ago! Like me, my BF is married in an open relationship (yes, really, I’ve been in touch with his wife), and we share similar values and interests. He is handsome and funny, affectionate and romantic. He kisses me in public, and has introduced me to some of his friends.

I feel so blessed that I get to experience all the feels all over again, the butterflies and the daydreams, the silly smiles and the little jolts of joy when I get a Snap from him. All of this while still being happily married to a man who encourages me to lean into it and enjoy the new relationship energy.

I honestly thought these feelings were for the young; that I was getting too middle aged and jaded to have this new romance high again, but I was wrong.

I feel so grateful. And giddy and happy.
