After 7 years of being single, I was FINALLY asked out by a coworker, now we've been together since mid-April. I also recently started dating someone I've been really close friends with for a few years now. I know they would get along really well if they both weren't so politically polarized from eachother because they are both geeky. My partner that I've been seeing since April is intelligent and sweet, but he says some things that not only rub me the wrong way, but would definitely send my other partner into fight mode. My long time friend, she's VERY political and has been involved in a few radical poliical orgs, she will go to TOWN on him if he says some things that I know he has a habit of saying. And like the only reason I put up with some of the stuff he says, is because I know he means well, I talk to him about it and he's trying to learn how to be better and already has made progress in trying to be a better human, but it's definitely not enough to where I know those 2 could meet at any point yet and not end up wanting to have a yelling match with eachother.

It sucks, because I would like them to meet at some point. It's kind of harder to do solo poly than kitchen table poly because with kitchen table, you can all just hang out with eachother and it's not a big deal, you don't have to schedule around everybody else's schedules so much.
