Obviously Tuesday was awful.

Wednesday, I dropped my phone and shattered the screen. It was also just a really shitty day at work. My boyfriend came over that night to watch stand-up, eat ice cream, and let me shop for new bedroom furniture for him. I’m getting my own nightstand for “my” side of the bed! 🥰🥰🥰 (We’re not nesting partners.)

Then Friday, we spent all day texting about how much we were looking forward to our date later that night but I discovered my beloved pet frog dead in her tank. I was a wreck and he was the first person I called. We planned a funeral for her and decided she’d be buried at his house since he took care of her over the summer. My husband, my kids, and I showed up that evening to find he had already dug a hole, made a cross for her grave, and wrote a beautiful eulogy. 😭

We still had our date that night and it was filled to the brim with love and laughter. He also helped me get things in order for me to set up my new phone.

Last night, he and my husband hung out for several hours playing video games in their matching Taylor Swift hoodies (I have one too I just wasn’t invited 😝).

And tonight my household went to his place to grill burgers and watch a movie. We all sat snuggled up on his huge couch, eating popcorn, and cuddling. It was the perfect end to what could have been a pretty catastrophic week.

I’m still angry as shit about the state of the country and gutted about not having my sweet baby frog (she was actually super old) but having so much love in my life makes things feel doable. I can’t remember what it was like before I had my boyfriend. He’s just as much part of my family as I am of his. We’re planning the holidays and future parties together. My husband and I don’t have any blood relatives where we live but that’s ok because he’s my kids’ funcle, my husband’s best friend, and my partner for life. We’ve shown each other this week (and over the last year and a half) that whatever happens in the future, we’ve got each other.

There have been so many times when I felt polyamory wasn’t for me but this is one of those moments im thankful for the abundance it’s brought me. Thank you for reading and I hope polyamory is bringing you abundance as well. I know we can all use love and happiness right now. 💜💜💜
