I came across this writing defending married men who lie, but it could just as easily have said, “Dear humanity,” instead of “Dear married men.” I do not judge the lie,We are taught to hide—To shrink ourselves, to mask our truth,To live in shadows, small and quiet. But there is a price we pay for […]

Toxic positivity. Freaking everywhere. I don’t even know where to begin to handle the problem. I hear a lot of people say, “If I did let my relationship become non monogamous, my partner would leave me.” A lot of people will tell them, “No, no that’s not what ENM is about! That’s not what will

Brown paper packages tied up with string, Balenciaga bags, Christian Louboutin heels, oh, these are a few of my favorite things! Such luxuries can be nice. A comfort in hard times.
