    Dating looks like a nightmare. I told my husband we have to be immortal so I never have to date again.

      Oh, gawd, it’s a special kind of hell. My partner and I were ENM when we met, but mutually decided we preferred monogamy (long story). Over the past summer, we decided to dip our toes back into having sidepieces. And our tolerance for modern dating bullshit lasted all of three weeks.

      We’re not monogamous because of societal norms; we’re monogamous because of zero tolerance for the state of dating. 😆

        Everyone out there has to compete against stability and comfort and deep rich connection. Standards too high? Hardly! Standards are just high enough.
