It's not spring yet

[serene]

Someone I love is newly in love with someone I like a whole lot. Other people I love and/or like are *poing*ing all over the place, too.

I have a benign kind of envy -- one that has no element of wishing they didn't have the yummy NRE to savor, but kind of wishing I had some, too.

Then again, I am four years into the most satisfying relationships of my entire life, so really, if anything I'm saying sounds like a complaint to you, think again.

I just wanted to let you know (again) how much I value your presence on my friends page.

I'm about to explore loving more than one person again, and I have been surprised at the number of judgments that I have made against myself. I never have problems with other people being polyamorous, but when it comes to me, I seem to judge myself all over town.

Reading your joyful, honest, and strong accounts of your relationships always helps me to remember that polyamory is a viable and often beautiful option, and that we all deserve to be happy - even me!

Just wanted to thank you for what you contribute to my life through your sharing of your life.]

Love,
Jennifer

I miss the NRE blast-off myself, but not enough to pursue something just for the NRE. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very open to something new and gasp-worthy. :-)

Four years into a loving, stable relationship is very impressive. Happy love day to you today!

I think I'm tired. The idea of NRE (for *myself*, let me point out!) makes me cringe.

I'm 30 years into one very wonderful relationship, and 18 years (on and off and back on) into two others. I love the status quo, and the sure and certain knowledge that only death is going to change it. It's weird, and I don't discount the idea that my attitude may change, but I think I'm done.

I'm enjoying watching the NRE sizzle between a couple of my favorite people as well. No benign envy for me right now, though -- on the contrary, with the chaos going on in other parts of my life, I look at them dealing with butterflies and roller coasters and I'm enormously relieved that my love life is stable and strong and calm. And really hot, nonetheless. :)

Next spring, though, who knows? I do so love polyamory.

Yeah, I want to sip from that NRE well as well.

However C and I just lean into each other and go "Awwww" at each other, as we remember our NRE.

Um - poing! I'm 12ft deep in NRE to share ...

hehe

I know what you are talking about. I think. Caus I think one of those is right here in my house atm.

And yes... I could use some of that too. And like you: I'm not complaining!
I like the way you put things in words. I like you. But you must have known that before :)

i love reading about other people's NRE, whether or not i have any of myself (haven't had any since the *poing* and my r'ship changed from friendship to something else yet equally badly defined, *heh*, and that was more than 5 years ago (i think -- i am so bad at keeping track)).

i am not sure my inner gay boy's NRE for a manga character he met last week counts, but it really should, because it's exhausting _me_.
