B and I have now been seeing each other for over two and a half years. It feels really fucking good to think about that. During that time, we have faced challenge after challenge, both as individuals and as a couple. But now, finally, I think we have reached a period of peace and calm, and we are reveling in it.
I am also pleased to report that I now have great relationship with B’s child, I see them every other weekend and we even have an out-of-state trip planned over the Summer. I’ve also now met, and spent time with, just about everyone in his family. It all worked out, it was just a long and difficult road to get here.
I now spend every weekend at B’s house, going to him on Fridays after work and then driving back to the office on Monday mornings. It’s wonderful to finally be able to have consistent and substantial time to spend together. Sometimes we go out on dates, sometimes we stay home and chill, sometimes we visit with his family, sometimes we take little road trips. We have settled into a really lovely, secure, routine. We still keep things interesting, of course! But now that we have some stability it all feels so much safer and sweeter than it ever has before. I couldn’t love him any harder than I do right now.
Another benefit of us finally reaching a place of relative peace is that we can once again pursue our mutual desire to explore group sex together! We set up a profile on a kinky dating app (again) and began the tedious task of swiping through the many people we knew we weren’t interested in pursuing. Then, I stumbled across a couple that looked promising! I swiped right and struck a conversation with a male/female couple who are both bi, as B and I are. We chatted, liked the vibes, and set up a group chat so that the four of us could all converse and get acquainted. It went well! We were all into it! We scheduled a meeting at one of B’s shows to see if the chemistry was there in person.
They showed up! Yay! I sat with them and we watched his band play, we talked when we could, had some drinks, it was a good time! When the show was over, we went to the bar nextdoor to spend some time getting to know one another. I had a blast, the conversation was good, everyone was laughing and joking, and I found them both very attractive. While I was in the restroom, B invited them to come back to our hotel with us to continue the evening, but by then it was 2 am and they said it was too late for them. They emphasized that they had had a wonderful time hanging out with us and definitely wanted to get together again, a little earlier, and explore the bedroom opportunities for us all. Yay again!
The following day, B sent them a message to let them know we’d had a great time and that we’d love to see them again, he gave them our availability for the coming weeks and we waited to hear back. We had been texting with them daily up to this point and they always replied promptly. Well, not this time. We waited, a day went by, then another. Then we got a reply – they’d like to see us again, they’d check their schedules for the coming months. Oh dear, we thought. That was rather non-committal.
We did not hear from them again. No clue why, exactly, but whatever the reason is we’re fine with it. If you’re not into us then we don’t want it, because obviously it would be gross any other way.
Some weeks later, he mentioned that he’d like to introduce me to some friends of his with whom he had recently reconnected after losing touch for some years. He had previously been very close with them and was very excited to have them back in his life. Of course, I said I would be delighted to meet and get to know them! M & C live very nearby, and M is from England, like me! How nice, I thought, it will be to meet another Brit here in Oklahoma. I don’t meet very many, and it’s nice to have someone to talk to about the finer things in life, like proper bacon or suet dumplings, or old TV shows from my childhood. I was very much looking forward to the prospect of a new British friend.
So, we met up with them for drinks at this little dive bar that B and I have been enjoying lately, and it was wonderful! So wonderful, in fact, that there will need to be a new blog post…
