I think it is important to mention up front that I am happily
married to a man and have been for 8 years. We have two very
wonderful daughters, and it is important to me that I find someone
who is accepting of the fact that my children are a big part of my
life. I recently had a hysterectomy, so we're all done with having
children.
I am interested in finding a female companion, in the romantic sense. Ideally, I would like for the relationship to grow and include my husband as well, but I realize that it is hard enough to start a relationship with one person at a time, much less attempt to incorporate all three at once. So no, I don't expect another woman to say, "Hey, sure sign me up for the package deal" right off the bat, if ever. Sure, I would ideally like for it to develop into a polyfidelitous triad, but if it doesn't, that's fine too.
The upside to being in such a relationship (in our opinion) is that it allows a bisexual woman to fulfill both aspects of her sexuality while also enjoying the stability of a monogamous relationship (albeit between three people instead of just two). I am very much NOT into the casual polyamorous thing, so if you're looking for one night stands, please look someplace else.
Just an FYI, my husband and I are quite happy together and have a very strong relationship. There's no drama here and no one is looking for a quick patch to a broken relationship; we simply both feel that we have more to give and would love to share our happiness with someone else, that is if we are able to find someone that wants to be in a relationship with both of us.
I was briefly the third in a relationship while in high school (emotionally only as the relationship did not last long enough to progress past shy caressing, covert kisses and snuggling beneath the blankets), so I know how difficult it can be to make things work out between three people. In the case of the triad I was part of, I happened to be more interested in the woman than in the man and ultimately that caused the whole thing to come unraveled. It was a sad loss for me as I was quite in love with her, but I being the newcomer to an established relationship, well...naturally the two of them went on their way leaving me to move on to other relationships. Although hurt, I knew it was the way it had to be. C'est la vie.
I am an introspective person, and a bit of an introvert. That doesn't mean I'm shy or that I don't talk at all; I just don't like being around big groups of people and it takes me longer to warm up to strangers. Although I enjoy going out for nights on the town, you won't often find me on the dance floor unless I have a) been dragged there against my will or b) been plied with significant amounts of alcohol. The latter one rarely ever happens because when I do indulge in alcohol, it is usually only one drink.
I love music, snuggling on the couch (or anywhere, for that matter), visiting cemeteries, reading, having deep conversations about anything or nothing at all, being silly, and so many more things. I enjoy life and love to watch others enjoy it as well. In a room full of people, I am usually the one sitting in a corner watching everyone else and yes, I am quite happy that way.
I am a bit geeky and have also been accused of being slightly gothy minus all the black accoutrements (dark sense of humor, I find beauty in odd things like broken dolls and abandoned buildings, that sort of thing). I have an affinity for angels that even I do not understand, albeit usually the fallen type; they are often in my dreams, thus they frequently find their way into my poetry since my dreams are often my inspiration for writing.
I also love the great outdoors. I enjoy camping, fishing and hiking. I've run naked through the forest for the sheer joy of it on more than one occasion and only been caught once, fortunately by my fellow campers and not total strangers. My preference is for forests, mountains and meadows; I really love the countryside in New England and the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. I also enjoy the beach, but dislike the propensity for sand ending up in places it really does not belong.
Incidentally, I think it is impossible to sum oneself up accurately in these things. You just don't get the same sense of a person as you would when talking to someone face to face.
I am silly, eclectic, and a sometimes poet
