Blurting [potential TMI]

[vvvexation]

I feel I must set this down as evidence both of my vastly improved living situation (as compared to last year) and of my growing lack of shame:

This evening I rousted my roommate out of the bathroom with the words "Yo, [my date and I] need to pee so we can fuck!"

Yay, increased freedom of expression....

Yeah, that would've been nice...but it wouldn't've been worth continuing to live with people who think I'm an unethical slut. (Though it would've been an interesting experiment, given that they seemed to think I was sleeping with everyone I hung out with, to see how long it took them to wonder if that extended to both genders....)

My mom knows I'm poly. She knows the names of folks that I hang out with a lot; she and I talk a couple of times a week, and I tend to chat about what I've been up to. While I did correct her misperception of what "getting together with akienm, dawnd, and our friends Lisa and Jen" meant, she didn't find me to be being unethical.

(I also find it really not important to put a lot of effort into clarifying *for anyone* (other than partners, who have SSA-related entitlements) who I am or am not sleeping with.)

That was what kept me from telling them, though if I'd found a way to just tell them I was poly some of the crap might've been avoided.

I hadn't told my housemate I was poly before I moved in. I figured it wouldn't matter too much, and really didn't expect to settle into several relationships as soon as I did. Fortunately, it has been a total non-issue with my housemate.

Same exact thing happened with me, except that it did turn out to be an issue. *sigh*
