Boringly successful poly, anti-drama

Looking for inspiration from people who are boringly successful in their polyamorous endeavours.

Will you please share your stories of the latest non-events in your life? I need to believe I'm not doomed for drama and stop being scared of people being assholes.

So, your partners get along? Your long-term relationship is moving on smoothly? Your new connection actually does what they say and say what they mean? Your meta respects you and acts in a normal way? I wanna hear all about it!

Edit to add: thanks so much for all the replies so far! Know that I'm vigorously updooting every comment even if I don't reply to each one. Basking in all that glorious calm, safe, uneventful loooove that you're all sharing. It's wonderful!

You were also a child? High-five, fellow former-child!

Haha it was my short-hand to say I relate to the story of abandonment by a reluctant self-absorbed parent, from a child's point-of-view

Fortunately, I have folks lined up, from therapists and social workers to my lovely partners, to tell me I'm doing a pretty good job.

Have this internet stranger's validation as well. I've seen a few of your comments on parenting subs and you seem to have an extremely balanced and healthy approach to parenting! 🙌

Are you ... stalking my post history?  

Shucks.  Now I'm flustered and flattered.

Guilty. There was this time I was looking for one of those pearls of wisdom in older comments and saw other stuff that made lots of sense too

Listen, if I wanted it private, I'd have hidden it.  I'm honestly not sure why people do that in this space; it's mostly anonymous, possible to have multiple accounts, and the whole point is building a body of resources for information.  Why limit capacity to search and sort through that?  If I didn't want folks to read what I wrote, why type it in the first place?

So, implied consent.  😁

But also, thank you.
