Open and honest

Those who don't know me in real life may have already worked out from my tweets and online writing that I'm in an open relationship. I've mainly kept my blog free of that kind of thing until now because I'm a reasonably private person but, when you live by a policy of being open and honest with your partner(s), it seems a little silly to keep it hidden away on the one part of the internet that is supposed to be very 'me'. Of course, I'm not planning on telling everything and so any posts that follow on the subject will no doubt be rather vague on details, but I figured that just knowing might give some of my writing a little more context.

I believe it is possible to be in love with more than one person at the same time and, I hasten to add, this is not because I'm bisexual and therefore somehow need 'one of each' in order to function. That really isn't what being bi is all about. (For clarification on that point, please read The Bisexual Index's FAQ page.) I also believe in honest communication with all partners, so cheating simply isn't an option. It can be tough at times, but the good parts are most definitely worth it. Trust me on that one.
