Emotionally Closed Off...
Being married for over 8 years, and together for over 12, I never thought I would have to rejoin the dating world. But, since we opened up our marriage, I've had to do just that. When my husband and I got together, apps were just starting out - we met the old fashioned way, at a bar. We knew what we were getting ourselves into because we had to see each other and talk to decide if we wanted to pursue the relationship. But now, with apps like Grindr, Scruff, and Tinder, we take a 1 second look at someone's profile picture and swipe right or left. The person might have written they are a serial killer in their profile and we would have absolutely no idea because our judgement is based 100% on looks alone. And yes, I am just as guilty as the next person.

Open/Closed (pt. 2)
I've decided to continue documenting the progression of our open marriage here. I'll be updating it in near real-time. The past few days have been rough for me. I already talked about how the open marriage inadvertently brought to the surface a few of my own insecurities and shortcomings, but another one I wasn't necessarily prepared for would be the change in dynamic that inevitably happens - less time and attention between the two of us.

Cauterize
I’ve realized lately that I do not know how to relax. Seriously. I’m not just saying this. If I spend more than 5 minutes sitting on the couch reading or watching tv, I start to get anxious. My mind starts to race with all the things that I should be doing instead (i.e. cleaning, cooking, taking the dogs for a walk, etc.). Then, I get up off the couch, get angry with my self that I can’t just relax, and then go take a nap.

Open/Closed
A few months ago, my husband and I decided to open up our marriage. We have been together for over 11 years, married for 7. In theory, it's a great idea. Who wouldn't want to have some no-strings-attached fun with someone and then come home to your husband? Isn't that the dream most guys have? I thought so, too.

Enough.
The concept of "enough" has been on my mind lately. When one thinks of "enough" they typically think of "I've had enough to eat" or "That's enough" - something to signify that they are full, or have reached their limit. So then, emotionally speaking, one can have "enough" of something as well. "Enough" of the annoying co-worker, or a child begining for a toy. But what about when we look at ourselves, when will we be "enough" for ourselves? I for one, don't know. All I know is I am not "enough" for myself.
