The things you say at poly gatherings. M had brought her boyfriend O and his primary N along to a poly evening that we attended together. A arrived a little after us and M and I were talking to someone else when he walked in. O was standing by the door and recognized A from pictures, so extended a warm greeting. A however did not know O and so, when “I’m O” didn’t spark anything, O added “You know. Araliya’s M’s O?”, which cleared things up immediately.
Other overheards:
“Oh that’s X. He dated my boyfriend a few years ago but then decided he was straight for a while and broke it off and started dating my ex-girlfriend but that’s over because he’s come out again, but as gay this time. Be nice to him.”
“My lover’s so disorganized I have to check his schedule with his wife when I want see him.”
“Hi! I believe I’m your girlfriend’s girlfriend’s boyfriend’s girlfriend.”

Wow. Writing down the reality of the situation really brings it home huh? Confusing but it seems like everything went well at the gathering!
Heh…yeah it went well. And it does get a little less confusing when you learn everyone’s names.
Hah! I’ve had something similar, only with three married men. It was kinda super-entertaining at the time.
“Hi! I believe I’m your girlfriend’s girlfriend’s boyfriend’s girlfriend.”
hey, that one is funny and nice!
