I Want Her to Know What Love Is, Ch 17
Bobbi's Family Learns More
I had time to do my run before Maya showed up at my door. She was chatting with Benson when I came in for my breakfast.
"What's up, Maya?"
"Me. Way, way up. I can safely say I'm not going to miss sex with Greg. That was the most amazing week of sex I ever had, and that was even before Sandy showed up on Friday. How's things with your two babes?"
"Good, with a slight hitch. Bobbi decided to move in, and we met her parents last night for dinner, but it turns out her parents had hired Sonia once, one of her brothers purchased more than a handful of blow jobs, and the sister is engaged to another plumber in the company, and he's been with Sonia a couple of times. Although that seems to have preceded the engagement. We're invited to their house for Thanksgiving. Benson, I've got Eva's phone number. I'd like you to call her and offer some help with the meal."
"Of course, sir, or Rooster, I should say."
"Her parents! Bobbi's parents hired Sonia!" Maya exclaimed.
"I thought that the dad, Dan, might possibly recognize her since his route home every night took him past Sonia's street corner, but it went a little further than I anticipated. Husband and wife wanted to try a threesome, so there it is."
"Bobby, how do you seem so calm about that?" Maya asked.
"If I can get past Greg boinking Sonia on a regular basis, I can get past relative strangers. It is what it is. Should I have a good cry?"
"Do you cry? I don't think I ever saw you cry, even when you were getting picked on constantly."
"I cried, but I never let anyone else see me cry. That would have made it worse."
"So we shouldn't expect you for Thanksgiving this year?"
"Not this year. I'm hoping to set something up for Christmas at my place so everyone can meet. Everyone's moving into my place that weekend, so my place was out for Thanksgiving. Other than the sex, how did things go with Alex?"
"Good. He's a real sweetheart. I'm halfway in love with him already, and I barely know the guy. Of course, even his virtual dates tended to be off the charts. Here's your keys." She passed them across the table. "Do you think this thing with Sonia and Bobbi will work out?"
"I'm hopeful. It's hard to say, though. I never had any relationship last longer than three months, so I have no experience with long term romances. We seem to mesh together, we don't seem to be jealous of any of the others. We seem to communicate well, which would be a crucial skill we need to make it work. I think we're playing it by ear, but it looks good for now."
"After you announced what you were doing, Sandy, Alex and I talked this weekend about whether we should try something similar. I think we all had some interest, but we didn't decide anything. I guess I was worried about jumping from a monogamous marriage into a semi-permanent threesome. It's a complete 180 from our parents and my pre-Greg expectations, to something that wasn't even on my radar a month ago."
"Understandable, Maya. I never really thought about it either, until Sonia suggested it. I mean, I enjoyed the sex, but now we're talking about something much bigger than three people in a bed. I spent some time researching it, nerd, you know, and this is what I found out.
"Research suggests that polys have less dissatisfaction and conflict than monos. They report higher levels of satisfaction and fulfillment than their mono counterparts. That balances with monos feeling more security and stability than polys. All of the poly respondents report more open communication and emotional intimacy than most monos and demonstrate better communication skills. They have to negotiate with more complex relationships, so they have to maintain open communication with everyone. Monos tend to experience more jealousy and possessiveness, but I believe most of that is because polys expect to share their partners, and monos don't, so they experience more jealousy if they perceive their partner is paying attention to someone else.
"Roughly twenty percent of Americans have participated at some point with consensual non-monogamy, but only five percent are practicing polyamory it at any one time. Actual rates of infidelity are lower in poly relationships, because they are practicing a form of approved or authorized non-fidelity, so have less reason to seek partners outside the relationship. Polys tend to focus on emotional connections and intimacy instead of sexual exclusivity. They actually express more intimacy with their primary partners than most monos, which flies against what most monos think.
"Now, I can get behind more emotional intimacy, and open communication with my partners and it also means that I have to work to provide a sense of security and stability to my partners because that may be where they feel most vulnerable. I'll have to work at that, balance their needs and expectations. But let me ask you this. Even when you were happiest with Greg, and didn't realize he was cheating on you, did he seem to offer you everything you hoped for in a relationship. Were there one or two girlfriends you depended on to provide certain types of emotional or intellectual stimulation that you weren't getting with Greg?"
Maya thought about that. "I'd have to say that's true, especially because he was gone a lot, on 'sales calls'."
"It wasn't physical, but they did give you something that Greg didn't."
"Yes."
"I would think that poly relationships would tend to fill some of those gaps that one person just can't meet, no matter who it is and what's lacking. By having more than one partner, filling all of your emotional and intellectual needs becomes easier, even if someone else can give you all the physical sex you want. Those extra partners may need or want something from you in return, and that may very well be sex, or it may be some connection they need. Let's face it, Sandy understands what it is to be a woman, and she knows that better than Alex or I will ever know. She will get you as a woman more than anyone can.
"But now you have to work to provide all of the missing pieces to Sandy-Alex, and Alex has to fill the missing parts of Sandy-Maya. You have to get good at communication, which is something you never had with Greg. I know that's not all your fault, because he wasn't sharing a hell of a lot of his life outside your marriage, but you either didn't have a lot of questions about his time away from home, or he lied his fucking ass off, and you believed all of his bullshit."
"Oh, I definitely didn't ask enough questions. I realized that when you started asking me about his co-workers, his paychecks, the general work nonsense that everyone else has to go through. I was fat, dumb and happy, although I realize now, I wasn't as happy as I thought I was. I knew I was missing parts of his life, but I didn't care enough to ask. That's my fault." She paused. "Have you told Mom what you're going to be doing?"
"Not yet. I figured there wasn't any point unless I knew for sure it was going to happen, and last night was the first I was convinced we were all in a hundred percent."
"What do you think she'll say?"
"I think you know as well as I do what she'll say. It's not what she had with Dad, and anything outside that framework, she'll have a bone or two to pick. She might think it's all Sonia's fault, that I wouldn't be doing it if I wasn't marrying her."
