That was a long time ago, and I've learned a lot of life lessons since then. It's better to get it all out in the open up front because it's going to come out in some way, shape or form eventually.

Yes and even if we have a smidgen of a *thing* about something and it doesn't come out, we regret it later.
i feel many times people don't know what their boundaries are until they are IN the situation, which is not always a good thing.
i hear and read about many people thinking they would be great with the poly lifestyle, until they try it.
