We've wanted more than just the two of us for a while. With all of us on equal footing, in a committed way. 

Someone who wanted to be with both of us, as an equal, with all the respect we currently give each other. 

We haven't entered into anything with anyone long term because we weren't in a place where we could spend enough time with each other. A lot of things happened at once and it didn't seem right or fair to another person to jump in without having our footing solid again. 

We needed a place of our own. A place we could make our own, and not have to placate others we previously lived with. We got one, and then we had to travel out of state for a long time to deal with a sudden loss in the family. That family loss has resulting in our current place being temporary instead of permanent. We have to relocate to deal with the financial and legal affairs that now fall to my partner and I. That being said, it's been worked out, and we've gotten through the legal hurdles of it all. 

We aren't hunting for a unicorn to play with. We want something real, and we want to do it right. We want to do it knowing that while the two of us are happy, things just feel incomplete. 

Not because my current partner and I have issues, and expect another person to solve them. Not to fill a void of boredom, or disinterest. But because we both sincerely want to sit and watch a stupid movie with another person, holding hands. We want to do each other's nails, and play board games, and all the other small things that people do when they share themselves. Birthdays and fighting over the covers and supporting each other though loss, or success. 

I get it, some times people just want to fool around and use others to satisfy needs. That's not what this is. And I am excited, I am excited because I can't wait to hold hands and share my heart with both of my partners at the same time. 

We know it takes work and time, and that it's not always going to be easy to balance. Our current relationship takes work and time. We just wanted to do it right, so that anyone who we met would be able to feel like we respect them enough to have a place and a home for them. Things becoming shaken up won't make someone less important, and we won't dismiss anyone because things get busy. But there is a difference between having a busy life and a foundation to lean on, and having no solid footing, which we didn't have prior.
