Annabelle's Intro

This is the story of 2 best friends, separated by 1,700 miles but strongly suspected of being separated at birth. Cosmic twins, if you will.

Although they've been casual friends for 7 years, the cosmic twins have spent the last year strengthening their bond through phone calls, emails, text messages, too-short weekend visits and discovered an insane amount of similarities. Some trivial (our shared addiction to McDonald's vanilla iced coffee (ONE cream!)) and some life altering...

You see, the twins have both discovered that they aren't wired for monogamy.

The caveat?

They're both married.

The marriage of Annabelle and Sweet Pea is eight years strong this October. As is Abi's marriage, to the fabulous man we'll call "Hawk" .

So what's the problem?

Through hundreds of hours of conversation, self reflection and research, the twins have decided that no matter how hard they shove, push or pull, they will never fit into the box that is conventional, monogamous marriage.

They couldn't possibly count the tears.......this kind of self discovery isn't exactly easy.....or pleasant.

One of the purposes of this blog is to chronicle their journeys, as uncertain as they are.
Growing pains doesn't even BEGIN to cover it.......

-Annabelle
