Dear Ivy, I always love reading your entries. I only came across your tumblr recently, so I’ve had a great time reading it from the start. I’m very curious about the progression of the relationships you can build in this polyamorous context. I find myself wondering what happened to Switch, or the guy from the Infamous Car Story? Do you keep in touch with them at all?

Standard

Switch and I do talk. He’s doing very well. He graduated from Ivy University and is now pursuing a career in the government. Because if you’re looking for anybody freaky, the first place to look is public service.

As for the guy from the car story, it has been a long process in the past year (slash after I wrote that story and was in a relationship with him) to realize that for quite a few reasons that were not mentioned in this tumblr, I was in an abusive relationship. His behavior towards me after we had broken up compounded with my awareness of what had actually gone on years later are reasons why I no longer speak to him.

The car story was at a moment early-on, before certain behaviors emerged that made the relationship incredibly unhealthy. Therefore, I am not taking it down. Also, it was super hot and a memory of that guy and Elle back before they both did some fucked up stuff.

So, yeah, I’m not going to go all Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on him. But I’m not going to continue to speak to a person after certain things were said and done.

Switch, however, is always a phone call/text/email I’m happy to receive. He’s a wonderful guy.
