The Cut: Hi Billy, how are you presently?



Billy Procida

: Eh, you are sure that. Dangling in as well together can.

Yeah, it really is a very unusual time.


It had been my personal girlfriend’s birthday celebration yesterday, so we needed to you will need to do the most useful we could.

What did you carry out on her behalf birthday celebration?


We did not will carry out excessively. We watched some TV shows, we smoked weed, we provided their some birthday celebration intimate lovin’. It was really hard to commemorate because we were nonetheless obtaining brand-new info and updates. It definitely brought a downer, but she states that she had a good birthday celebration, that being said, because she had been enclosed by the two males that she enjoys.

Could you let me know somewhat regarding the current residing scenario?


My home is Brooklyn, and my girlfriend and metamour live-in Jersey City. Megan and I also happen matchmaking about nine months, and she along with her boyfriend being online dating for around two and a half many years. I happened to be only planning spend multiple nights right here, but I’m feeling like we’re transferring closer and nearer to a genuine power down of brand new York City,


and that I should not end up being trapped indeed there as long as they close the bridges and tunnels. You will find a car or truck and that I delivered a bunch of material, so I was briefly hunkering down right here.

What’s the setup? In which will you be asleep? Preciselywhat are all to you performing through the day?


They usually have a two-bedroom apartment right here, so I were remaining in the visitor room. During the last few nights Megan’s slept between the sheets with me. But then yesterday, she decrease asleep with me, and I woke right up by yourself. I guess at some stage in the night she decided to go to Kyle’s area and slept with him. We are on time four of me being right here.

Exactly how contains the current residing scenario influenced your own commitment with your girlfriend, plus relationship along with her sweetheart? You said


on Twitter


that you along with her various other sweetheart are not “best buds.”

Right. Whenever I mentioned that i did not indicate that we battle. It simply implies that we are really not close. That is the absolute most the guy and that I may have replaced words. So, it really is interesting, I’m addressing communicate with him more. But i’m directly nearing every thing with a lot of care, and attempting to be since polite as you possibly can. Because i am within space, I’m in the room, and I never want to end up being encroaching thereon. So if he is similar, “You Should start a window to smoke weed,” I’m love, fine, i’ll ensure that you do this.

Whether or not I happened to ben’t asleep with any person in the house, i’d nonetheless wish to be polite about their room. But since there’s that added powerful, In addition don’t want any intimate pressures on anyone. They’ve also been dealing with some commitment problems themselves, and I also don’t want to aggravate that when you are a dick, or becoming entitled. But up to now, its going okay. I’m attempting to be polite without being in excess. He’s sort of a somber, silent fella, and I am willing to bust with fuel at any minute.

Sufficient reason for Megan this has been good. She manages which she uses the woman time with how she really does. I will get the maximum amount of or just she offers, and so I hold reminding her when she would like to invest a few nights sleeping during sex with Kyle, that is great. I’m extremely flexible.

What has been the greatest modification available with this particular scenario?


Attempting to end up being as self-aware as it can. We nevertheless get a little wary about exactly how handsy as with Megan before Kyle, just how kissy to stay front side of him. I’m trying to figure out when he would want to have a discussion when the guy does not. Absolutely a little little urge in myself that’s love,

Oh, Needs him to like me

. In addition want everyone else to anything like me. However you would like your own sweetheart’s different boyfriend to have a liking for you, i’d imagine. Like, if he was an overall total asshole, that will certainly probably make me personally and Megan’s union a bit more difficult, therefore I just want him never to think equivalent of me personally.

This might be such a loaded time for connections, this indicates.


Yeah, after all, it is a terrifying for you personally to end up being [isolated] with a notably brand new connection (i believe becoming under per year qualifies as still sorts of brand new). And to own two interactions where there is one shared lover, under one roof, in [isolation]. We’re going to observe that goes, but it’s undoubtedly dicey.

There is a part of me which is relieved that Megan has actually another person here, because however do not need to be every little thing to this lady. I don’t have giving the girl all interest that’s needed, There isn’t to offer the lady all cuddles required, because this lady has another spouse. As a whole, that is the really cool benefit of polyamory: I do not have the pressure to be everything for anyone. And in a more tense time similar to this, it is a relief to know that if I have to have alone time, she’s good with that, whenever she does have a necessity, she can tap some other person, as we say.
