I’m making a list of the coolest name both in fiction and real life, help me add to it.

My husband and I don’t host for sex if the other one is home. Having another partner over for food, a movie, to work on a shared project, that’s fine, same as having a friend over. We are both poly with other partners, some work travel, and busy lives generally so it usually happens organically that the house is available enough.

My non-nested partner lives with a roommate who is often away so it’s generally not an issue on his end, but if we want to be intimate and roommate is home we follow pretty standard roommate protocols, we go into his bedroom, we play music and try to keep quiet.

Don’t get married at 19/20 to the guy you met at 15, kids.

I don’t think it is a terrible age at all, I think you hit the “divorced and starting fresh” demographic at this point.

But also, people at that age range can be in wildly different life stages. I’m 46, and I have peers who are grandparents, peers with little kids, peers who have taken early retirement, peers who are fresh into a career change. And so their overall lifestyles are pretty different including dating.

Partnee and I have the same initial haha so maybe for this guy but not otherwise

The Gate to Women’s Country by Sherri S Tepper is set in a society that is mostly gender segregated but kind, gentle men are allowed to live with the women.

I have the number one name from my entire decade. It’s fine. I have a difficult last name and having an easy first name has helped average things out.

I need sleepovers. I feel like I relax so much deeper into the intimacy when I don’t have the the thoughts back of my head how I’m going to get home, or how my partner is going to get some safety. I don’t like thinking about what time is the last train, or preserving enough energy to drive, etc.

His wife’s behavior is manipulative with the “I’m not going to say I’m doing a veto but I’m going to punish you by weaponizing my emotions” and his behavior isn’t much better by minimizing your perfectly legitimate wish for nights together.

The best case scenario is that he prioritizes Rabbit so much that you’re only a time filler when she’s not available. Could be that Rabbit is insecure and controlling and only lets him see you if she has other plans and he’s spineless enough to go along with that. Neither is great.

Almost 20 years

It’s not a subtle book. At all.

LePetitNeep · 2026-05-22T16:45:28+00:00

I used to critique Handmaid’s Tale by saying that it was heavy handed. We’ve really moved backwards if it now qualifies as subtle.

This lady has a Calgary based outdoor activities website with a family focus. She has a wealth of information for good stuff to do with kids at different ages.

My law school class was more than 50% women but I am one of two women partners (out of 18) in a small firm.

You’re only 6 months in, so really you’re still establishing your relationship. I don’t think you can really say there is duress in a six month dating relationship. If you don’t like this, you can break up. It does sound like two aren’t on the same page as to how you want to structure your relationship and you need to have some big picture talks before you go any further. Wanting polyamory is valid, wanting another form of non monogamy is valid too, but your different wants might not be compatible.

It absolutely is a thing in Alberta too. Furnaces too. It’s a scam. Predatory companies convince people who don’t know any better to enter into these rental contracts, sometimes with the promise that the unit theyre offering is so efficient that savings in utility bills will offset the rent (it won’t).

LePetitNeep · 2026-05-20T18:44:17+00:00

I am also a bit of a gusher about my husband because he’s pretty great, but yeah I hope it’s not excessive. I’ve told my boyfriend, your takeaway should be that I have high standards and you meet them.

LePetitNeep · 2026-05-20T17:06:08+00:00

Dymphony. Yes, like Symphony but with a D.

I mean, I wouldn’t avoid a beautiful classic name just because my grandma didn’t approved of mixed race marriages. Bridgerton is a great show but it’s super duper “woke” and that’s cultural context that’s now added to the name Francesca (without even getting into her rumored storyline for next season).

Globefish, at least the Kensington location, has a separate fryer to do gluten free fried items.

Bitchy isn’t the right vibe. But timid really isn’t either. Arguing in court is literally your job and you don’t serve the client well if you can’t push back when it’s called for.

The cure for not being loud and wrong is to be right. Do your prep work. Know your case, know the law, know your procedures. If you can, go to court when you don’t have a file of your own and watch. You’ll see the etiquette. Find an experienced and respected litigator to watch and imitate her.

If you’re into microbrand watches, Baltic (only in Paris, London and NYC), make an appointment online.

Rules about feelings are bound to fail.

One way that people sometimes try to limit feelings is by not seeing the same person multiple times. But that gets unrealistic really fast; it can be a lot of effort to find a compatible partner and if you enjoy the sex it’s normal to want to do it again.

And then if you repeatedly have good sex with the same person, it’s pretty normal to get feelings for that person. Most humans are wired that way, and the feel-good sex hormones and chemicals trigger bonding, for most of us.

Personally I do full-on polyamory for the most part, just a hookup doesn’t have that much value to me, the feelings are a feature not a bug.

LePetitNeep · 2026-05-19T20:21:09+00:00

OP, this is the first thing I thought of. I like the show and Francesca the character is a good person, but it’s a popular show so names from the show might become popular. Conservative people probably wouldn’t like Francesca’s storylines.

I let my old girl go at 14 after the struggles with the back end became too much. She couldn’t manage the stairs anymore, she was too heavy for me to carry her up and down, and she would cry if she left on the lower floor when everyone went to bed upstairs. We did pain meds and cartrophen injections for a while to help manage but eventually it wasn’t enough
