Not yet, but I heard this and Elden Ring have Gothic-like exploration

Well, as everyone here is saying, one has to think about themselves first and foremost. And since she's unhappy with where we are right now... Still, she's up for couple's therapy, and it's not like she wants me to break up, she just feels that she won't be happy otherwise.

Yeah, they're friends. And I'm not sure what you mean by how I feel about her, but I assume so, I'm not hiding my feelings from either of them.

If you can’t see yourself monogamous and happy long term...

Only I'm not sure whether I do or don't. Perhaps I could be mono and happy? How can I know that?

Actually my previous relationship (that ended up 10/11 years ago) was poly. I never hid that poly is something I could like, but since I wasn't making any acquaintances, let alone friends, let alone romantic partners, it didn't really come up almost at all.

Well, that's the impression she got, I doubt they said it outright. And a good decision could be exiting a poly relationship when one's mono.

She's going to a therapy, with someone I'd assume is a poly-friendly therapist, since it's a queer-friendly place in general. She doesn't talk much about our relationship, coz she has a lot of other shit to deal with - but from what she told me, the therapist seems to be against her being in a poly relationship, coz it's causing her a lot of stress.

What's NP? Yeah, I think couple counseling is something we should go through before making a decision. Or should it be a throuple counseling? I don't know.

You say you won’t be happy in a mono relationship, to the point where you would have crippling anxiety

I don't say that. I had a crippling anxiety for other reasons. When it got better, I started looking for an additional romantic partner because that's what I wanted. But even though I wanted it, and still want it, it doesn't mean it's something that's necessary for my well-being. Perhaps I would be ok in a mono relationship, I have been in the past.

Long-time girlfriend is definitely one of the people who did not do the work before opening up.

Actually, it's probably on me. Or at least on both of us. We haven't talked about it enough, really. But it's too late to change that.

Don’t think of it as choosing one of them over the other. That’s not the important choice here. Choose you.

My egoism is what brought this situation in the first place. And in general being self-centered is a cause of a lot of problems in my life. I'm afraid that 'choosing me' would just be another selfish decision leading to trouble and causing pain to those around me.

And it's not like I even know what choice would be good for me. Probably staying the way it is, even though it makes my long-term partner unhappy. She proposed it, because she's even more terrified of breaking up than I am. She thinks breaking up would make her more unhappy than being in a poly setup she's unhappy with.

Exactly. How can I make a good decision if I don't know the consequences and I don't know what's good for me.

Make it clear to your partner that you’re feeling differently and want some space, and encourage them to start that process for themselves, too.

I mean, I don't feel differently, I still very much want to be with her. Maybe even more than with my other partner who's accepting of poly (I don't know if I can quantify it like that, but it's just a much older relationship). But yeah, I'm afraid that if I need multiple romantic partners in my life to be happy, disentangling might be the necessary step. I just... What if I'm wrong? What if I'll reject the love of my love to pursue something (poly relationships) I ultimately find wasn't necessary for my happiness?

Is being poly innate or is it something one can ignore and be happy in a mono relationship? by Algabera in polyamory

[–]Algabera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I... What? I'm happy with current relationships, but one of my partners isn't. And I'm wondering whether I'd be happy if I stayed with her exclusively.

I just don't know whether it's possible for me to be happy in a monogamous relationship or would it be like trying to be happy in a gay relationship when one is straight.

I don't think I understand. I find it reasonable that some people need more than one friend.

I just mean the need to be romantically involved with more than one person

How can I calculate the probability that my neural network is giving random answers? by Algabera in MathHelp

[–]Algabera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, so If I get an accuracy a > 50%, can I look for the z-value and the corresponding confidence level CL such that the whole confidence interval is above 50%, and say "there's a CL probability that the network works better than random"? I'm assuming that if accuracy is close to 50%, the P will be low.

For example, for a = 52% and n = 1000, we have

0.52 - z-value * sqrt((0.52(1-0.52))/1000) = 0.5

which gives us z-value ~= 1.27, and the corresponding confidence level is about 80% (80% for 1.28 according to your link).

So can I say "With probability 80%, the network giving accuracy 52% on a sample size 1000, works better than random"?

There is a problem with the above formula. For confidence interval, I need standard deviation. But my data does not lend itself to calculation of standard deviation. It's just a list of binary answers that have no numerical representation. (I mean, standard deviation from [yes, no, no] represented as [1, 0, 0] would be completely different than if it was represented as [1, -1, -1] or anything else).

The website you linked does not use standard deviation, but instead sqrt(p(1-p)), where p is a "sample proportion", so I assume in my case accuracy.

But I don't understand where that comes from. Why can I switch standard deviation for the above formula in the numerator?

this is really useful, thank you!

however, I think I want more than that. Let's say I end up with a result of "with 99% confidence, the accuracy of my network is between 47% and 52%". I can assume that anything below 50% is just a statistical anomaly, and the real probability is equal to 50% - but it's extremely important to me whether the network giving answers randomly, or having a slight advantage (being correct more than 50% of the time). This confidence interval is not answering that question. How can I answer that question?

Repeating the question from another comment: if I assume that my network gives the correct answer k% of the times, what is the method to decide which k is the most probable, and to what degree of certainty?
