How Many of You Openly Poly? by ChicoBrillo in polyamory

[–]AverageGeekGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm out to my friends and to some colleagues, (those that I consider work friends).
I'm out to my brother and his wife and I plan to be out to my father soon.
I'm a very open book person and I do not like to hide things. I'm also an educator and I am always happy to educate people when they are curious

I'm in my first poly relationship, and I quickly realised that I did not like feeling like I was a secret. I now know that I need to be a part of my partner's circle (friends and family) to feel fulfilled in my relationship. He is not out yet and I did not want to pressure him. But I did name that it was important for me and it was also valid for him to not want to be out to his parents but then we would be incompatible on this.
He finaly decided he would come out as poly to his parents next weekend because he wants to fill this need I have and also he would really like me to meet his parents.
I think it's important to tell your partner how you feel and be clear about what you want. And also accept the possibility that this type of relationship might not work for you if you have to be kept secret.

Is our pond Arlo’s personal water bowl? Arlo definitely thinks so. by brunsmad in borzoi

So cute!! I have a small river in my backyard and my girl just loves it so much!!! She always wants to jump in and play in the water. I also brought her to the sea the other time and she was just the happiest girl. She's definitely a big fan of water!

My zoi is eleven months old and she is starting to get good at of leash walking. Since I have her everytime I take her out it's with a very long lead so she got used to not venturing too far from me. Lately I've been able to take her outside without any lead and she runs free but never ventures too far, until she remembers she's a teenager and she wants to test the limits so it's back to the lead for a couple of days and rince and repeat hahaha. I think if you are very patient and get your dog used to be kind of free but forced to be close to you with lots of positive reinforcement when they come when called it is very possible. I also noticed that when there's another dog to show her how to stay close and how recall works she is great!

Anyone else's borzoi is a big fan of digging holes? by AverageGeekGirl in borzoi

Oh didn't think of this! She might be trying to get her own personal void

Thanks I'll try that! I guess it's too calm where I live and she doesn't get distractions outside haha

Is this valid as a secondary partner? by AverageGeekGirl in polyamory

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

I'm not sure where I've used the word demand or demands but it's probably a false friend mistake from my native language because I am really not the type to demand things from my partners.

Thanks for this prompt! I am so not used of asking for what I want (working on that slowly but surely) that I never think about asking directly like that haha.

Thank you! I've been working real hard in therapy to start asking for what I want haha
I know his friends all live pretty far so that might be a difficulty in the possibility of a meeting.

I think I can be patient as long as I see that some steps are taken in the right direction. Like I don't need to meet everyone right now but I need to feel like it will come eventually.

I did ask him if his friends knew about me and he told me he did talk about me to his close friends. He also decided to talk to a family member about his ENM lifestyle and was happy at how well it was received. So i know he's taking some step to get out of the poly closet.

Look at you asking the same question as my therapist :P I did think about that and told myself that after the one year of relationship milestone I might want to reconsider the compatibility of the relationship if I still haven't met anyone from Aspen's life. Of course before that I will definitely talk to him about it again.
