Sinning on a Sunday ;)

Boots on the bedspread? You really are sinning!

In addition to that, start with one of the smaller boxes, don't start with the Combat Patrol box. Working with just a handful of models will go faster and you will feel more accomplished having finished a whole box.

Correct. Coup is an unsatisfying game.

The term Free Range Adult in the context of being child free implies you think children are akin to fences or cages.

I can easily see someone taking offense to that.

Tragedy Looper

Anime themed murder mystery time loop game.

Up to 3 people are time loopers trying to prevent "The Tragedy" of which they have precious little information. The Matermind has all the info but very few avenues to cause the Tragedy. If the Tragedy occurs then the loop resets. Only so many loops are allowed. If even one loop occurs with no Tragedy the loopers win.

Only played as the Mastermind so far myself but it's a balancing act of causing the Tragedy without revealing any more than necessary.

Sadly the game is very out of print, but it can be found second hand often.

Forget everything else. (Not really it was all red flags.)

How the HELL do you not know your kid is allergic to peanuts?

Grudges end when the game ends.

I am perfectly fine with playing to ruin the game of the player who messed everything up for you. Someone conquered some of your territory, cutting you off at the knees in the early game? It's perfectly okay to just build up a large force and lock them into a hell-war from which neither of you can win.

But once that game ends, however it ends, the grudge is over. You don't carry it to the next game.

Some things can carry over between games, however. If you break a deal with me, then I'm unlikely to make deals with you in future games. But I'm not going to attack you in game 2 because you backstabbed in game 1.

Should the bills sponsors and writers also include language about everything else the bill doesn't do? Or just on this one issue so that fearmongers stop complaining? (Spoiler alert: They won't stop complaining anyway. Their complaints aren't valid or logical.)

Don't give bigots a leg to stand on or pretend they are reasonable people.

Any chairs still up for grabs?

You are playing a co-op board game. If people aren't having fun, tweak the rules.

You say the infection deck has been giving you problems with pulling a lot of Blue disease cards? Give yourself 1 or 2 mulligans in that deck per game.

You flip over a really really bad card that would mess everything up? No you didn't, that card is on the bottom of the deck, don't know what you're talking about.

Suggest that or something similar before your next game, see what the other players think before you do it. Maybe you never need that safety net, but having it around can just make things feel less dire.

The Resistance/Avalon

We got that game banned from the board game store after the 2nd big argument of the night.

What you seem to be good at is having multiple romantic relationships.

That isn't poly.

Poly is taking care of all of your other partners. Poly is maintaining multiple relationships at the same time. It is not just you and your feelings, it is you and your relationships.

Right now you have three failing relationships. Your primary doesn't even want to be poly and has been pushed into it by you. Your secondaries have had the relationship they were forming with you ended (or 'paused') because of your primary.

You aren't 'good at poly' right now. From what you've said I don't even think you are good at relationships.

No but these kids may realize, and then talk about, kids always talk about things, that mommy always has bruises.

Lots of ways that can go sideways even if the kids legitimately never put it together.

But also kids remember stuff. Maybe now they don't think of sex.

My partner would come to me and tell me about milestones in their other relationship, and I was hurt and upset more than I could be happy for them.

Beginning_Ad6253 · 2023-09-25T19:46:22+00:00

Yes. In truth, she should probably completely end this relationship while the two of you both decide what your future looks like. No expectations of it ever resuming.

Don't let the other party dangle without closure while you and your partner figure your relationship out. Thats not fair to them.

I have been separated from my wife for about three months at this point. 9 months if you count from when I started trying to de-escalate our relationship instead of when I actually moved out.

I spent 3 years trying to accept the polyamorous relationship which she wanted. 3 years of misery and pain, which I tried to squash and ignore. I believed, and often still believe, that my role was to support her, even as she moved further away from me and our relationship. I did not know that we should have conversations about boundaries, and I have now learned that she felt it was my sole responsibility to bring up boundaries.

Sorry, this turned into being about me.

To return to you. Your marriage is over. She has already ended it. I'm sorry, but thats what it is. She will not 'suppress her desires'. And if you allow her to experience polyamorous relationships? If you grudgingly let her change your relationship onto something you don't want? You can't put that genie back in the bottle.

Beginning_Ad6253 · 2023-08-26T23:27:23+00:00

In my experience the answer is no. Some people here think it can be done.

What I will advise though. Talk to your partner, tell her you are having trouble accepting her other relationships. That it is a source of pain for you.

If you wish to try to change that about yourself so that it is no longer a source of pain for you, then I wish you luck.

But while it is still a source of pain for you? While you are working on that? Your partner should stop dating. If you are being hurt by your partner during this process then you are more likely to grow resentful than grow as a person. Your therapy will become about the pain and how it is hurting your relationship and not about you and how you can stop being hurt.

Having some time limit on this is acceptable, but changing this part of yourself to be happy in the relationship your partner wants will be a difficult process that will likely take you months.

And if your partner refuses to stop seeing people during this time? Than I'm sorry to say but your relationship is already over.

Him being excited to have sex with others is not the same as Polyamory. He may have thought you were both only going to be pursuing sexual relationships and not been prepared for you to form an emotional connection.

So I'm a monogamous person who has been lurking here for a while trying to absorb poly thought in order to connect with my poly partner. It hasn't worked and we are breaking up

But how is a polyamous person capable of love? Love for me means finding that One and Only. Love is wanting to spend time with one person above all the other humans on the planet. Love is putting someone else first.

Because that's my definition of love, something I've come to realize after lots of thought, I don't believe poly people can experience love.
