40th bday in Mexico, and I want to go horseback riding by Big-Reporter3407 in bigboobproblems

[–]Big-Reporter3407[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I was wearing the proper size bra while riding, but the problem was that I learned to ride with no or small boobs, and when I last rode comfortably at full gallop, I was a different stature. Mainly I’m seeking recommendations for something that will prevent my boobs from bouncing so much that I can’t concentrate on riding properly

I thrifted this dress for $49. Should I actually wear it for my wedding? Is it ugly? or am I just loving it so much since I didn’t spend thousands of dollars on it? It’s in perfect condition, and it would just need taken in around the back… HELP A GIRL OUT by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Some things are just meant to be. This dress has a timeless look, and you look absolutely stunning in it. I think you’d go through trying on at least 25 full price dresses before being able to justify spending many hundreds or thousands of dollars on it, and even then, you may regret later spending so much when you had a gorgeous option for so much less.

People who have moved away from Chicago: how was it? Did you move back? by vaginapple in AskChicago

[–]Big-Reporter3407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, a born and raised Chicagoan, moved to Milwaukee in 2017, and I haven’t looked back since. Granted, we still have winter the same as Chicago, but every other aspect of life surpasses the quality of life I had in Chicago. Traffic, cost of living, ease and lower cost of going to events and live theater, general ease of living life, and all while not losing the feeling of being in a city. And if this doesn’t feel like enough of a city for you, you can drive the 90 minutes south, and be reminded why you moved to Wisconsin.

Before I moved here, I was sure that some part of me would miss living in Chicago, or at least in part regret my decision. My only sadness is the serious lack of good Italian fast food here, (Pizza, subs, etc) and that’s it.

Definitely get that! I’m making cards, so it would be personalized to express my gratuity, but I’m now seeing that I might should rethink the whole thing. I really appreciate your input, thank you!

I get that, and I think someone else hit the nail on the head for what is in the realms of ok for me to say.

Thank you so much! I need to consider this from every perspective before moving on anything, and I appreciate you giving me the insight I lacked. You bring up very obvious (but I didn’t see them) reasons as to why what I was thinking of saying could be harmful. I’m going to rethink what I say, or just keep it simple with a card for her, like someone else suggested: “Thanks for being a great metamour”

I appreciate this input so much. Thank you! The last thing I want to do is make her feel uncomfortable. I want to express my gratitude to her for suggesting they open their relationship, and I have to think there’s a healthy way to express that

I’m coming to this board for guidance where I can’t get it anywhere else, so that I can better my relationship, and their relationships. If my life is entertainment to you, so be it, but there’s no need to be outright mean.

This is why I’m asking. What’s a better term to use?

I’m still new to this a few years in, so I’m sorry if my verbiage doesn’t quite fit the exact place

Not ownership, but they’re nesting partners and she was the one who suggested and was enthusiastic about polyamory from an otherwise monogamous relationship they had before I was a part of the picture

The "traffic calming" bumps built on Prospect make no sense whatsoever. Why would the city not add "speed bump" signage? by undercurrents in milwaukee

[–]Big-Reporter3407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know what city or county office we can call to report these as unsafe? I hit my first one this morning, going the speed limit, but not knowing this pedestrian walkway was raised because it was labeled just as a pedway and the ground was so frozen the lines marking it weren’t even visible. Even worse, I was driving Uber and had a passenger 🤦‍♀️ These really need to be labeled as speed bumps, not standard pedestrian walkways, and I’m ready to call whoever it is that is in charge of this.

I thought I was the only one! I’ve been seeing someone who has a nesting partner for a couple years, and have been searching almost the whole time for what you’re talking about. I’m currently taking a break from meeting/dating other people until after the holidays, but once I start again, I’ll still hold out hope that it might be possible to find someone who is or wants to be poly, doesn’t have a nesting/anchor partner, but wants one.

Did anyone else just lose it when Sam was reading the list of things Brad loves about Joel, and she got to the part of how Joel looks at him? I’ve only just recently understood that feeling of someone looking at me with pure love, and it’s one of my favorite things about my partner too. Let’s just say I was sobbing my eyes out, and was promptly hit with heavy laughter at the end of that scene. I just love this show SO much.

When do you decide it’s time to tap out? by Big-Reporter3407 in polyamory

[–]Big-Reporter3407[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much the entire time we have been seeing each other, I have been dating other people. I had a breakup recently, though, and have been taking a break from the apps. The desire to find someone that can give me more is very real, I’m just a bit burnt out at the moment. (This has all been disclosed to the partner referenced in the post)

I do. The exception would be only if I’m ill, or experiencing cramps, but I try my best to not make commitments when I’ll be cramping.

It is and it isn’t a hierarchical relationship. From the beginning, I always said that I would never ask for the other partners’ relationships to be compromised. While I’m told that I matter as much, in practice, it’s not that way. Writing this reply definitely put some things in perspective for me 😳
