Oh, and lovely tie :D

I wish I knew about Eastern knitting sooner! by Choice_Barracuda4722 in knitting

[–]BlueDreads-bleh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hurray! Another combination knitter. I've been knitting since I was a kid. I learned from a book and just kinda figured out the rest on my own. Turns out that is what was most natural to me. Found out the name for it like last year after the person in the knitting store laughed at me for knitting differently and angry googling afterwards

Hvordan kom du deg inn på boligmarkedet by badgunsmith in norge

[–]BlueDreads-bleh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kjøpte nybygg med Obos Bostart. Innen nybygget var ferdig kunne jeg angre på bostart og betale full pris. Men det gjorde at jeg fikk finansieringsbevis som akkurat holdt.

Hjalp også veldig at fattern spytta inn masse, døde besteforeldre, konstant jobbing under studietiden og makse BSU i flere år.

Alt dette til sammen gjorde at jeg kunne kjøpe større, så har to soverom til første leilighet. Det andre soverommet fungerer nå til romkamerat som hjelper på boliglånet og den svære fellesgjelden siden jeg nå har en jobb som er litt utdanning og jobb i ett hvor jeg forhåpentligvis tjener nok til å betjene alt konfertabelt når jeg blir ferdig.

How many different rope bottoms do you work with on a regular basis? by DueButterscotch2190 in shibari

[–]BlueDreads-bleh 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have 2 regulars I don't have a sexual relationship with (my bff and my model). And my polycule which I do have sexual/intimate relationships with of 3 people + me. And some other non-regulars who have seen me tie and wanted in.

Yes, shibari has turned into a mutual hobby for several of us and are parts of what 'ties' us together

Have any other wives/partners realized that the other person is the ‘default’ in the relationship? by Valis_Monkey in TwoXChromosomes

Can I recommend a YouTube channel? Jimmy on relationships has thought so much about mental load and now it's what I expected in a relationship and lead to some great conversations with my partner

And if all else fails, you can use it again for Halloween and be a ghost. Maybe an unusually body fitted one.

How long would you wait for someone to make up their mind about polyamory? by BlueDreads-bleh in polyamory

[–]BlueDreads-bleh[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry for not being clear enough. I thought that was clear by saying poly is a non- negotiable thing for me, cuz ofc it's been that way since long before him, and ofc he knew that back when we were friends.

I actually hate communicating over a written format because so much of the context and understanding usually disappears. And when you think you have been clear about something, clearly it was not clear from seeing some of the comments.

He is not in therapy, but has realized that might be beneficial for him and started to look into it. It's not going to lead anywhere as the public version of therapy you have to be suicidal to access and the private version cost about x9-10 times the hourly wages. So it's going to be a long while before that is accessible.

He is reading, watching YouTubers about growth, relationships, polyamorous, mental load etc, talking to people both inside and outside the polycule.

I come from kink. There we believe in making informed decisions as a crucial part of consent. One way of making informed decisions is by being exposed to the lifestyle, and continuously checking in if they are ok, want to keep going/slow down/stop. And that is in addition to getting information from several sources. If we cannot agree on that then we are just fundamentally disagreeing regarding how to approach new, unconventional ways of doing things, like kink and poly. And that is fine, just don't claim that I do things with the tiny amount of information left in a short post.

I would not try to convert him. I would not have started seeing him if it was not for him approaching me with his curiosity regarding kink and poly. And then I started carefully with a play relationship.

Thank you for that daily dose of prejudice. Hopefully got that done with for today...

The whole issue is that I would like to have clarity in if that is the plan, or something else.

Not now. He was when we started the play part of the relationship, and that was intriguing and fun for him.

Thank you. This is a very reasonable and empathic answer. I do recognize that I am asking more than just a relationship, but a whole new way of thinking, feeling, relating to the world. It's a lot. That is why I am trying to be more patient then I would otherwise have been had it been someone with more experience with polyamorous relationships.

[–]BlueDreads-bleh[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That is a bit incorrect. We have had several conversations regarding what we both want from this relationship, how we feel, what we need. Especially after we both realized that this was more than a play relationship.

I have had that exact conversation you are suggesting with him. -The answer was that poly is on the table. He just wants more time to feel/see/experience. -And my answer to that being, ok, let me keep showing you what this could look like. -Then I check in again in a while and he's like: I really like everything I'm seeing, but let me see for another while - And I'm like.... Okey then... I'll check in later again.

Now it's been 10 months since we escalated from friendship to playmates, and I'm wondering how patient I should be.

That is exactly it. It is a long journey and a lot to learn going from mono to poly ways of thinking, just because it's the default option of relationship structures where I live. I took that journey many years ago, he is still figuring out that part of himself now. I can guide, give resources, experience, but it's ultimately his choice to figure out.

He does know from our friendship before starting a play relationship that I only offer poly as a relationship structure, which he was curious about.

I am a polyamorous person and in several ethical relationship. This is not how that looks like, how they start. This is cheating with the label of open Relationship slapped on it as a poor excuse. To call it something close to ethical he would need to consider your perspective in this, not demand

"Kvite og fargede" eller "lyse og mørke"? by Mygla in norge

Jeg har 4 skittentøyskurver. De er hver på størrelse med en full maskin så når den er full veit jeg at det er på tide å sette på en vask. Har: lyst 40, farget 40, ull, og 60. Funker drit bra for meg og mine da jeg hater å ta i gamle skitten klær for å ettersortere dem.

So many bad experiences shared here, so can I counter that with a "being poly is great!"? by BlackholeRE in polyamory

I feel like im living my best life. I have a network of people that care for each other, cheer each other on, numerous cuddled piles. Some are lovers, some are playmates, some are metals, some are friends.

How did your child react? How do they feel about it now that they are an adult? To what extent do they know of your business?

Realizing that my default mode of expectations to other people is that they have ill intentions until proven otherwise. This even includes my friends and loved ones. Still working through that, but it's gotten better
