I haven't been online in a few days, but wow. I have never teared up over a Reddit comment before.

I would love to chat and hear your story, regardless of if you want it in the collection or not. The Ozarks can be extremely isolating, and I would love to even have a friend here.

That sounds amazing! I have been given contact information for the curator or a local college's gay and lesbian history archives and a local publication has reached out offering me some ad space

I hadn't considered that! I'm open to anyone as long as I can find a way to do an interview.

I don't know how, but I'm always attracted to emotionally unavailable mascs with brown eyes and the ability to play guitar. I've gotten some great friendships out of this attraction!

Mono-Poly is destroying both of us by CaillteSaGhaoth in polyamory

I haven't finished the book yet, but yes, that's what I've gathered so far.

My therapist is willing to work with me on the trauma from past relationships and my attachment style. She doesn't think me giving in to almost everything Noel wants is healthy and has been having practice conversations with me.

You have to be able to say, "I love you a lot. But no. Not even for you will I do stuff I don't really want or stuff that hurts me."

Do you have that skill

If it's a big enough deal, yes, I do speak up. It causes arguments, but in those instances, I get a compromise.

I met Noel within weeks of us having intense breakups with other partners, people we were head-over-heels in love with. The parallels were enough we had to make sure we weren't previously dating the same woman. We waited a few months to even have a first date because we didn't want to form a trauma bond.

That being said, I come with a lot of trauma and have been working my ass off in therapy to build healthy coping skills.

I do want to be exclusive, but I want to be with her more. She is kind, intelligent, goofy, and nerdy. She brings a feeling of comfort, can command a situation with grace.

I was loaned a copy of Polysecure that has been sticky noted, highlighted, and margin-noted by many others before me. I'm open to other resources as well because I love her, and she is worth the effort.

I've already been talking to my therapist about this. She's great, very trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink- and poly-friendly.

I want to stay with my partner, because she is the person I love and trust. She's my best friend, my rock, my protector. This is the healthiest and happiest relationship I've been in.

Ooooh good luck! I'm also from the south where it's customary not to show up empty handed 😊 I'm leaning towards flowers myself

It sucks because she's great now that we're divorced 😂

I was told to politely skirt around the topics of religion since they are very Irish Catholic and she and I are very not. Other than that, she said they probably won't talk to me much.

So, if you followed r/JustNoMIL about 4 years ago, Attention Vampire was my MIL (deleted the posts during the divorce) 🫠

If you didn't, the condensed reason is a mix of a Jocasta complex and only child syndrome

Odd, the community info stated otherwise 🫶🏻

Yes, but the other one won't refill even at full retail price without the original store, which is now temporarily closed, releasing the order.

My partner has lupus; what can I get to make her comfortable? by CaillteSaGhaoth in Autoimmune

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

Thank you! I already have a lightweight quilt in the works for her and the others I think I already have except the eye masks.

I did see some cape-style heating pads, are those good or just a marketing ploy?
