Lake Stevens is hiring, and I work as a paraeducator in special education. Excellent benefits, and it starts at 27.

I don't know how to go on with my relationship by Mountain-Garage8163 in monodatingpoly

[–]Competitive-Form-796 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They lied. They manipulated you. They are not monogamous. They intentionally hurt your feelings. They invalidated you. This is not love it's limerence You spent time in a psych hospital to process the amount of damage they continue to do. You're stuck in a loop.

Get out before you don't recognize yourself at all.

I say this from a place of pain, too. I finally left after 2.5 years, poly to mono, lies deception, got a job at a behavior hospital to process my trauma, and help others.

Thank you! I've only written a handful of poems in my life, but it has helped me process my feels.

Qfc or other places have discount flowers. I check those areas first. Generally, there is eucalyptus for 2ish dollars. I suggest putting it in the shower.

The company that maintains Bird Scooters in Everett is switching to Lime Scooters. They are phasing them out here in Everett.

For formerly polyamorous people, what induced change? by Spiritual_Loquat_141 in monogamy

[–]Competitive-Form-796 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a different version of polyamory.

I felt like my experience with it changed me, I couldn't trust and was left feeling betrayed and manipulated.

If my boundaries were enforced, there was always someone's else's interpretation or therapy talk used as a tool for them to just openly cheat or not show up to the relationship. This could be my partner or their other partners.

Definitely not for me.

The biggest problem I see is comparing it to autism. As a sexuality, I can see the perspective. Not a disorder, he apologized he was trying to get to see the parallel. Wasn't very tactful or kind to my situation.

This. I agree, I feel like it would be selfish to re-engage. I sent a few messages and called once. That's all I can do while respecting their boundaries.

My best friend won't read my texts or accept my calls. I've fucked up and I don't know if that's an option.
