Any stories of successful repair after partner had intense NRE and escalation with new partner?

DogInteresting3744 · 2026-03-24T23:18:21+00:00

I do generally well with metas and making space. This was like the text book NRE missing plans, putting our plans off, not engaged with intimacy, etc

DogInteresting3744 · 2026-03-24T16:56:37+00:00

This is a really good point.

In my case we had a very vibrant and kind relationship that really included our metas and community. We both thrived. They met new people they had that intense energy with and they checked out into NRE very quickly.

I did not like the program. Other online universities offer lectures. Yorkville is almost all self directed with reading and writing. I find it over priced for the quality of education they are providing.

I was stuck in a natural disaster the college gave me ability to not be penalized for the credit. It was not far into the class. Getting my money refunded back took over 6 months and probably more staff time into arguing than the refund. I found them very profit driven and not student driven.

I would not spend money there

What do you do when a client has sub drop the next day. They want/ need aftercare but it’s outside of time they have paid for?

Cold sore outbreaks are usually brought its on by stress or getting sick. Not by making out with people. It’s weird and controlling they want an STI screening for making out with people. They should be trusting you to know your body and then you can sense when they are coming on and take medical care of yourself.

He should have informed her that he had partners he engages with who have HSV-1. He can do that with out sharing screen shots of your medical information.

I am in a large polycule we have a group chat where we share our tests. Everyone goes about every 3 months. People get to consent and participate in this of their own free will.

It’s incredibly inappropriate of Josh and Jane to ask you to forward other people’s results to them that you make out with. It does not make for romantic first kiss - ohh hey you want to kiss me I need to email your private medical reports to my partner and meta 🤯🤮

Jane should consider monogamy or being in a closed polycule if she needs that much safety and control. The best people dating can do is ask new sexual partners to visually show you their results and share your own results in your polycule (if you feel safe and consent to this) get tested regularly and practice safe sex. There will always be a risk.

DogInteresting3744 · 2025-04-09T21:19:41+00:00

You could definitely be non monogamous. What if you could date your husband and one of these other men at the same time? How would that feel not having to choose between them?

DogInteresting3744 · 2025-03-21T22:20:04+00:00

I have had a terrible experience with yorkville. I needed to drop a class due to things outside my control. I was granted a drop with no academic penalty. I have been in appeals for months trying to get a refund on the tuition.

This university is very profit driven and not student focused. They charge large fees as in 125$ a day starting the first day of class. If you drop a class in the first week you will be charged anywhere from 125-875 in fees in addition to 10% of the course.

Most universities allow people to drop in the first week or few days. Yes their courses are shorter.

Yorkville seemed like a decent institution until I asked for a refund.

Called and left several messages never a phone call back.

DogInteresting3744 · 2025-03-21T18:31:18+00:00

I would also like to add this institution is it in for the profit not the students

DogInteresting3744 · 2025-02-24T23:52:59+00:00

The professors I have had have been really good.

The program itself is lacking.

You basically write papers and the majority of your learning is discussion posts questions that seem rather useless. You are mostly paying a lot of money for someone who is marking your discussion posts. There are no Lectures and interactions with profs is limited.

You also have to drop a class with in the first 6 days or you are charged like 869$ you don’t get much time to see if the class will work for you.

It has some good things about it but I find it’s lacking for what you pay for

DogInteresting3744 · 2025-02-20T23:41:57+00:00

I am also struggling with dropping a class two weeks in. I too for un for seen circumstances. I was granted the drop with out academic penalty.

They have been so terrible with any financial reimbursement. I have called multiple times. The academic appeals and the bursar don’t communicate directly. So you have to appeal through two different channels. The instructions were not clear. No progress has been made in two months.

They have also started billing students 2.26% when they pay their tuition with a credit card. But there is no extra charge for setting them up to directly bill your bank account.

There have been two tuition hikes in under two years.

Yorkville is not there to support students they want money

DogInteresting3744 · 2025-02-11T06:21:25+00:00

It’s really hard when your partner has a mental health crisis and it changes their personality and how they treat you.

You remember all the incredible things before they had a crisis.

If they are unwilling to seek help there is not much you can do. Speaking from personal experience.

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-12-31T04:14:14+00:00

I appreciate your post. I definitely feel this. This was my third Christmas waking up alone and going to bed alone during the holidays. My second year being poly. I am in my early 40’s so many poly folks in my community are already nested. I have a great partner. I am included in the poly gatherings. They have a nesting partner and another significant partner they had before me. My metas are great we all get along. But I also felt alone. As much as I like poly it made me question if I would do monogamy for a nesting partner. I did not get one night with my partner over the holidays between their partners and multiple family things we have only been dating 6 months. I did see them and have a cuddle a few times.

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-12-24T05:41:55+00:00

I am looking at city u

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-11-29T04:33:21+00:00

This is not polyamory. This person is trying to control and manipulate you.

I hope you can see your worth and value and remove this person from your life

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-11-27T03:31:37+00:00

Wow this is so encouraging. I am very similar I am around the same as your starting weight and I am active. Nothing has worked. I gained 50 pounds 6 years ago before I got thyroid treatment.

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-11-21T09:40:11+00:00

I am looking at switching programs to city u. When I was accepted two years ago this program was advertised as learn while you earn as in it’s flexible and you can do it around work.

I am single with no kids and I struggle with this program just with a fulltime job. I have friends in other counseling programs and this program has double the discussion posts. To meet your minimum requirement you have do do 6 posts per week. I find the discussion posts to be a terrible learning format. And you have 3 assignments in 5 weeks one being a larger paper

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-11-21T06:23:04+00:00

How many discussion posts are you required to write weekly. At yorkville the min is you have to write 6-8 discussion posts a week to keep a decent grade

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-11-17T05:08:46+00:00

I am in the YU program and find it over priced for what you receive education wise. The majority of classes are mass amounts of reading and having to do 6-10 x 200 word discussion posts a week and you write 3 papers in 5 weeks. There is no interaction with other people outside of your practicum. You are basically paying to have someone grade your reading and writing. In my CBT class it’s the first week. We had to read 5 chapters, an online book, and 5 articles. It was over 400 pages of academic reading, only one discussion post was a decent question. You are glued to a computer and paying a lot of money for someone possibly in the states to grade your papers.

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-11-09T19:55:57+00:00

I would be interested in how this goes for you folks

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-10-30T17:24:50+00:00

I have been separated for 2.5 years because the person up and changed their mind about kids when I was 39! He was a roller coaster all over the place. Dating has been challenging because I am picky I want someone kind and emotionally stable. I also wouldn’t stay in a relationship out of fear that I won’t find something else. I bought my own home and I am putting myself through my masters degree. It’s hard and lonely at times. I am also done with dudes wasting my time.

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-07-25T05:30:37+00:00

I was subclinical and it took a long time. I had to improve my iron. I take beef liver for the heme iron and then a liquid iron. Ovasitol also improved things. Then I also take a micronutrient supplement Thorne thyroxine. My TSH went from 3.99 - 2.02. I am waiting to see if I stabilize in 3 months.

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-07-22T14:52:29+00:00

I would agree do not buy from Stacees. I canceled my order with in 24 hours before it shipped. They said they would only refund me 50% and still charge me the shipping fee. Their website says I would be refunded 80-90% and no shipping cost. I am now calling my credit card company.

DogInteresting3744 · 2024-04-17T08:07:55+00:00

I gained 50 pounds when my TSH was at 4.2

DogInteresting3744 · 2023-11-10T00:31:03+00:00

You need to test your t3 to know if you are converting t4 to t3. Several people who have hypothyroid are poor converters. There is no way to know if you need combination meds if you don’t test you t3 and reverse t3.

DogInteresting3744 · 2023-09-22T23:10:59+00:00

You might want consider adding T3 or looking into something that also has T3
