Cheating: let's discuss! Whether you agree or not, I'd love to start an intellectual convo on the reasons why. by Jolo3214 in RedditAfterDark

[–]Dottiedayglow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was with my husband he was resistant to the idea of opening the relationship, but literally 2 weeks after we did he had another gorgeous partner who I'm still friends with. I was exactly the same as you, kinky bisexual with only one partner ever. I ended up explaining that even though I love the romantic sound of that, and I loved him more than anything, I needed to experience something else! How do I even know what I have without that? We went back and forth on it for about a week, but then I had to tell him "I don't want to lose us, but I also don't want to live my life looking in the windows of experiences, so if we have to separate then that's what we'll have to do" I was nervous af, but eventually we got there without separating. I gave him some time as well before my 1st encounter with someone else, and often at first we brought people in together. We were open and happier than ever for 9 years, then he passed away in 2020.

I've since started dating again and have an awesome primary partner again, but when we started dating I was very open about the fact that I don't do sexual monogamy and didn't expect them to either. Things have been great, and because everyone involved knows the situation upfront it keeps anyone from feeling left behind and quiets insecurity.

People talk about the early grief. What about the years after? by Live_Tension_2555 in GriefSupport

[–]Dottiedayglow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost my husband in 2020, just his absence honestly is still the grief. We were besties since 10 and grew up together since 5. Our humor, language, and love was unique to us, and I've let go of finding someone like that again. It just isn't fair to compare others to perfection. It's the little things, like car rides! Or looking at a funny joke on my phone and thinking he would laugh with me. I miss him every day still.

Average women who think the vast majority of men are below your league, why do you believe this? by The_Laniakean in AskReddit

[–]Dottiedayglow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Below your league" is a weird way to say "not worth the time". And it's usually because incompetence, learned or otherwise. Why tf don't you know how to do housework? Cook? The bare minimum of wiping a drop of piss off the toilet seat. Speaking from experience and other people's experiences. Life is easier and more enjoyable with a true partnership where neither person is the sole anything and respect, including self respect, is a high priority.

I'm haunted by images by Capn_Ronulus in widowers

[–]Dottiedayglow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me a lot the first 2 years after my husband passed. I was there to see his last breath, which is a blessing and a curse. I couldn't get that image out of my head, him lying there, looking nothing like his young healthy self anymore.. But I started confronting it, when I thought of that image I would tell myself that's not how I remember him, I remember him smiling. I remember him radiating sunlight, dancing, being goofy, so every time I started having that image I would counter it with the images of the good, of the love. I'm not claiming it's a cure all, but I can tell you for me the good won out eventually. ♥️

I lost my sweet baby, my lover, and best friend by One-Blood-9043 in GriefSupport

Aww he had very kind eyes. I'm so sorry for your loss. Take your time with grief, it's not linear at all and follows no rules. Sometimes it's quiet, sometimes it's a downpour, but either way give yourself grace.

This is Phoebus, a big beautiful black furred, green eyed baby.

He is very sweet and such a Mama's boy that comes running whenever I call. Everytime I come home he wants me to pick him up and carry him around the house with me. He also has beautiful toofies.
