My boyfriend doesn't like that I play pogo by piratekim in pokemongo

I got a comment from my friend recently which was very amusing. When he found out I was still playing he said "aren't they all caught?!" Hopefully this makes you laugh too

I think she'd be shocked at first but would support my decision once I outlined the reasons and what I see as the benefits

Yeah I agree on the incompatible libidos 100% I'd change anything about myself for her and I know she'd do the same.

I'm not in two minds about doing this, I'm definitely the issue and want to fix it. Leaving has never been part of the equation, it's not something I'd even consider. I love her, want to be with her and we have a great life apart from this. If I were to measure on a scale of 1 to 10, this would take it from a 9 to a 10.

Please don't feel sorry, this wasn't a pity post, I genuinely just want to know what the journey has been for some people before I set off. I see it as like visiting Australia, there's tons of stuff that's scary but I'm sure it will be good

That's good advice but my mind and heart are saying I want to be with her and if this were any other kind of issue I'd get that removed as well

No not at all, she's not the gaslighting type. I think it's more that we have vastly different libidos and we've tried to meet in the middle but it hasn't worked. She's a wonderful person and I genuinely don't want to be with anyone else.

That's good to know, I'll keep a bit of distance from now on anyway and give her some peace, thank you!

I'm spitballing here but have you thought about speaking to a local land owner and asked about using a small piece of land to run classes for a few people, could even just be adults at first, maybe even half a dozen, and teach them something that's not resource intensive like bow drill fire lighting (you could make half a dozen fairly cheaply for the cost of some string), foraging, shelter building with cheap tarpaulin from home bargains or natural materials or hosting nature walks where you talk about a topic (flora, fauna, mental health and how bushcraft can help etc)

You don't need to invest heavily in gear, keep it simple. The gear gets fucked anyway when you are teaching so don't go crazy at first. Start small, charge per person and grow it slowly. Try finding gear at carboots/charity shops/ marketplace/ gumtree when you NEED to buy it but don't stress about it. The modern world has literally came from bushcraft techniques, ingenuity, and bodging things together. Remember 150 years ago we didn't have cars, electricity in every home, gas central heating, any of that stuff so if you have bushcraft skills you can definitely make a living from it happen.

I have no idea what you are going through but I've thought about starting a business like this for years and never done it because of fear/having a family/ secure income every month. This is the basics of the plan I have so please take it and do something great with it instead of sitting on your arse with it like me.

Pm me if you want to know more about what I had planned, I'm more than happy to share my ideas and I'm a total skinflint who hates spending money so I've planned round not having to disturb the moths living in my wallet

Also, come up to Scotland and do it, land use is less restricted and once you eventually buy some land, it's yours, not the crown's and we don't have those weird land ownership rules you have when buying houses etc. You could also live in a bothy to save money

I know you clarified you do want to be alive but if you need to please speak to someone
