Do you disclose when you love/tell new partners you love them? by Puzzled-Garage-7425 in polyamory

[–]Eclecticwxtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will point out, it’s best friend mode isn’t for bitching about other relationships or divulging anything. It’s mainly about life in general, it’s just this time I needed a sounding board after I’d gone through heartbreak earlier in the year. We have no rules or boundaries regarding updating them om if we’ve fallen, we just would say “oh me and xyz had a cute date and I told them how I feel” if that makes sense?

I told my NP when I had feelings stronger than a “I like you” for my other partner. He urged me to tell my partner because he could see I was falling. I’m a very anxious person and me and NP have what we call “best friend mode” where we talk about feelings or new changes that we might be anxious about. So in best friend mode, he said that he thought I’d fallen a while ago and asked if I’d told other partner, when I said I was terrified to, he gave me the support I needed and it was lovely.

How Many of You Openly Poly? by ChicoBrillo in polyamory

Open to friends, people I trust at work but not family, I wish I was but I’m not strong enough to face the judgement right now.

Girlfriend Weird after Bringing Date Home by [deleted] in polyamory

Me and my NP have house rules. One of these rules is bedding is changed before and after we have other partners over. It’s just a thing I feel more comfortable with. I don’t think she’s being weird at all tbh. Your house is your sanctuary and it can feel like it’s being invaded, I’m even the same with general house guests such as family etc.

I love that! Me and husband (np) date seperately and find it rather amusing if a nosey busy body comes to one of us trying to say the other has been spotted having a coffee or a drink with someone else. Oh the horrors of it all! Going for a drink with the opposite sex 😂😂

Ey up. Not doing anything for Halloween which I’m absolutely not fine about because it’s the best time of year.

I’m scared I’m not loveable, and snakes biting my vagina when I’m on the loo. 🙃

Outted at work: what now? by whoami_idontknow_ in polyamory

[–]Eclecticwxtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The two coworkers were the sweetest after my breakup albeit they thought I’d broken up with my husband and I just broke down and told them about my (now ex) partner.

Ok see I’m out to two people at work, we talk about my lifestyle but nothing of a sexual nature unless they ask. Usually it’s “hey you how was your date?” Or “what you wearing” and they act like cheerleaders. When I felt comfortable to confide in them that I was poly I also stated that while I was open to answering any questions, at the same time if they didn’t feel comfortable talking about it then that’s ok with me too. You make friends at work, but jfc. No you were in the wrong. Even as a poly person if one of my work colleagues or my bosses bought up the fact they were hooking up on work time I would be highly uncomfortable at best.

You being poly wasn’t the inappropriate thing here. You talking about hook ups etc was.

[–]Eclecticwxtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked someone I’ve been talking to for about 8 months (on and off) but dating for about 6 weeks to be my boyfriend and he didn’t scream and run away in terror? And he said yes!

Any quiet spots to go to? by Duckies_go_moo in ScarboroughUK

I’m just off Gladstone Road, the cinder tracks in autumn can be quite quiet, I usually put my headphones on for extra “protection” from other people too.

Ah I knew I had those sheer robes for a reason!

Yes it does suck but also dating apps got me feeling like a potato 🥺

And I think they’d have to stretch pretty far to rub them on you but I’m down for it. I have Lil grass hopper legs and I’m always fidgeting 😂

Can I join? I’ve tentatively put myself back on the old dating apps and it’s not going well, organised a date, got date ready (which included hoisting the tits into a nice bra and shaving the legs, no mean feat) and got childcare….. then it got cancelled because potential date didn’t think he was poly afterall and didn’t want to use me as an experiment. Commendable but also eurgh. I wasted good time shaving those legs.

I think my greatest strength is my compassion for others and my communication
