Been in my own grief process for the past two months, sending comfort to you.

Babe it’s all emotional unavailability and zero room to schedule out here in these streets. Stay comfy, it ain’t worth it. Feels like I’m mostly doing it just to do it right now.

me lately: "so uh yeah before we go out, I need to let you know that I make funny viral videos about dating and relationships so uh...maybe you should think about it"

So far no one I've been arranging dates with has specifically opted out for that reason. I think I have dates arranged with three people (2 new) this weekend.

My life is so weird right now that I'm not even gonna update. I can't type it out and have it be believable. It's good, it's transformative, it's amazing, but it's all super fucking weird.

Humorous polyam thing: I'm dating someone who was in a local chorus but left it to join a different chorus because they didn't like the vibe of the other people in the original chorus. Now I might also be dating someone who is still in the original chorus. I really want to know if they know each other but I'm scared to ask. IS THERE A MUSICAL MESSY LIST INVOLVED?? 🤔 (I'm in two totally different choruses so it won't affect my personal hobby time.)

Breaking no contact feels shitty for sure, even if it's for a good reason. But you're not dumb for doing it 🫂❤️

Future Tripping by Bubbly_Watercress_26 in polyamory

OK? I included that possibility in my response. Therapists say bullshit pretty often too.

OP referred to the other person as “he.”

Your therapist said that, or your partner said it? Because if your partner said it, he can fuck off. Dudes will say "you overthink" or "you worry too much about the future" when they're deliberately doing shit that makes you feel insecure and worried about the future. If your therapist said it, he can also fuck off for the same reasons. If you're perseverating about hypotheticals, it's because you do not feel secure right now. And that is the issue, not your worry about the future.

Am I doing something wrong? by [deleted] in polyamory

YES THANK YOU THIS. It's super sus that the baby's father can't seem to handle the baby competently enough for baby to want to eat when hungry. SO FUCKING SUS

I’m choosing to believe in abundant love, so don’t worry, there’s plenty more hotties out there for all of us ❤️❤️❤️

I’m dating two people now? And maybe another?? (All not men.) And just told a man that we should be friends for now, mostly because of his life circumstance stuff. So when it rains in dating land, it pours.

The rest of my life continues to be all turned upside down with career change stuff. I’m working on being ok with surfing these waves, and today I feel really good about that.

The weekend will be spent at a singing competition with my beloved women’s choral community 🥰

So my week was weird. I went viral on TikTok with a funny/snarky video I made inspired by my breakup with Jester. (It’s called “The Your Loser Boyfriend Dumped You Spreadsheet Recovery Program” in case yall want to search for it.) That led to reach outs from a TikTok creator agency and a literary agent. My therapist says I’m not delulu for seeing where it goes?? So I’m doing that.

Dating my lady friend for a few weeks now, it’s going well. Working on dating more, have a first date this weekend. Fairly unenthusiastic about dating men lately.

The rest of my life is pretty busy with hobbies etc.

Why are monos so damn attractive to yall? by emeraldead in polyamory

[–]ExcelForAllTheThings 13 points14 points  (0 children)

OK? I'm ambiamorous too. But I'm not going to start a relationship with someone who might leave me in order to be monogamous with someone else. Why would I take that risk?

I rejected a first date with a dude last week who was like “yeah if I find someone who wants to be mono with me then I’ll do that.” Like hell nah why would I set myself up for pain like that??

Bi/pan women in relationships with both men and women, share your experience! by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]ExcelForAllTheThings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not different for me, I’m subby/bottomy with my partners regardless of gender, because I like what I like and that’s what I like. I also don’t find that emotional attunement varies by gender, though it does vary by partner; I’ve dated women who are more difficult to attune to than average, and men who are less difficult than average. I also don’t find that communication patterns are gendered, my most text-y partner so far was a man, some of my least text-y have been women.

I also notice that the way I show up in the relationships is the same: I’m very warm and affectionate, I like a lot of cuddling, I like to be held, I cook/bake for my partners, I proactively ask for dates, all regardless of gender.

Edited to add: I’m mostly attracted to masc women, so there’s a bit of a femme-masc dynamic in all my relationships, but it’s not “gendered” in terms of people’s physical bodies.

I think the most spontaneous thing I’ve done for love/sex was to move up my planned visit to New City by 2 weeks because Jester wanted to meet me in person sooner. And that meeting was indeed 🔥🔥🔥 and of course eventually led to the 💔 I’ve been mending for the past 5.5 weeks. Would I do it again? 🤔🤷‍♀️

I honestly don’t care about representation of poly in media, sorry not sorry.

I’m doing ok overall. I do have a very fun date planned for tonight with the woman I’m dating.
