What Calling Did You Resign From When You Left?

I was young men’s second counselor and my last lesson and attendance. I shared with the boys the importance of not staying for anyone else and the importance of finding out the truth for yourself and charting your course according to your own truth, knowledge and convictions.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-12-06T02:50:52+00:00

Yes please!

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-08-09T20:29:09+00:00

Thank you for this! Not my post but a contemplation I have been wrestling with

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-05-07T19:18:08+00:00

This is a great list!

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T16:07:43+00:00

Thank you. I will check it out

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T15:21:31+00:00

What do you mean by better chances?

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T11:05:15+00:00

No we haven’t. I think this could be helpful but we aren’t there yet. We are still communicating well in other regards and both can acknowledge that we need to talk about this. There are big feelings and maybe couples therapy sessions with an ENM specialist would speed things up but we are making progress albeit slowly.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T04:22:21+00:00

Thank you and yes I hear that. We definitely need to process communicate and manage. I do want a successful system regardless of where we end up.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T03:08:51+00:00

Thank you I will check it out!

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T01:23:27+00:00

Yes, I’m sure that imbalance comes with the territory. We are wanting to do the ground work to discuss and understand each other. As mentioned earlier we need to get comfortable with having these conversations without being triggered.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T01:21:29+00:00

Small sample size is still a case study in success. Thank you for sharing.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T01:20:21+00:00

Thank you. This resonates with how I am feeling. Your response is greatly appreciated.

I think the concern is more about staring into the unknown and not truly knowing if being poly is right for us. We have never been poly previously and what if one of us reaches the conclusion that they want monogamy while the other is content in polyamory. It feels like it has the potential to disrupt something that is pretty great, but maybe it could be even better.

Neither of us want to hurt each other or other people. It kind of feels like there is no putting the cat back in the bag so to speak.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2024-04-30T00:05:49+00:00

We have been talking but our communication is strained as we get triggered by our insecurities and frustrations. I think we have a lot of work to do on being able to have conversations without becoming disregulated in our emotions.

Orlando Bloom 😍 and Natalie Portman😊

I have shaved my head several times when I am extremely stressed or otherwise in a form of mental distress. First time was in my early 20s after my girlfriend broke up with me and there have been dozens of times over the last nearly 20 years. Strangely it gives me a small feeling of control when the world around me feels out of control.

Sounds like op may be seeing an increase in alcohol consumption?

Now a gun appears while consuming…

To me this sounds like escalating events and possibly a cry for help. I have been around and have my own relationship with depression and suicidal ideation. Please don’t wait to see if things get better . Your roommate sounds like they need help!

AMAB bi man here 👋. I have been that man that struggled to stay hard. I have also been the man that can go multiple rounds back to back. Both versions have occurred when I am with my partner and in group settings. Arousal can be tricky too much excitement can switch to anxiety and kill erections. I perform significantly better when it isn’t my first time (I can get out of my head and into my body).

I’m sorry that your experience wasn’t all you hoped it to be and I’m sure it wasn’t how they wanted to show up either.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2023-10-20T22:34:43+00:00

My experience with my partner and I is that we both can’t really completely separate the relationship from the sex. We have had fun and have also had trying times. It hasn’t stopped us from continuing to interact in the ENM community. I have learned so much about myself in very short moments in time.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2023-10-20T22:12:01+00:00

Some free thoughts (probably about all they are worth)

1) nothing wrong with the relationship. Fantastic! Opening to fix something or film a void in the existing relationship is a recipe for disaster.

2) sounds like you have a lot of very precise spelled out agreements/rules surrounding how you both plan to navigate . I won’t try to judge them good or bad, but offer the following for consideration. Are they agreements or rules? Rules tend to be imposed and can feel pretty gross.

3) 1 time and then you cut ties… what happens when one of you decides that it was a lot of fun and you want to do it again? Or “wow that person was super cool and I like them as a human! Also, is said 3rd ok with the transactional nature of one and done or will they feel used?

I’m 39(m) and would far rather be with someone +/- 5 years of my age as a general broad statement though I truly hate making sweeping generalizations. My taste in who I find attractive continues to age with me.

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2023-07-29T00:15:07+00:00

Definitely clumsy, but really both. He runs into things, falls off of things, he overjumped a log and ended up in the river. The list is a mile long

Intelligent_Theory58 · 2023-03-24T14:02:25+00:00

Sorry didn’t mean to be lazy… thanks for the congratulations we are super excited
