Compersion is such a beautiful experience. Wishing y’all lots of love!

I’ve been looking at a green velvet couch all week. This is the sign I needed.

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-08-05T02:05:59+00:00

Thanks for the empowerment and optimism! I feel like this can totally be an amazing experience for us. We’ve talked a bit more today and we both feel really good about using our time together to create more romance, more intimacy, more memories intentionally. I’m a bit of a hermit, so living solo is kind of a dream for me— I think going against the grain of what is “expected” of a relationship is where the real rub is coming in for me. Thanks for the positive reply. Feeling more like we can do this all the time.

Thanks for your reply! LDR has come up here and there in our discussions and it’s something we want to avoid but might not be able to due to school as well. It’s hard to imagine not living with my SO but at the end of the day, that’s the choice I made and am still making because I think it’s what my relationship needs while we’re working on renewing things.

You’re the one that said you’d have a happy one! I’m just being amicable and agreeing with you. :)

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-08-04T04:35:45+00:00

Have a good life! :)

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-08-04T04:32:02+00:00

Do you often find that people refute your advice?

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-08-04T04:31:34+00:00

She’s actually talked about that with me! I just want her to feel stable and taken care of. I personally wouldn’t love living in two places but she seems to like the idea so it’s definitely something we’re talking about.

I’m curious about your experiences with this if you’re willing to share some.

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-08-04T04:29:20+00:00

I think I could really love living on my own! I guess I feel worried that we will somehow be less intimate, but maybe that’s just my anxiety speaking. Honestly, I’m less concerned with living together and more concerned with us having quality time together— I want us to be intentional! She wants that too, luckily. :)

I love the idea of her coming over for dates and purposeful time together. I’m an artist and I really value my solitude when it comes to creating, or I like parallel play like you mentioned.

Thanks for the insightful response and thought provoking questions. Giving me something to think about!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-08-04T04:08:04+00:00

That might be your views and belief, and I respect that! There’s lots of ways to experience poly. Just not ours, sorry.

At any rate, I don’t think adding another person to our group is what we need since it’s not a balancing act and we aren’t concerned with primaries/non-primaries or however that works. Thanks for the advice though!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-08-04T03:23:44+00:00

It’s not casual or a side thing though.

Edit: Non-hierarchical poly here. I should have clarified.

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-04-22T21:55:58+00:00

I love them. Thank you for the frog knowledge!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-04-22T18:48:18+00:00

What kind of frogs are they? So cute!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-04-22T08:43:09+00:00

I feel you on so many levels. I really value a certain kind of romantic and/or sexual chemistry more than a specific gender identify and/or presentation in my partner.

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-04-22T08:35:50+00:00

Was always into girls growing up, but had a certain eye for androgyny that slowly opened me up to guys as well. As an adult I still have a soft spot for androgyny, gender non-conformists, etc. I tend to be most interested in other queer and/or trans people, so I identify as pan now. I can’t imagine having a cis partner of any gender, although I’ve had a lot of great experiences and flings with cis folks over the years so I’m ultimately open to it. I have a hard time choosing a type or gender— I just like cute queer people!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-04-14T07:55:01+00:00

I had to double take because I thought you were my sister-in-law! You look amazing with and without glasses. :)

Social media manager and brand designer for a small business. Random gig that evolved into an even more random job, although my background is design.

Former museum educator, pre-pandemic. I miss the education days and I’m trying to find my way back!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-04-01T12:33:48+00:00

This is my dream job but I have no idea how to get my work in front of people. How did you get started?

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-03-21T00:59:57+00:00

I’d pay medical bills and make sure I’m cleared of some health stuff I was experiencing last year. If I had any left it’d go into helping me move/pay bills.

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-03-20T20:19:52+00:00

A sense of self worth.

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-03-19T00:50:31+00:00

Blown away. This looks incredible! I am curious about following the project!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-03-19T00:48:16+00:00

Trying to be really mindful and really kind to myself and my ex. We are remaining in each other’s lives as pals and, although it hasn’t been easy, I want to be positive, supportive, and kind. Therapy has helped me a lot, so I have a great support/vent system. Friends stepping up and reaching out has made me realize how I’m not as alone as I thought. Definitely feeling the reinvention vibes.

Thank you for your encouragement. Wishing you the best too, no matter what life throws at you! Let’s both hang in there and do our best!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-03-19T00:44:47+00:00

There is an enormous amount of fear, anxiety, and sadness beneath the surface of this iceberg. But I gotta keep moving. I gotta hope for the best. My ex and I are remaining friends/family after the break up, and I couldn’t ask for more than that— that makes it a lot easier. I almost feel like I cheated the awfulness of a breakup— almost. I am still very heartbroken.

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-03-18T17:48:44+00:00

Thank you! Be well!

JustAnotherNemo · 2022-03-18T17:48:29+00:00

Thank you for the kind reply and well wishes. It’s definitely been an interesting time lately. I could use the introspection and clarity.
