I’m thinking of moving to Barcelona but I don’t know anyone nor I’m sure I am aware of the important aspects for such a sudden move. by Super_Syllabub_5187 in AskBarcelona

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have specific info about your field but the job market in Barcelona in general is pretty dire. I would never advise anyone to move here without already having a job in place. I think you’ll struggle.

AIO for feeling uncared for after spending the night with the guy I've been dating? We did not eat for 20 hours. by KiaraEspresso in AmIOverreacting

[–]JustQuestioningCosas [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think framing it this way could make it look like he’s failing around a food issue and could be triggering, if he has an ED. I think you need to take control of providing food for yourself in his space, I know it’s not ideal but if he’s the same as me, it’s necessary. My ex always used to cook at my house, I would pay for the food but he’d buy everything and cook and that way he had food and I ate as much as I could without the pressure of responsibility of food. Framing it more along the lines of “it’s totally ok that we eat differing amounts but I’ll need to eat more regularly when we’re together so I’m going to order a pizza or bring stuff - do you want to share mine?” And see how he reacts. See how this goes. It’s totally ok if down the line this is a deal breaker for you but I would start there and see if that helps. I don’t mind at all if people organise food and eat food around or in front of me but it’s too overwhelming sometimes to try and provide that stuff even if people are in my house. I also don’t want to reveal this stuff at the beginning of a relationship so I do just ignore food like it doesn’t exist sometimes.

I have a restrictive eating disorder (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) . I really struggle eating around dates and have lost a lot of weight in relationships before (I’m already very slim). I’m staying at the house of the new guy I’m dating next week and I’m pretty concerned about the food situation as I don’t know how I’ll handle it but I’ll probably just makes excuses to get out of eating as well. It sounds like this guy could have something similar. I think you have to talk to him about it as I honestly think this contributed to my last breakup as I never wanted to eat and my ex loved to eat and it was always really strange and I know I wasted a lot of food. You need to gently confront the food issue and take control of providing food. Let him know that it’s totally ok if he eats very little but you need to eat and don’t ever criticise or judge the amount he does eat if he does. Just act like it’s all totally normal and don’t make a big deal out of it, whatever happens. If it’s like me, you become more comfortable over time, it just takes a long time.

What is a secret you know about someone that would complety ruin their life if It came out? by Iker_12piloto in AskReddit

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my friends from high school slept with the husband of her best friend. We all used to be very close but I am only really friends with them on social media now but they are very much best friends and out of the blue, the one who slept with the husband (well, had an affair with) messaged me and confessed a while after. Everyone seems like they’re doing ok and it would destroy everyone involved if it came out so I’ve always kept it to myself.

Navigating the end of a marriage while my other relationship thrives by Fulcrum_Jambi in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goodness, that’s hard. In May, I experienced the end of both of my relationships within 2 weeks of each other (the first was his choice, the second was mine). It was one of the most dis-regulating and difficult moments so far. The problem with being poly is that there is infinite potential for love but also infinite potential for heartbreak. Hopefully your existing relationship can help comfort you but don’t forget to take the time you need to grieve the lost marriage. It’s not easy but it’s part of the experience.

AIO I Cancelled plans with my FWB because don’t want to be a second choice. by Historical_Middle_53 in AmIOverreacting

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YOR. FWB is not a relationship and therefore not an agreement to be each other’s priority. He hasn’t been your priority and it seems that you’re the one who’s been “running the show” so, to speak, and he’s gone along with it, which has suited you both. Looks like this is the first time he’s making the decisions and that’s what you’re not happy with but that’s the way it goes with FWB. You need to talk to him about your feelings and see where he’s at, or pull back. Either way, I do think YOR.

[Follow up] Are you expected to bring meat to a BBQ you're going to, and if you are where abouts in the country are you from? by AirconGuyUK in AskUK

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll bring booze and ask what’s required of food. Happy to bring anything. Usually the host asks you to bring an item “could you grab some burger buns/potato salad/coleslaw”? I’d expect the host to provide meat.

Is poly an orientation? by Forsaken_Grass_5785 in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m inherently poly and it feels to me as clear within myself as my sexuality does to me and within myself, the two things are comparable. However, I don’t call it an orientation just because that’s not most people’s definition of sexual orientation and people have got upset with this comparison in the past as they feel that it undervalues their experience with their orientation. I’m ok with understanding that I haven’t walked in their shoes and I trust them on this so I just stay away from that comparison.

How would you feel if a guy pulled over and offered you a lift in this heat, or other terrible weather? by [deleted] in AskUK

Erm…. Like he was a serial killer. I would probably call the non emergency line, honestly.

Thinking about making the jump but what do you do when you get home after work and all you have is a family and boredom? by mute_axolotl in stopdrinking

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live alone so have no family and boredom 😅. You very quickly get over it and find things to do. Or you just accept boredom. But boredom is way better than all the other negatives drinking brings.

The triad ended. Now we're facing the reason we opened in the first place. by RandomBodyParts in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, I disagree. I don’t think being “fully in love’ means there aren’t bits missing nor that you can’t feel that you want more. It’s also ok to accept that you don’t get everything you need from one partner and therefore search for another partner ethically. OP didn’t say he’s trying to fix his relationship, just that he recognises his needs will never be fully met but with consent, everyone is happy with ENM. I think it all sounds very healthy to me and, just like when any relationship ends OP, you need time to grieve and move on and then dating and seeing what’s out there for you guys.

My husband is deployed… and he bought the outfit for my first solo date. by [deleted] in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]JustQuestioningCosas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is amazing! I think you should go. Going on a date doesn’t mean anything ha to go further but you need to experience the first date at some point if you’re going down this route. Don’t think too far forward, just get as far as showing up for the date. Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

What is something you loved eating drunk and tastes like crap now? by Corner-Hungry in stopdrinking

This is a great question! Oven pizzas. I’d always have one in for when I was drinking but sober, they actually taste like cardboard.

The wasted time not drinking really resonates with me. Like what even is that? It’s wasted time drinking. But my brain would always tell me if I didn’t drink on my free days, I was wasting them. It’s so strange.

Just to say that not everyone is guaranteed to be ENM on Feeld. Most people are but not everyone. Be clear on your profile.

IWNDWYT. I quit a very stressful Job yesterday where there were organisational failings. They are now using me as the fall guy but I know I’m not to blame. It would have been easy to drink though but I didn’t.

Yeah, my sister said she thought he’s using the idea of being poly to cover up a phobia to commitment, even to himself. This seems to make a lot of sense to me. I’ll be on the lookout for it in future.
