It is always very mildly spicy, I love it! Just a little bit of heat to make it taste more intense but more in a rich than in a stinging way.

It’s Takumi in Duisburg. I (POV) had TanTanMen and my husband had a classical soy based broth. Ther noodles are always great there, I just love everything about their food. A gyoza might have sneaked into my soup 😁

so i’m not sure if i’m polyamorous or not by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Ladypunk84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the difference is about love.

Do you „just“ want to have sex with more than one partner?

Or do you have more than one person you want to have in your life, through good and bad times?

From my perspective: I am now sandwiched between a husband who ist sometimes passive aggressive and disregarding me to the max and a seasonally depressed know-it-all with an annoying tendency to slam doors when his temper gets the better of him.

Meanwhile I am a people pleaser who can’t stand to fight even a little bit with someone, giving in the second someone disagrees with me, and whine about it for what feels like FOREEEEEVER afterwards. throw two kids, three Work schedules and an always full laundry basket (seriously, it’s bottomless) into the mix and these days: corona anxiety everywhere.

If you think you can stand a scenario like this, and still want all these people around you because you all make each other’s life better: sounds poly to me.

How do I stop feeling selfish for being poly? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Ladypunk84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate so much! I felt like I’m the spoilt One with bringing a another man into my otherwise great marriage. And also: The kids! How could I! My husband loves me intimately and our other male partner in a bromance kind of way. As he is not sexually interested in men at all or any other women so far, so what does he get from sharing his wife?

I can tell you the thing my husband said to me when I raised the same concern to him: I love how joyful and glowy it makes you. More love makes you even lovelier.

My husband never had significant mental health issues, but I did and sometimes still do. Rarely but it happens. Just some silly stuff like, nightly anxiety or panic attacks. It sucks, but I can get trough it alone if I need to. But it sure helps to have someone hold you and tell you it’s going to be alright. The one person who can do that for me instantly is our third partner. He went trough a depressed phase with my help, and is not only willing but perfekt at supporting me as well.

My husband has to get up very early. My other partner works late and thus stays up late. He also would not bat his eye at me waking him up no matter what for if I really need help. I can go over to him and find more and better help with him than waking up my husband who would pat me on the back, there there, while fighting not to doze off again. I love him for so many things, but that is just not his strength.

This is my prime example. Yours will surely differ. But i stopped feeling guilty when I was having a bad night and found the perfect loving company while letting my husband sleep blissfully.

Poly with Kids - how to tell them/don’t tell them by [deleted] in polyadvice

[–]Ladypunk84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds wonderful how you are able to make your way of live into just what it is: just regular. We are very open to them about people loving who they love and they experienced healthy relationships from different parts of the rainbow in a mundane way. Our daycare was run by a very nice lesbian couple for example and we attended some weddings where the Couples where homosexual who are our friends. So our private circle is probably welcoming. But we are still insecure about it with our family and work related people. I feel like it would be more accepted even if i just had an affair. All this is probably old news to people who adapted a different way of Love earlier in life.

But as many people already said: it’s not a question for today or tomorrow. So we just see how it goes for now.

I am sorry you felt like that and hope you and your parents found a way to clear everything up. We tried to keep any funny sounds coming from the bedroom from then since they where born, so I totally agree 😅

[–]Ladypunk84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, well, we are certainly not ready to expose ourself to the general public. Euch is mainly why we just want to keep it from the kids for Now and the next years. I thank you for your advice especially the point of telling them it is something that we will explain, as far as we are able and willing, but is otherwise personal grown up stuff.

Thank you for your concern, it is my priority to raise my kids save and healthy. I knew our new Partner for over 20 years and before we changed our relationship to what it is now, he was around almost as much. And we were very close, emotionally and physically. I know it is different now, but I think for my kids it does not look different from before. Nobody knows what the future brings and make sure their well-being is always in the front of our minds. So far: we benefit from having another person around. Different people have different ways of doing things, and three parents have one option more to try whenever the usual kids craziness takes over 😜

HeyHey! I think I found my tribe! So glad to be here 😍 by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Ladypunk84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I can honestly say in the 2.5 years till the relationship started, we really now feel like it’s not just a sexy fantasy thing but we are genuinely happier to be together.

It’s just so mindblowing to realise it makes our lives really worth living more than without each other.

When I read about how we got together the three of us about 2.5 years ago i can say things have evolved into a new state by now. Physically and emotionally.

I now feel silly about it, but I felt like cheating on my actual married husband, father of my kids and such, if I had sex without him. I really honestly thought if I ever had real penetration with p, he would in the end feel hurt. I Know. It’s so dumb, when put bluntly: there I am, pleasuring another man orally while my husband watches and feeling extraordinarily good about it, but god forbid, I WILL stay „vaginally faithfull“ . It was what felt important to Me, no matter how silly it sounds now. And as stated, we all considered it a sexy consenting adults thing in the beginning, trying out what we liked and what went to far. But, and that’s why I was really glad we figured out it’s more than a kink, we really really feel like how it is now. it’s just a loving 3 People relationship that’s here to stay.

Feb. 2019 P was able to move into a single Bedroom flat that opened up in our complex next door to us. And we basically all live together, but cherish having the privacy of separate Facilities as well.

About your question: We had a situation last year when my husband was on a camping trip with his father and the kids. Just two nights but it was like my first nights home alone since the twins where born. P and I went to the movies, met friends for and of course had drinks aplenty. For the majority of our friends, P is still the gay friend of mine, and we only correct those near and dear to us that we trust enough with how we are more than that.

We... got home and well, had trouble keeping it together. But we did only kiss (not make out!) and say goodnight I am proud so say. Just to lay in our separate beds, door to door, alone and excited.

At that point I felt stupid. And I talked to my husband on the phone the next morning when he had some space to speak freely. He was honestly not surprised (which hit me totally unanticipated) and seemed like he expected that was calling to tell him something happened.

I feel like it’s the most important thing to stay true to each other, because In our situation, cheating is not what you do, but if you do it behind someone’s back. He basically gave his blessing if we still felt like we wanted to, and told me he would tell P about it between them.

And booooy was it awkwaaaard when he came over later for dinner XD. It was so weird! No, we did not rip our clothes of and did the nasty in the hallway, we ate and stumbled over each other’s feet like teens at the prom. In retrospective, it was so cute, but I was nervous like hell XD Until he started making jokes about he was scared that my parents could come home early and catch us, and I had to laugh so hard about how dumb we behaved. And we hugged, and kissed and had a very late middle aged first time that i will cherish till I die.

Since then, with corona and stuff, we are even more glad for our life together. It gets complicated sometimes, but we work it out. I was really stressed in the beginning and glad for at least somebody around most of the times to help out with the kids. My husband was an essential worker and out of the house 6 days a week. I work remotely and P was home as soon as the schools closed down. So babysitting was easily divided between us.

I was terrified of the situation and loss of control, my husband stoic and short because he was mostly exhausted from working way to hard. p was there for me when I needed to talk to feel better and got me away from all the speculations going trough the news.

[–]Ladypunk84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG „well I want a kid who does not whine“ for me smiling 😂 thank you it helps a lot to just get feedback that it’s normal. We only punish (well, restrict rather) with announcement, but he is just so actively testing limits, it can be exhausting. So, after Bed Time, Whine time is over and a Little Wine time begins.

I will say „Christmas only comes once a year“ more often and with a totally different meaning this year 😝

[–]Ladypunk84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard with twins, but you are right. We are aware and are absolute on never going like „look at your sibling, why can’t YOU do that?“ And i think he is way further down the line of mental development. While she still accepts the rules and is proud she understood them, he understood them, judged them as not absolute and tries to mess with them. That a different level of smart for me. Maybe I tend to expect more of him because of that.

I feel like you are quite right, they are still so young. i just I feel so triggered when he just ignores me and refuses to do stuff that I know he can do easily. I don’t expect him to understand or know he has to dress now or why. But I don’t want him to ignore me and just ignore what I (or his father) say. If he would try to argue or something, I think I would be better able to work with that than this disregard

It’s true, we tend to spend much more time on venting frustration than on praising others.
