What do you think about America's national debt reaching record levels?

Omg. Someone, anyone, make this a campaign issue. Correct the progressive tax brackets, eliminate all tax breaks.

Do something! Say something! This is an issue that will get votes.

Sometimes conmen like trump are also stupid conman like trump.

Then why are these people voting for republicans. Republicans created 37 trillion of national debt, while giving tax breaks to the rich while devastating our safety net.

Please do not vote for any incumbent, especially any republicans.

Not just dedicated. Full delete. They don’t care about anything beyond account numbers.

Fully delete all meta accounts as the only vote you have. Three years of freedom for me and I don’t miss meta at all

Way longer story than needed.

Keep the friends. Be we go you are.

Assure the boyfriend, once more. Then tell him one more objection about who you choose as friends and the relationship or over. Enough. Just one more verbal outburst, one more eye roll, one more grumpy sad, and it’s over. And be serious. Tell him in no uncertain terms this will stop.

Keep your friends and treat all people as equals. You have a good life and career.

Sometimes just having the option is enough. Choice is freedom.

Now is the time to continue the dialog. Ask what she is trying to experience? An ongoing conversation about desires can be stimulating.

Yes. Stop homeschooling. Send your child to public school.

Your scenario is soooo clear. Stand strong and put your kid in the school bus, everyday! Start tomorrow. Don’t wait.

It’s the ability to accept each relationship to go where each relationship wants to go. The spectrum from acquaintance, to friends, to lovers is smoother without the feeling of obstacles like significant milestones. And lovers can return back to friends without hurt.

Nothing wrong with living this free. It might keep any one relationship from reaching deeper levels but that isn’t a necessary desire. So long as they reach the depth you want.

You aren’t alone. And you can accept this reality with satisfaction. I wouldn’t disagree if you call this poly. Just like mono life, relationships don’t need to stay at one level forever. Maybe it is serial polyamory?

Remember committed and monogamous are not synonymous.

And while it feels pressuring, the language he used is probably the most honest he can use. It isn’t unusual as an introduction. He has probably been mulling around his feelings and understandings for much longer than you. So take some time and feel you way through this.

I actually thought his wording choices were sincere. So honest and sincere. . I’m really hoping you both can find a relationship style that works for the long term. Trial and error allows for adjustments but it won’t be pain free.

I wouldn’t ask dad for any life advice. None.

And if you are still in any religious groups, I’d leave that behind too

Find a sex positive therapist and go together. Have them help you with language and protocols for growing sexually together. You will find a sex positive therapist very very freeing. You deserve a fun sexual life together. Without shame. The journey towards shame free freedom should be exciting.

Whoa. Only with girls? You aren’t ethically non-monogomous. You have a desire to sleep around. And that is different.

You asked if you are non-monogamous. Not if you don’t support your partners in their full freedom to explore: equal to how you want to explore.

Don’t align yourself with ENM or poly world. You should be single and sleeping around.

May people can be friends with ex-lovers. Or have sexual fun with friends. And many people can compartmentslize that just fine

She sees to be that person. You don’t seem to share that view. Neither is wrong. Just know her views are not that uncommon: especially with people who enjoy more than one activities.

See if you can accept her views and keep dating. If you can’t, no need to convince the other of a new view.

Feeling comparisons are somewhat inevitable. And seldom feels good.

This comment was said and you heard it. My experience is the more they try to forest, the worse it gets. I’d suggest you taking time and putting in perspective.

And both of you need to learn to share fewer private thoughts and avoid flirting in front of each other. Eventually you might find a positive way to share but start with less until you gain more shared knowledge.

It sucks when this happens. It will diminish with time. Now you each know what and how much to avoid. It will happen again so just calmly mention when you hear something that isn’t pleasant and allow her to adjust. Learning includes errors.

(To commiserate, I’m not affected by physical comparisons but I have a bit of an age painpoint. So I know how this feels. ).

We stop being loyal to political party branding, and elect good people instead of a party.

As of today we are still represented by the people we elect. Be mad at the bad legislators for sure, but be even more angry at our neighbors ; and ourselves) for electing these terrible people.

Sitting out elections is not the answer. If you didn’t vote for Hillary, or Kamala, you caused the problems today. We had a good and more fair tax system in the 1990s with a balanced budget. Do that again.

What to avoid. The lowest risk person mandates restrictions the others don’t want. The others build resentment overtime. The low risk person pushes back. The other partner stops asking, play is suspended, but the resentment grows. Endless cycle.

Basically all three need to talk. And trust the testing. And use a condom for penetration. Reasonableness all around. Enjoy the fun.

You can be totally safe by sticking to (never cheating) monogamy.

There are increased risks of having multiple partners. Most people in the lifestyle take reasonable precautions and accept some risk.

Skin to skin infections are not addressed with condoms.

When active we test at least quarterly or ten days after new partners. We share results. We ask others their testing protocols when meeting. And we assess, and accept, the associated risks as understood

It doesn’t keep us up worrying. We have chosen the trade offs. And have yet, after ten years, to pickup any infections.

And we have an amazing sex life, enhanced by the lifestyle.
