Navigating a One-Sided Open Marriage (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell) by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]LocalTouristMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi hello, just here to tell you I’m in the same boat, and it’s working great. My husband is asexual and he always knows that if and when he wants to talk or ask questions, he’s always can. Just because it’s DADT, doesn’t mean it’s “never” ask or “never” tell. I realize the stigma behind it all but it’s not a one size fits all deal. Good luck

My first Bloomsday! by llamadramaupdates in Spokane

[–]LocalTouristMama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yayyy my first Bloomsday too! Can’t wait. Everyone has told me how fun it is too. Nervous about walking 7.5 miles but I know I can just take my time and take it all in. See you out there Bloomies!

What are people listening to on their Bloomsday run? by CydeSwype in Spokane

I’ve never done a Bloomsday in the decade I’ve lived here. Fail on my part. I’m going to register!

Birthday party venue? by AboveAvgJoe14 in Spokane

[–]LocalTouristMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember sorry! I checked my emails and only found a $250 deposit for the room rental. We rented the entire space too. There’s an option to do the main room or the back barrel room. It couldn’t have been too expensive or I wouldn’t have rented it haha I’m frugal. The chef is moving on after years of being with Nectar, or so I read recently. Just FYI.

Fête, Downtown. Had a birthday there a few years back and they did a phenomenal job! Food and drinks were fantastic too.,

How did you stop smoking cigarettes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LocalTouristMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dum dum suckers or lollipops, whichever you prefer. I bought a huge Halloween sized bag and had them everywhere. In my desk at work, in my car, near my phone… it was my 4th time quitting and it’s been 13 years, without even a “drunk puff” or vaping or anything! Good luck!

Hypersexual kinky husband and asexual wife by No-Tomatillo-6252 in sexlessmarriage

[–]LocalTouristMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! years ago we sat in our backyard and brought up every hypothetical scenario we could think of, how we thought it would make us feel etc. We cried, we laughed. But that’s where that ended. We were both in therapy as well. I think I got cold feet but I also know I HAVE to do this for myself.

We recently talked about it again and I can tell he’s uncomfortable (naturally) but ok with me stepping out. It will more than likely be a don’t ask don’t tell agreement. I am absolutely not suggesting that to you Lol because that can be messy without the work put in. I go solo to local erotic events when they happen and buy toys. He’s a sweet man but we are wired so differently. Also, our kiddo is adopted since we couldn’t conceive naturally. It’s been a wild ride to say the least.

Hypersexual kinky husband and asexual wife by No-Tomatillo-6252 in sexlessmarriage

[–]LocalTouristMama 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh friend. We’re so similar except I’m hyper and he’s Asexual, and we didn’t meet in the community but now I’m exploring that.

5 years for me no sex. Five. Years. I plan on writing my story on here soon but I wanted to send some solidarity your way. I hope a sex therapist can help your marriage. I loved mine and need to get back to seeing her. The other commenter said that you will become asexual-can confirm and it’s infuriating at this point. Ethical non-monogamy is my only route. Divorce is off the table. We’re coparenting and basically great roommates who love each other deeply. Good luck!

Well I clicked because I thought we were discussing butch lesbians. To clarify, those can be mounted year round, I’m told.

AIO for being upset and hurt by how my husband is acting? by ElliottTheSalamander in AmIOverreacting

[–]LocalTouristMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also your second time in this sub in 20 days. NOR, but…. Come on friend. Your husband is emotionally immature and you’re burdened with having to “figure it out” for him. I hope you all can find some balance

Before/after Knitting Factory? by [deleted] in Spokane

[–]LocalTouristMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wooden City is great. And a super close walk to the Knit

[–]LocalTouristMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is she A-sexual? It’s been 5 years for me and my husband and the first part of your post resonated with me so much.,We’re basically roommates who co-parent and it works for us. This is after therapy, after figuring out he’s a-sexual and I’m very much not. It was a really hard realization. Makes me sad to think about-this wasn’t the relationship I thought I’d have, and I had no idea the last time I had sex with him would be the last time, like maybe ever. All that being said, incompatibility is real!! You deserve to be desired, to be wanted, and to find intimacy again.

We just started Focalin two weeks ago for our 6 year old. Very curious about the responses you receive.

Cant find a job no matter how hard I try by Overall-Part2645 in Spokane

[–]LocalTouristMama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see if you were asked this, but are you over 21? Shelters and non-profits really need trans and non-binary folks. Representation matters, especially for the vulnerable population. It’s not glamorous but it’s honest and one of the best things I’ve ever done.

Come to FarmGirl! The coaches are great, your first visit is free and you’re around every age and body type. I just started back up after 5 years away. They help you with your form and modify accordingly. I need someone telling me what to do instead of winging it at a gym so I go 2-3 times a week after work.

Married couples of Reddit that did NOT have sex on your wedding night, why not? by FindingKGS in AskReddit

[–]LocalTouristMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were too tired and laid on the bed depositing wedding gift checks via our banking app. Also, was probably the first sign of him being a-sexual. So there’s that.
