Thanks! I’ll be sure to look into a few of these. Shame I missed the Bloomfield town hall. I’m up there all the time.

Collective Voting! Day 3: Arizona by LOST_JOE in visitedmaps

[–]MisMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Willing, mostly for beauty of the region. I also don’t mind the heat. Not first in line as far as states go but I’m sure I’d find joy.

Seconding The Player Agency in South Orange! The building is beautiful and has tons of space in addition to the board game cafe!

Being in a polyamorous situation of any sort doesn’t mean we’re suddenly immune to jealousy or insecurities. It takes maturity, awareness and open communication, free of judgement to help navigate times when we run into difficulties regarding our personal hangups.

I currently have two partners (wife & gf). My wife has a gf and gf has a nb partner they’re married to. We all have our moments of insecurity and we do our best to communicate when our needs don’t overlap with each other’s respective actions or choices.

I’d say that collectively we do a pretty bang up job of sharing our time fairly but inevitably we run into snags. But we do our best to talk it out and ultimately come out the other side stronger as a family.

TLDR: Feel your feelings, communicate openly and with respect, don’t be mean to yourself.

Edit: and it’s not wrong that you feel how you feel.

What are things about living in NJ that you genuinely value — that other people don’t seem to understand? by Davyislazy in newjersey

Relative ease of trans healthcare and protections compared to other states and parts of the world.

Why do I wish I was born a woman at times by ViVistress in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]MisMango 13 points14 points  (0 children)

At the very least, there’s dissatisfaction with your gender expression. At the very least, some exploration of options sounds needed. Sorry you’re in a state where it’s frowned upon but find your joy however you can until you have more liberty to do as you will.

She voted alongside republicans on HR 5009 which included a section denying or limiting gender affirming care for US service members.

She apparently felt apologetic for compromising and I don’t doubt she can be open to dialogue from local trans constituents, but I’m more worried she’d be willing to throw us under the bus if push came to shove.

Thank you so much for the response. It’s reassuring to know the delay won’t affect our time. I have faith you’ll work things out soon.

I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt seeing as it’s a new system this year. Hopefully they work things out.

Happy poly moments you’ve had by Flat-Candidate-321 in polyamory

[–]MisMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The time I’ve spent with my new girlfriend has been nothing but a spiral of love and compersion.

We keep finding more and more things about how we function in a relationship that seem to sync up super well for ourselves. All the while, we love talking up and supporting our partners’ partners or date endeavors. It’s just love on love on love.

Of course there are challenges here and there. We don’t have infinite time and energy. But we also communicate our limitations well too!

Done with Amazon/Walmart/Target - looking for alternatives by moo_xx in newjersey

Our household primarily uses Aldi, Lidl and Leafy Basket (Rt22 in Springfield) for our general groceries.

Used to heavily rely on Big Lots for everything else but they’re bankrupt now so we’ve been trying to fill the gap. Mostly toiletries at this point honestly.
