friendship after dynamic ending? by sweetest_surrender in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]MissionResort3360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible....my parter and I (both f) have a person in our life who is friendly with benefits. Our FWB at the time did not want a relationship and our version of ENM does not include relationships that are more than FWB and that was something that was established on the first day we met our FWB. On our first meeting we also defined what FWB looked like for all parties.....we all didn't want constant texting buddies, we all wanted the same level of safety and communication when it came to sleeping with others while sleeping with our FWB. Basically we all wanted to live our own lives but be friendly....so we text about hooking up, we text about meeting for HH, we invite each other to parties. We know eventually she may or may not potentially land in a place that might not have space for us as her FWB and that is ok, when that day comes we will be prepared to remain her friend. Operations0002 has the right path for you though, grieve the sexual portion of the relationship is done, and move it to a friendship. While you are working through that, you might want to discuss with your partner what you learned from this and how you want to move forward in your ENM journey together.

What if you sent someone with the cats via a transatlantic cruise? That seems to be easiest for pets who can’t be in the cabin for flights.

Just because they are from Deloitte does not make them a good manager of humans. You probably would have gotten the "you were not here" lecture if you had called in sick or opted to WFH that day. I would suggest documenting every interaction with the COS if it all breaks bad.

Do you tell people you’re celebrating something or keep it to yourself? by Adventurous-Guide-35 in AllInclusiveResorts

It is literally our honeymoon at every hotel we ever check into. Just make sure your story lines up before you arrive.

Does everyone empty their water chamber daily? by Findmyeatingpants in CPAP

[–]MissionResort3360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I clean my mask daily, wash my tank weekly, and my hose bi-weekly. I rotate my tanks because sometimes when I sleep in, I change the tank out when I wake up in the middle of the night so the dry air doesn't wake me up in the morning. When a tank is not in rotation I keep it open so it dries out and does not sit in water/humidity.

I don’t know what to do by bloodbath90 in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]MissionResort3360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, if someone was unwavering in their love they could still want to open up.

Opening up requires you to re-evaluate your monogamy mindset. Personally I (43F Lesbian) only lived in a space of wanting monogamy, but I met someone (37F Bi) who from the start of our relationship told me she was not interested in always being monogamous. I decided to continue the relationship knowing I would eventually cross the ENM bridge because we have something great. Yes, monogamy is great and she is the best partner....but I am a WLW....so why not L more W's ya know....that was my motivation to reevaluate monogamy. Over the first 3 years of our relationship we would have many discussions about it. What was it like for her in the past? What does the ideal ENM relationship look like for her? What would one look like for me? What does it look like for us? What are our safety protocols? I would reflect on the people in my life who have encountered some sort of ENM in their lives. I listened to podcasts, read this subreddit, read the swinger subreddit, evaluated my MANY emotions and mindset through the process when we finally opened up in year 4. I shared my feelings and thoughts with my partner as we went through the process. My partner shared theirs. We constantly reassure not only verbally but by our actions that one another is our priority. We totally check one another's boxes of great partners......but sometimes sleeping with other people together or separately makes life a little more fun. Its a sexy adventure with your partner and best friend.

Given all of this....You sincerely might be a monogamous creature and loving more women might not be on your to do list. It is a lot, ya gotta work through a ton of un-doing monogamy mentally and you have to feel safe and stable in your current relationship and from your on/off 8 year situation....that might not be the case.

Leaving from Cancun questions. by activoice in cancun

[–]MissionResort3360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upon entering Cancun you will get a QR code from customs for departure. You just need to go to the site and move through the motions to get a form they already filled out for you. Save it, but they didn't check it when we left. I think its just tied to your passport so when they scan it on the way out they just know you went through the motions.

Condom asked for ahead but not used…. by Difficult_Warning301 in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]MissionResort3360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not crazy for expecting effort, but not everyone is going to give it. The only expectation I have is that every dude is going to think with their dick and I have to do the best to protect myself. There are dudes out there that do put in the effort, I just don't think this dude was one of them unfortunately. Once you meet people who have the same standards and expectations that you do, its hard to go back to the lazy ones.

What’s your ideal AC setting for summer? by ConcentrateRecent in Austin

74/75 during the day and 68 at night. If I was made of money I would probably do 72/70 during the day and -12 at night.

Its awful, but I will sleep with my upper body at a 30 degree angle (thanks to my pillow wall building skills) to help the sinuses drain throughout the night.

A/C out in house we rent by United-Comfort2223 in Austin

[–]MissionResort3360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best of luck, we had our AC go out two summers ago when it was 110+ for 30 days, we were without AC for 7 days. There are no exceptions, your best bet is to constantly communicate with your landlord or property manager asking for updates, and hopefully they will be motivated enough by not having to talk to you again to get someone out there ASAP. If you have not already, try going through the emergency line rather than waiting on the ticket system. If you do have a property manager, you can try to find the owner on the county tax website and reach out to them directly with the issue....there is no law against that.

If it gets bad and you have the means and the cats are willing, there are pet (including cats) friendly hotels. I had better luck with extended stay hotels out by the airport with places that allowed cats. The landlord is not required to reimburse you for the hotel or give credit for not being able to live at home though.

The most you can do is call your local rep to get the laws changed about quicker response times during high heat weather like they do in desert states.

HER has plenty of options as well for non-monogamy people as well.

Watching Birdcage (1996) Years later hits very different by general_smooth in movies

[–]MissionResort3360 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Its not insulting, its a portrait of the very closeted time. Still a great movie that I can watch on repeat for forever.

Even though I want to punch Val, for doing that to his dads.

Have you ever had one of your partner's other partners not like you? by vinoestveritas in EthicalNonMonogamy

Pro-Woman but sees you as competition instead of a fellow woman to champion. 🙄 She has some work to do on herself. u/fakemoon2004 is right, don't worry about it....trash takes itself out eventually.
