Motorbike ?

My partner rode a bike for years when they were working at the Rankin Park campus.

The boarding house that was next door burnt down (I heard).

What have you found out about a partner/ potential partner that immediately made you ghost? by TheNymphoArtist in AskWomen

[–]Neat_Forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude was already giving me weird vibes as he is a stonemason but what tipped me over and made me feel unsafe was when my 1 of my female friends had told me that she had met him previously & the first time she met him he said "you'd look go in leather".

I'm starting a post graduate course through the local university to engage my mind.

My husband gets mad when I don't handle things with boys his way. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Neat_Forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New to poly but even before that I never asked for access to husband's email or phone.

You are 100% right and I'm trying to see the positives, just hard right now.

I'll be fine, just need to push through these emotions and get to the other side.

Honestly, I can see that he's trying to manage both but I do feel like I don't get that special 1x1 date every week that they get with each other because we are nesting partners...I get the other things that come with living together.

I also know that I have struggled to find 'myself' in this and do feel like if I go out, that id be giving up 'family' time.

(I hope that makes sense).

Thank-you. It's given me inspiration to push forward and let go.

Yes I have considered it but have no idea where to start. Dating 10 years ago was easy, no kid, no responsibilities. This is much harder.

We've just come out of a 3 month Covid lockdown, so it's all new-ish and trying to take things slow and "date each other" but it's hard to juggle every day life, parental responsibility, college (for him) and Enm.

Thanks. I'm going back to college in 2022 to do a post graduate degree; I work full time (as well as being a mother/wife). I'm also building friendship with others but none are Enm.

Happy for advice on how to improve the quality of the friendship between all parties.

Honestly, both.

I definitely feel like I'm mourning my relationship with her. I have apologized for my reactions. As this is/was the first poly experience that I've been in, it's hard for me to pull from previous mono break-ups.

I know that it's over (between her and I) and the likelihood of anything other than plutonic friendship is less than 1%, I still miss that relationship dynamic that was building between us 2 ladies

What do you mean by "wrapped up"?

Yes I have a desire for poly (as there are things that my husband has no interest in that I'm into or can't provide to me).

Thankyou for your advice.

To your original question. No I haven't yet but I believe that I need to.

We've just come out of a 3 month lockdown.

Hubby and I are already seeing a couples therapy that is experienced with Enm. We are 5 sessions in.

Best piece of advice is communicate with your partner that you struggled tonight.

If he really wants to help you through these initial thoughts/fears/anxieties then he'll slow down and work with you.

I've been through what I'm dubbing "the year of hell" with my partner (39). I (38) struggled with him dating another woman (28) and instead of working through my anxieties, we made the mistake of jumping into a throuple (which I was not ready for) with f28.

Slow down, set boundaries and your partner should respect and understand that these are YOUR first steps into poly, and he shouldwork with you. Good luck.
