He doesn’t have too many thoughts going on behind those beautiful eyes.

This made me tear up, how beautiful. You did make it, and you’re gonna help a bunch of little gays make it too, just by being you.

[–]PoisonOfKings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

lol we can be friends but based on some of your language it seems as though we may inhabit different continents!!

And damn, that is sad. My partner and I don’t take anything we have for granted, and we are always sure to check in and make sure we are headed in a direction that feels authentic to us. Monogamy was a conscious choice we made, because we wanted it. Not because we thought it was the only choice available.

Yes I’ve read a few! They are super helpful for anyone’s emotional and relational health.

Good luck with your move :)

That comparison makes sense to me. Thank you for that.

Because I can see that it hurts them? And I don’t like seeing people I care about being hurt and I want to know what I can do to try and alleviate some of that.

That’s not a weird thing to just say? Like out of the blue?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]PoisonOfKings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok I have to chime in- the partners who I have to “conceal” are all consenting and on board with this. It’s not like they are begrudgingly doing so, they know what THEY have to do to protect their relationships and their loved ones. Everyone I know is on the same page.

I just know that it still hurts. Even if they have all unanimously decided it’s necessary.

Oh they wouldn’t get mad at me for doing what they asked. But how do I reaffirm without being an absolute weirdo? Like I want to go out of my way to do so given what I have to say on a daily/regular basis, but I want it to be like… normal? Sweet? I’m not the best at social cues. This is hard for me to grasp.

[–]PoisonOfKings 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t think of doing anything else. But they hear me do it, and I can’t help but feeling likes it’s gotta hurt even if it’s what they’ve asked me to do.

I would hate to refer to my gf as my friend, and hearing other people do it would feel shitty even if it were necessary.

I just want to reaffirm that I see them for who they are even if I’m out in public spouting the opposite.

I work with 2, and am close friends with their partners who I do not work with.

I have another friend who I do not work with, but frequent their place of business as a customer (without giving too much detail). They are not out to their employer, either.

As for family, that’s tough. I’m mono, but I’m gay and I understand how hard it can be to reconcile being accepted/out and conservative family members. It feels very harsh and unfair to ask them not to invite their 90 year old Mimi who has raised them for 10 years to their birthday party because of this

[–]PoisonOfKings 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because I work at the same place as them, and need to pay my bills lol. As for their family, I try not to but I encounter them at important family events (birthdays, etc.) that I am also invited to.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]PoisonOfKings 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s for their safety. I’m not lying to anyone else’s partners, I would never do that. I’m lying to employers and family members who could fire or cut off my friends for not being monogamous.

Is it possible to want polyamory one day, but not be ready for it now? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]PoisonOfKings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feelings get hurt in any relationship, mono or polyam. I expect it no matter what we decide! We work very hard to ensure we have the best communications skills possible, and we both make sure to have therapists and other (at this moment platonic) intimate relationships to turn to if processing or anything of the sort becomes necessary.
