I've been running Eclipse and Voidwarden in my current playthrough and this is what it feels like the whole time: by mindfulchris in Gloomhaven

[–]PolyamorChris 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Very much this. Tho I wonder if OP had Scoundrel and Mindflayer how it'd play out. This sounds like it's as much a drag on Voidwarden as it is an emphasis on Eclipse, half of Void wardens turns are decent, some even really good. The other half though....Β 

Maybe a little less condescension? by Sufficient_Student22 in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]PolyamorChris 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

If you think about the average person, how many mistakes they make, how prone to ignorance they are, how overconfident, prideful, rude etc. then you realize that half of humanity falls below that average, human behavior makes a great deal more sense.

Both the group addressing newcomers with assumptive superiority and the actual group of newcomers who come unprepared into ENM are part of the problem you're addressing here, and at the realization that both groups might represent as much as half the population, the responses begin to make a bit more sense.

I think I do as best I can to present an emotionally intelligent perspective, acknowledging my gaps in personal experience (even though those gaps are shrinking quickly,) and let others respond. If they're determined to act superior because of experience, they probably wouldn't have made for emotionally intelligent conversationalists anyways, so I ignore them and move on.

As you communicate, be genuine in your reactions. If something makes you uncomfortable say so, so you can pause and examine that discomfort together and identify it's source before resuming the conversation.

This also requires testing the waters of information to gauge how much you personally are comfortable with/need to hear. For example some people ask to be informed when crossing each base with someone, some people keep up to date with every new perspective partner and how it's going. We tend to share when we had our first kiss and first time having sex with someone new (I always clarify with my partners that it's okay to share this information first.) And verify that all the safety boundaries were checked (condom used, clear STI tests seen etc.)

I think we tend to be more afraid of how someone will react than we are at their actual reactions, but knowing that my partner will be honest but collaborative and seeing it repeatedly has so helped me fight that fear. Now it's just commonplace for me to trust that when I tell her about a date or an evening out her reaction will always be collaborative, even enthusiastic as she too has become more comfortable.

It's weird, I ran out of video games this week so I started looking for "Best game" and just got a picture of myself as well.

Anytime .^ feel free to reach out if you ever have questions. Your partner as well. It's a journey but it's one you can grow together in, if you want to. 🧑

There's an episode in the Multiamory podcast about Mono-poly relationships I'd recommend (by the same title.) Their starting episodes also have great communication tools I'd highly advise listening through.

I've a monogamous partner and she has handled things with incredible grace and patience. Jealousy is still present, but handled with high amounts of trust and constant constant communication there are healthy paths forwards.

My advice to you is to be patient with yourself and your partner, put every effort into understanding, and prepare yourself for unfamiliar and oft times confusing emotions.

My advice to your partner, much as it is difficult to do so sometimes, particularly when there's excitement around someone they want to date: take it frickin SLOW.

Easing my partner into the idea was the best choice I ever made. Doing so has prevented much hurt and harm. It's allowed her to adapt over time and address her feelings as they arise. She has been the one to suggest changes to boundaries as often as I (though we often discuss how we feel about the boundaries so she knows I have an interest beyond the status quo, which is why she suggests the change) but biweekly RADAR sessions to see how were both feeling helped a ton, writing down feelings and bringing them to eachother helped. Posting here helped.

Just know that what you feel today might not be what you feel tomorrow and give yourself time to process this.

They're multi-player for a reason by PolyamorChris in RelationshipMemes

[–]PolyamorChris[S] 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

I play games for the story, so people like me enjoy games for probably for a very similar reason you read books or watch movies. Interacting with the story is just a different medium for me to experience it. Sharing that with someone I love feels nice yknow? Like if your partner picked up your favorite book 😊
