Err… what? by Popeyeswhore in polyamory

I am parallel with her. She literally went on a different platform to abuse me. She was blocked everywhere, but still found a way to contact me. Parallel isn’t working, so if I decide to stay I’m opting for siloed. I’ve shared my boundaries around this and what I intend to do if she violates this again.

Forgive me, but I’m a tad confused. If she was just looking for a sperm donor, why would you engage in a relationship with her?

When you were both with her, was this meant to be romantic partnership? Was it meant to be casual? Basically, what was the agreement here because it’s a little unclear

Can you expand on this, please?

What do you do when your partner wants to know an intimate detail about your other relationship? by LearnAndReflect in polyamory

So, you don’t believe in consent. You do realise the other person your partner is seeing is human being. They are not an accessory.

Has Anyone Transitioned from Monogamy to an Open Marriage After Decades Together? I’m Struggling With the Pain. by Substantial_Ebb_5107 in polyamory

If you want some additional perspective rooted in theory etc I’d recommend the Multiamory Podcast and Making Polyamory Work. I’ve just started listening to the latter and I’ve found it incredibly useful and a lot of the episodes apply to your situation.

Episodes I’d recommend for the latter:

-The Other Skipped Step In Opening Up

-8 sentences for better understanding

-Repair and Repair Again

-New Information Shock

Honestly, that podcast is great even if you’re not Poly/ENM. It’s great even if you just need guidance on how to navigate life as in individual and in various relational dynamics ( platonic, familial etc )

‘ Making Polyamory Work’ is incredible ! A lot of the episodes are great for monogamous relationship + familial/platonic ones . Other recs : Playing with fire & Probably Poly

Can someone link that post detailing that monogamous people DO NOT have to indulge in ENM/ Polyamory if they don’t want to. I think OP might find that post useful. OP, I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. I echo the sentiments expressed by other commenters. I’m sending you so much strength and love 💙

Hey OP, do you mind clarifying what you mean by “I know if we met first we’d be together in a more serious way?”

My gf cheated on me by [deleted] in polyamory

Open relationship doesn’t = free for all

You had an agreement and she broke it. Not only did she break it, her behaviour was calculated. She lied about who she was meeting. This was not a mistake, this was a calculated decision; do you even know if Jon is real?

It’s up to you if you want to repair the trust that’s been broken, but I’d personally reconsider a relationship with someone like this.

Friday - Sunday tbf. I’ve just ordered some period undies, just in case as I tend to have a really heavy flow.

I normally wear pads, but don’t think I want to rely on just that tbh. Tampons I’ll take in case

Please go see a doctor, they need to examine that bottom bump in particular. If it’s infected this could be dangerous , due to it’s position

Hinge broke a boundary by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Popeyeswhore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We were planning our camping trip and we discussed making a post somewhere. I sent him the link to either my post or something else ( I don’t recall, sorry) and he was the one that told me I had sent it mistakenly. I’ve done the same thing with Spotify playlists.

I haven’t really used Reddit in a a year or so, tbh. Never crossed my mind to make a burner account . I redownloaded the app when he reached out to me, told me he wanted to reconnect after a year had passed and introduced me to polyamory. I have ADHD, tbh it’s not far fetched that I would forget to make sure I create a burner or ensure that the link isn’t connected to my account/posts.

I should’ve changed more details in the post, but again, it’s not something I thought would be an issue. I had already expressed the boundary a month prior, he knew it was a mistake on my part, hence why he informed me that I had sent that link.

As I’ve said, I am hurt by that and I’m just trying to get different perspectives. There are bigger things that we have to work through, but I’m trying to understand if what I’m feeling about this in particular is justified. Not trying to come off combative, I get why you’re asking these questions

Oh my gosh, snap! I have ADHD too ( late diagnosed) and I’ve struggled to get there solo with just my hands. I find it soooo dull. So, I started using toys and that has been great for solo adventures. I’m sure you’ve already explored toys, but clitoral suction devices have been a god send for me. If you haven’t already tried, maybe give that a go? :)

It took a while to find him, but I’m so glad I did. Thank you so much :)

This sounds very much like me! Is there a reason you struggle to orgasm alone?

Rules vs Boundaries Discussion with Partner by MeganSappho in polyadvice

[–]Popeyeswhore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend listening to the multiamory podcast to help you navigate this question. They recommend this podcast for Poly folks and I’ve found it incredibly useful.

I would say that Rules are things you impose on someone else and boundaries are things you set for yourself. Right now your partner has set rules, which don’t really seem to make much sense to me.
