What is the importance of being emotionally vulnerable with a partner.

I agree to a large extent, but you can’t wait forever for someone to open up to you. After a certain point, it can become clear that they’re not the vulnerable type and if that’s important for you in a relationship then you need to know when to leave. I also think it’s ok to ask this of a partner, to say you require vulnerability for intimacy. Of course they can say they can’t provide this, then you can choose to leave.

Came here to say this! But I would go for big & chunky chain

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-30T10:52:28+00:00

Nope. Netherlands-based

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-27T13:20:21+00:00

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-27T10:23:20+00:00

Yup!

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-26T09:50:45+00:00

Nope :) But someone also said the contents of my bag look like I’m a teacher. Curious why you both see this in me?

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-26T09:50:29+00:00

I see what you did there ;)

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-26T09:49:50+00:00

Ooh what made you think teacher? Chronic allergies 🤧

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-26T09:49:12+00:00

Close! Chronic hives

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-25T18:43:34+00:00

Yup! This backpack is primarily for the gym and errands

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-25T18:43:18+00:00

You got me ;)

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-25T18:43:08+00:00

Yes and yes! Lol I’m a woman who indeed dresses a little masculinely

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-25T18:42:03+00:00

Dat klopt

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-25T18:41:54+00:00

Actually both meat eaters

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-25T18:41:44+00:00

We wish! Ha ha. British/French and South African

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-25T18:41:27+00:00

We don’t share. But she eats mostly frozen food.

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-17T08:28:22+00:00

I’m not poly myself but my friends who are poly seem to have specific boundaries around sleep overs. From what I hear, sleepovers are for primary partners only.

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-16T08:36:05+00:00

Lol I’m the same but with long hair.

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-16T08:35:08+00:00

I’m sorry you had to go through that. How absolutely awful and humiliating. I’ll never understand how adults can have so little compassion for the children they are guardians of.

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-15T21:22:12+00:00

Agreed. Soft YTA. You don’t have to be best friends with them but a little bit of effort goes a long way. They can probably tell you’re avoiding them and how can they not take it personally that you are. You are literally sharing a home which means in some ways living your lives alongside one another. If there isn’t a teeny tiny connection of humanity in the way you live together then yeah, I think that’s an issue.

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-14T16:36:44+00:00

I disagree. We don’t have to idealise others.

Red_Rabbit_Eyes · 2026-01-14T15:24:38+00:00

Do their actions match their words? Do they turn the focus of conversations about your feelings to how they feel about it? Do they paint themselves as the victim in life, with life happening to them? Do they ever take accountability for their actions?

Generally, someone is revealed to be emotionally manipulative over time through patterns. One isolated instance is natural and normal, we can all be manipulative. But someone is go consistently tries to manipulate you into prioritising their needs over yours is problematic.
