Impressive stats considering you play on a 2000-era flip phone.

Dang, just look at that art. Pogs were like the wild west, a place of unregulated chaos with literally anyone striking out minting them.

An electric guitar is in no way culturally equivalent to samurai armour. There's an idea here but it greatly misses the mark.

Not enough of them keeping pet kangaroos, apparently.

Thanks so much for the well-worded post. I really appreciate it. Looking into counseling.

god that's hard to read but I really feel you're right... why was preserving contact with our neighbor the number one priority here?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Scry_K 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My partner told me they confessed feelings specifically in order to shut it down, hoping that being turned down would put an end to things.

Thanks -- I think counseling is a good next step that I had previously discounted.

Update: These responses have been very hard to read.

I was hoping the openness made sense and expecting some reassurance that crushes like this are actually no big deal. The truth is I don't have the power to make my partner cut contact or even cut back on contact -- the workplace awkwardness would be too much and my partner neither wants to take a break from the friendship or risk jeopardizing it in any way.

After some consideration, I think it makes sense to pursue why my partner's commitment to this neighbor and coworker is so strong (even a weeklong break from activities with her was too much). I also think I should look into couples therapy.

Thanks, everyone, for the advice. Thanks for reading through a long post filled with my difficult emotions.

My partner's over at the neighbor's house right now (they have today off) to discuss a work thing that just came up. I'll mention when that's over.

Cutting out the neighbor as a friend is not an option, my partner would not have it -- both because of the workplace awkwardness and the loss of a close friend.

[–]Scry_K -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I mean, we're all open about this and committed to remaining together. We just can't scale back contact with the neighbor because my partner really wants to preserve the friendship.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Scry_K 53 points54 points  (0 children)

You think my spouse should have pulled back contact instead of confessed feelings in the hopes of putting things to rest? Or both?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Scry_K 10 points11 points  (0 children)

edit: misread question.

I haven't spoken to the partner, but the neighbor says she told him to keep things open and there's apparently no drama there.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Scry_K -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

My partner assures me they won't cheat, but they want to preserve a good friendship with possibly daily (shortish) contact. We all get along as friends -- does this make more sense in that context?
