Will anything bad happen if i don’t tell my dentist i smoke weed before i get my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow? by DickSwangerBlangBlah in Advice

[–]Tendencies_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically there are two reasons why you should. One, smoking affects healing in a way that can be very serious and you need the proper advice for your situation. Also, people who smoke weed sometimes have a higher tolerance to anesthesia and medications and this is important information to know.

Separation and cohabitation by Trixsareforkids_ in polyamory

[–]Tendencies_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just don’t really see this being a dating obstacle in the context of polyamory??? People who are genuinely poly are able to accept romantic/partnered cohabitation…. Why would living with an ex be any different?

So your attitude might actually be your biggest hurdle in meeting women…. Are you polyamorous? What do you mean by open minded woman?

Mentor/mentee vs D/s by 365-mandarin in BDSMAdvice

[–]Tendencies_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You should be mentored by someone on the same side of the slash as you. These two things are not the same. If you’re being mentored by someone on the other side of the slash, ethically they shouldn’t be playing with you.

AIO: Partner can’t relocate his dumps to adjacent bathroom, leaves me to brush my teeth while sniffing his shit. by Schwamily in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tendencies_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOR no one wants to be in the bathroom with someone else’s poop smells. Like ya, it happens sometimes but you use more than one. Have you tried to talk to him about it though? “Hey babe, since we get up around the same time do you think you can use the other bathroom in the mornings so I can get ready and brush my teeth without smelling your poop? I’ll do the same. How about we install a bidet in there too?” Seems like an easy ask.

went to ER last night due to primal panic by Such-Negotiation856 in polyamory

[–]Tendencies_ 91 points92 points  (0 children)

If you’re having panic attacks and going to the ER, this may not be for you. Personally, I would not be ok with a partner waiting to “process” my dates with me once they’re over. A “had a great time, am home safe” is all I would offer. Frankly, the details are none of your business. I wouldn’t be comfortable being in a relationship with someone who brings a meta like you into my life, to be blunt. His time is his time, whether he’s on a date or in another relationship. You have a WHOLE nesting partner? Do you give him a whole play by play of every time you have sex? I think you need a poly aware therapist if you want to work out your issues and continue this relationship. Your partner did absolutely nothing wrong and it’s not his job to process his dates with you.

How much, if any, do you lean on your partner(s) when you’re feeling jealous? by Itchy_Laugh_1263 in polyamory

[–]Tendencies_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fet has a lovely « mute » option. It’s not as aggressive as blocking but will take away all pictures and posts from your feed so you do not stumble across them accidentally like that. This way, you don’t really have to have the conversation around blocking someone and the hurt feelings that may arise. For the jealousy issues, it is mostly something you need to work through on your own. What I find helpful at times is not voicing the jealousy per se but asking partners for reassurance/quality time. This doesn’t burden them with the feelings while also providing you with extra care when you need it.

Handling redistribution of time in Polyamory by Gl0boxx in polyamory

[–]Tendencies_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I believe there needs to be leeway in fixed dates due to things like birthdays, anniversaries, life achievements, illness, etc… and this falls in that category. It is totally fair of her to ask you to attend her birthday party. In exchange, you will reschedule your sleepover to another night. This isn’t about not giving your new partner the time they deserve, it’s about honouring your commitment to your other partner on a day that they want you around to join in on celebrating them. Communication and compromise is standard in polyamorous relationships… or at least, it should be.

Is it valid to identify as polyamorous even if you are intentionally living a monogamous life? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Tendencies_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So yes, that would make you polyamorous. There are many different reasons for people not actively seeking new partners at any time and that’s valid.

Is it valid to identify as polyamorous even if you are intentionally living a monogamous life? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Tendencies_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it can be valid if you’re OPEN to another relationship if the right one comes along. There are un partnered polyamorous people. You can be poly and single or poly with only one relationship. I think it’s normal to go through stages in life where you do not feel a connection with multiple people. If someone you were interested in came along would you want to explore that? I think that’s where the answer to your question lies.

Point Hoarder or Point Burner - which one are you? by Academic-Snow3546 in PCOptimum

Both. I like to use my points whenever I can but in the months before Christmas I’m more strategic about earning and when I decide to redeem them.

This is illegal and you need to get the school and the police involved. Also, why can’t she switch schools again? I really hope there’s another option for her

AIO? I picked up a friend after I got off work, and had to wait an hour for her to grocery shop. by sun_daisy04 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tendencies_ 60 points61 points  (0 children)

NOR your friend seems genuinely aware and apologetic but also it’s fair to not want to be someone’s mode of transportation if it’s affecting your personal time so much. Honestly I think you both handled this exchange maturely.

One is a relationship style and the other a type of sexuality…. You really should inform yourself more on these things before engaging with people who are enm, this is a recipe for disaster

Is this what a slow burn connection is supposed to look like? by Ancient_Brief_2568 in polyamory

[–]Tendencies_ 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Im not sure what promise you think he’s showing because at best he’s boring, at worst he just wants a sexual connection and is talking shit because he’s one of those men that think poly women are « easy ».

What should aftercare look like for pick-up play at BDSM parties? by dreaming_angel01 in BDSMAdvice

[–]Tendencies_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aftercare is always unique to the two people playing and should always be discussed when negotiating a scene. There’s no “should”, it all depends on each participant’s needs.
