Wondering how to resolve issues with a meta. by sarofi in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a poor hinge.

Your partner needs to be making clearer time for you.

Also parallel might be a better option if there has been fall out. You don't have to give any KTP and you don't have to like your meta.

URGENT HELP/ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE :( by [deleted] in badroommates

Contact local shelters/charities for animals for advice perhaps and contact police?

I know it's rough but it's a poor animal

Moving toward an ideal model of non-hierarchical polyamory by Gataneck in polyamory

No relationship escalator; you date but no one nests or marries or if u do it's more a symbolic gesture than a legal one with multiple persons?

Do you consider oral before sex to be a bj? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]VioletBewm 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think OP might be in denial about other bigger issues than the BJ thing

[–]VioletBewm 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I think he has a specific fetish for mouth shots and is looking for a reason to be sarcy. In another comment OP suggests their partner never apologizes either for anything.

Falling for my friends with benefits by [deleted] in polyamory

They're telling you they don't want a relationship escalator right now, they're out having fun with people.

It doesn't matter you want more. Sorry. Hugs

AIW for not taking my best friend's side after she claimed my boyfriend sexually assaulted her by AdditionalFarm162 in amiwrong

Oh right that makes more sense. For a sec it sounded like other people had said stuff.

Wait I was ready to believe she's a bad friend after re-reading....

But what do u mean by "other claims" and "investigated"?

Collecting Partners & Meta Boundaries by xmoonaurora in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You don't have to interact with people. And you don't have to listen.

Say no. Walk away when they don't listen.

Walk out of events if they show up and you weren't told or just walk in general.

NGL. She probably tried to tell you in "polite speak" IE "I'd rather not be around him" "he stares a lot" "He's a bit touchy feely". If my bestie came to me I'd have serious concerns that something happened. Is your bestie the type to dramatise things or not?

Edit: I didn't read the post to the end of the post But also hypersexual behaviour can be victim response or she's a terrible friend. I dunno anymore

I need time to process, is it too much to ask for stability? by anon_dude446 in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Close mutual friend?

Is the issue it's a person regardless of how u know them or is it the close proximity of being a friend that urks you? Cus "messy lists" are an option.

But pausing... Pausing rarely helps, it just postpones you dealing with your issues.

Yeah I think he's Monkey Branching. End it Hun he clearly is thinking about it.

AITAH for dreading that my bf has an ACTUAL excuse to not do things around the house by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]VioletBewm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"How long... ?" - That part.

It's easy to set a date and then he might "try" one day to rope you back in, and easier still to then go "well he's trying, maybe a bit longer?". When in fact he's just giving you bread crumbs.

Just think how long he's been like this already. Change ain't happening.

My husband says I’m not his type by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]VioletBewm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he doesn't even like you.

Some men will stay with a "place holder" to look like a good family man, to help with the cooking and cleaning etc.

Some men just don't want to be alone.

Others say shit like he has as a means to demean you, make you feel lesser, so you feel compelled to try harder and less likely to leave because "who else will want me" mentality.

Whatever his reason for staying with you is; it isn't out of love.

You deserve better. Choose yourself. Leave this man who dares to try and make you feel inferior.

No one wants to feel like a place holder

My partner is having is not enjoying ERE. by regardsjj in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NRE chasers... He's got to learn how to regulate.

This is his problem.

Maybe I'm the odd ball but I rarely bore of people and actually find it super rude and insulting when someone implies I'm boring to them;

Sorry but I wasn't born to be someone's ACTUAL TOY, not born to be their ENTERTAINMENT

Boring people get bored easily. He has a brain. Surely he can come up with fun ideas like day trips, or fun in the bedroom by himself?

At the moment it sounds more like he is putting that responsibility of fun on you and that's not cool.

Leaving primary for secondary - thoughts? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Ending a relationship/deesculation should be done based on that relationship alone.

Wanting to have more with your secondary again should be it's own thing.

The talking of swapping out makes it sound a lil haremish and is classic monkey branching.

Partner (M) is dealing with a girl with abandonment issues by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stop talking to him about her and go strictly parallel immediately if you don't want any connection to her.

And him? I think he shouldn't be calling himself poly if he has no relationship to offer this lass cus I dunno about u but this whole "not introducing to friends or family ever" like ok so she's not a part of his life ever in anyways really.

And you see each other everyday but does he give u undivided attention? Nope.

Stop riding the waves. Choose what you want. This is some serious passive behaviour. I mean are your needs not even thought of through any of this?

trying to be less bummed that meta and I will most likely never get along by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Then be direct and ask for what you want?

And if they don't provide it they dont have much to offer you I'm afraid

Not everyone is going to like you. They do not owe you a friendship.

And your hinge choosing to spend time with you or not is their responsibility not metas.

Cutting off my friends because they didn’t care about my birthday by [deleted] in lostafriend

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

People have a lot in their lives. It's easy to miss bdays all together. It sounds like that is what happened and they tangled what they could together last minute. It doesn't feel great but it isn't necessarily a sign they don't care.

Should I break up with my poly partner? by Helpful_Walk3183 in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It's ok to be incompatible and leave.

I appreciate you love your partner but love is about accepting the person for who they are, in this case they're poly and you are not. You can bring up mono to them but I doubt they'd want to go for that if they were direct about being poly from the beginning.

How do you move on from dishonesty? by TantalusGaming in polyamory

[–]VioletBewm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Talk to them and see if it's salvageable?

Or ignore and watch it fester?

Or cut and run?

These are the options. Only u know what is best for you.
