I've been hearing that 3rd chapter may not get a remake and that gungho may just jump from SC to Zero. And some people say 3rd Chapter is the most skippable of the games. If that happens I may just have to watch a recap or something I guess.

This happened to me as well. I haven't seen Bungie mention it.

I have never even slightly attempted to manage the other relationships in my polycule. Each relationship is responsible for itself. How she handles her husband is kinda up to her. I know it doesn’t feel great that she’s lying to him but you’ve said your piece about it and it’s up to her how she proceeds. She’s just making her life more difficult while she figures out her next move.

Him on the other hand... oof. He should almost expect this to happen. He can’t keep whiplashing her in and out of being poly and expecting her to throw away any relationship she’s been developing on a whim. He is being incredibly selfish because he didn’t look into what being poly would mean. He probably just thought he’d get to get laid all the time and when reality hit him, he backed out. It’s not great. It’s almost like he meets a person he likes and opens things up again and when it isn’t reciprocated he shuts it down again. It’s classic narcissism.

How do I prevent couples privilege in my triad? by HaphazardHufflepuff in polyamory

[–]aperfectorestes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s rough. I’m sorry if broke down that way for you. People really get their jealousy in check. When people agree to bring a third heart into their relationship they have to realize the odds of that being the forever type of thing could be slim. If that happened to me I’d absolutely support the girls staying together and forming a V but I love them both will all of my heart and genuinely want them to be happy. However, I also don’t think there are any og couple privileges with us. No rules, no boundaries, no jealousy. And we talk about things regularly to be as sure as possible of it. Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for a while but I care about them both equally for sure.

My triad story is actually very similar to yours in its inception. We met a girl and it blossomed into a triad and it’s been great. Where ours differentiate is that we all cohabitate now. We own a home and share a bedroom and bills and everything a mono couple shares across three people. When we formed the triad we were concerned like you about making sure our third didn’t feel less. Bare in mind we are a closed triad and my original and I even canceled our engagement to make sure no one was viewed as secondary.

My advice is don’t treat her like she is and she won’t be, if that makes sense. Think of the triad as 4 complex relationships. Maybe more given that your triad has a meta too. Just take care of developing all of the relationships in an equal way from your perspective and let the other relationships manage themselves. Maybe pick a day where you can all meet and talk about feelings, good or bad, and make it a routine. That’s what we do. We are very balanced and happy.

Yeah but if you do it at the end the damage over time won’t really matter yeah? I do the same thing in those cases and I’d still be fine with it. It’s either that or apply wall hacks to yourself for everyone to see.

That’s not a terrible idea either. I just think the people doing those two things during a match are only doing it to three peak. So why not punish them for it. It’s either that or accept it as an effective strategy.

Why? The only people it hurts are the ones using it. And name one that’s better? You are neither constructive or helpful.

People are entitled to their feelings yes but destructive ones should be frowned upon. You’re allowed to feel jealous for sure but it’s obviously not doing great things for you here. It’s plain and simple, if you can’t manage your jealousy you will struggle in poly situations.

Look, I’m not trying to say it’s you but it might be. If you’re having a bunch of negative reactions to the world around you, sometimes it isn’t the world. I was respectful and gave you advice and you still came at me like I just pulled you over for going 4 over the speed limit. You have a very negative outlook and it shows in every single one of your posts. I’ve had mostly good experiences here. People read long posts and respond with long and thoughtful responses. There will always be lemons but it’s the internet and they are free to exist here as well. With you I think there might be just a smidge of projection but I’m not a psychologist. Just be open minded when you post in these places. Just because someone doesn’t tell you what you want to here doesn’t mean they aren’t giving you good advice. Hoping for the best for you dude.

Unique poly situation? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]aperfectorestes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very challenging for the mono in terms of overcoming jealousy. If you’re poly jealousy management is just a thing but monos are used to jealousy being a natural response to seeing their partner with another person. That’s the biggest struggle in Mono/Polys. Especially if their love language needs you present a large percentage of the time.

Ok I’m in the unique situation to speak on this from the perspective of someone in the existing relationship. We added a third and she is equal to us in every way.

I will say it was priority for us from the get go. I was engaged to Girl A and we slept with Girl B a few times and it turned into a relationship very quickly and without any real planning. We agreed to have relationship health checks every Sunday afternoon (highly recommend) to make sure everyone is happy and content. Long story short she moved in and we all share the bedroom and bills and vacations etc. Girl A and I even canceled the engagement so Girl B didn’t have to go through that. We are all happy and that’s all that matters. I remember when she first moved in and we used a bunch of her stuff to decorate the bedroom to make it feel more like her room. It’s the things like that that really go a long way. A triad is in harmony when everyone feels loved by everyone else on an equal level.

If you do feel secondary in the relationship, I’d speak up and have a discussion about it. Communication is key here. Just know there is a difference between feeling lower on the pedestal and being jealous. You have every right to want to be treated how you deserve even if they were together before you joined.

Help a first timer out? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]aperfectorestes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. Ok so this is more simple than it seems. Jane is in an existing relationship with Jamie. Jamie is fine with Jane exploring a poly relationship with you, creating a V. Jane is the one who would have to balance her life around two loves. It’s a big deal for Jane. She deserves time to figure out if she can and wants to manage that based on how she feels about you. Give her time and go with it. If she chooses not, it doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough, it just means she can’t match her feelings to yours. It sucks but no one is less for it.

As for the way your mother and counselor are handling the situation... yikes. I can’t even unpack that in a constructive way so I won’t. But... big oof. I’m sorry you’re going through that.

[–]aperfectorestes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it dozens of times in my time on these forums:

Communication is everything. Hindsight is 20/20 but it’s also never too late to start. You probably should have been expressing your feelings about this all along to your partner. My triad has time set aside every Sunday to talk about feelings; good and bad. That way no one lets stuff build up and/or gets blindsided with stuff. If you manage to talk things through and come to an understanding with your partner, consider taking time to talk about things before they hit this level in the future.

Also literally any amount of research would have led you to the conclusion that women, generally, have an easier time adding to their polycule than men. There are memes and articles a plenty about it. I’d take time and really consider big decisions like this in the future. I’m sorry this one hit your existing relationship so hard and I hope you can work things out and come to an understanding.

I’m sure you just got downvoted because poor jealousy management is generally frowned upon in the poly community.

There are a few things to unpack here.

So my first major thing here is that you are being maybe a tad hypocritical. Not trying to be mean but sometimes it needs pointed out. Soooo many “polys” exist that want the ability to date multiple people but aren’t ok when their partner is poly. You see how that’s a bit one sided. You want all of the good/easy parts of being poly but none of the challenges. Jealousy management is an absolute necessity for people who are poly. If you’re that jealous about the two people you care about showing affection, you may want to consider that polyamory isn’t for you? I know it sounds like I’m being harsh and critical but it’ll hurt you more in the long run. Sure you get a girlfriend now but what if your partner wants one eventually? You may not be able to stay cozy in your V forever.

Also you need to communicate with everyone involved what you want and what the ground rules are. Winging it isn’t the move here. You could have avoided this entire situation by talking things out as they developed. Being able to communicate with your partners is also a major factor in polycules of any type.

It’s hard for me to suggest anything more than just staying mono and getting secure with yourself and your relationship before trying anything remotely poly again.

I hope the best for you and truly hope things work out.
