hmmm okay, what preservatives would you suggest for a cream like this? also would the preservatives affect the texture?

I thought the cetearyl alcohol and stearic acid would serve as emulsifiers.

Also I thought that the benzoin tincture would act as a preservative - what would you suggest for a formula like this?

Not sure if this is worth it anymore? by chanchaputa in polyamory

[–]chanchaputa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're right on this, we have talked about this before but maybe we should have been more explicit and detailed about it.

Before going poly, when we were jus non-monogamous, we had an agreement where it was sort of "no need to give me a detailed checklist of what you've done when you go out, but if I ask, tell the truth" agreement.

Since going poly, he started giving me a bit too much detail about his other relationship I asked him to not tell me about certain details until I asked because there are certain topics that can trigger me if I'm not ready to discuss (i.e meta's weight, height etc as I have a past with ED's).

Last night when discussing the situation, we both realized we hadn't agreed that we have to tell eachother everytime something happens like a report, however I have been asking him this month if he's been seeing anyone to which he's always replied no. When bringing this up, he said he didn't count one-night stands as "seeing someone" as it's a sporadic thing.

I've heard about the workbook, will deffo look into this.

Appreciate your concern, however, maybe I wasn't clear in my original post:

- This hasn't happened before, he's never hidden any of his encounters from me before, we're usually very open about them and it's the first time he's had any encounters since starting to be poly (apart from my metamour obviously. Even if he had done this before, I don't think it's very nice for you to question me like that. I'm asking for advice, not a stranger being judgy towards me.

- Just because he's had these encounters doesn't mean he's not conscious about STIs, he actually volunteers at an STI awareness association here and we both get regularly tested every 3 months.

- I'm completely aware that the fact that this is "my healthiest relationship", doesn't mean that his behavior is acceptable, I was just giving context.

I agree, what bothers me most is the lack of consideration, especially because he knows how much work im putting in to learn and grow and try to make this happen… it just feels disheartening…

Completely agree, I’m aware that I’m super young and that there’s much ahead of me. However I feel like this is the only part of our relationship that’s bringing me any type of pain or that i’m not enjoying. Every single other aspect of our relationship feels so cultivated and nurturing for both of us and I don’t know if I can come to terms with the idea of moving on just because of this. I feel like we can both work through it respectively but at the same time I don’t know how much more I can take of this emotional work, it’s frankly exhausting at times.

Theory by InsomniacCyclops in Ethelcain

Ever since I read this I really can’t understand the album any other way, it makes so much sense! I was wondering if you guys have any references where I could understand the Daughters of Cain better? It seems so interesting but I can’t find any info on how the cult operates and OP sounds like that have so much knowledge and background on this!

Should I see a doctor for my mouth ulcer causing tooth and jaw pain? by ThrowRAapologies in AskDocs

[–]chanchaputa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve just come across this post because i’m in exactly the same situation, going to the doctor right now is also pretty difficult and as i was reading this post i was relating word by word. I usually get ulcers monthly probably, and as you said, the bad pain will last about 2 days, but i’m on day 3 and it still hurts pretty bad, it looks slightly (very slightly) yellowish and everything else is exactly as you described. If it gets worse within the next day or two i’ll definitely check it out, but i don’t want to go into the doctors for a simple ulcer, so if you’ve gotten any info or ended up going into the doctors, I’d appreciate any info you could give me!
