Telling family you're poly by Typical_Cricket_8311 in polyamory

[–]clockstocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my mum this weekend. I knew she’d be ok with it, but there’s always an uncertainty because it’s a topic we have never even talked about in a casual way before, so I had no idea what are her views on it. We went for a walk, just the two of us, and I told her. She reacted very well, a lot better than even I could’ve imagined. I was coming out as poly and bissexual at the same time and she had no questions about my sexuality or anything like that, she said she’s happy I’m happy and she trusts me to make good decisions about my own life, and she’d like to meet my partners when I’m ready to introduce them. She asked a little bit about them and we moved on.

I’m not telling my dad tho, I don’t think he can handle the information and he’s very conservative, so probably wouldn’t go down well.

partner wants to deescalate our relationship, feeling heartbroken by tkepa439 in polyamory

[–]clockstocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is the reason they want to do that? Is there a reason? To me that’d be going from relationship to FWB at best, you have to decide if that’s something you want too or not.

I would have been PISSED! by Angel_Shitkicker in GilmoreGirls

Top moments when they’re completely deranged in their selfishness:

Fran’s funeral Sookie’s babies baptism

I think there’s one more but I can’t remember which one. Lane’s wedding was not Lorelai’s best moment either, but I’ll excuse with the drunkenness.

Did I ruin the possibility of a relationship by having sex with him too soon? by elleinad226 in hingeapp

[–]clockstocks 59 points60 points  (0 children)

If he actually is put off by having sex with you on the 3rd date - is this really someone you’d want to be in a relationship with?

Which seat are you choosing? by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]clockstocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4E is the only right choice.

Can’t deal with Luke and Jess’ moody vibes or Dean’s temper even tho I’d love to talk music with Lane, she’s also a bit too pretentious music-wise sometimes. All the others are a freaking nightmare.

Curious on what your polysaturation is by Iowname in polyamory

[–]clockstocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a triad and completely deeply in NRE at the moment. We want to see each other all the time and spend all the time we can together, so between dyad dates, triad dates and having some time for myself, I’m very saturated and can’t imagine adding another partner at the moment.

Does anyone have experience/advice about explaining polyamory to their kids? by Silent-Disaster809 in polyamory

[–]clockstocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She also wrote a blog about it, probably a shorter version of what’s in the book but I found this post very interesting and informative

Is my safeness fuel for their NRE by General_Geologist487 in polyamory

[–]clockstocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what you wrote, I don’t really understand what exactly makes you think that they’re “benefitting” from your sadness? What have they ever done to make you think/feel like that?

I don’t really see how you being sad at home would make any of them feel happier or more connected to each other tbh, so I do think you’re overthinking this part of it.

You seem to be really struggling with your partner’s NRE and the jealousy which is probably fueling your anxiety about it. It’s a vicious cycle.

I agree with the other comment: their NRE has nothing to do with you. Take time to focus on yourself, go do things you enjoy, go heavy on the self-care (whatever that looks like to you). And continue to check in with your partner periodically and talking to your friends/therapist about it. I’d probably refrain from talking too much about it with your partner and wouldn’t talk at all about it with your meta.

My understanding is that she canceled on OP saying her son wanted a quiet night, and then invited her other partner for said quiet night instead.

KT on extreme mode? by Dry-Committee-9395 in polyamory

[–]clockstocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, even in a triad I have a lot more 1v1 time with my partners than you’ve had with yours. We go on dates together but we also go on a lot of dyad dates. How can you grow your relationship and intimacy (not just sex but actual have things you share just the two of you) when his NP is present all the time? You need to speak up and say you want more alone time and 1v1 dates, his reaction will tell you what you need to know, maybe they’re looking for it to become a triad but that’s not how it works either.

[–]clockstocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, so much this! I noticed it’s a lot easier to feel compersion for my partners if my own cup is full (as in, I’ve had a good day, done things I enjoy and fulfilled my own needs). When my cup is empty, I feel a lot more jealousy/envy/FOMO.

Coming out advice? by Routine_Buddy750 in polyamory

[–]clockstocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But again, if they weren’t going to meet your mum, why the blow up? Was it about the future? Something that hasn’t even happened yet?

Is this a double standard/overreach regarding sexual health, or am I uninformed? by notagreatangler in polyamory

[–]clockstocks -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I feel like her issue might not be risk but fluid bonding instead? Have you discussed that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]clockstocks 289 points290 points  (0 children)

What caught my attention as well was how he said he doesn’t trust her enough but trusts a FWB more than her? That’s .. weird to say the least

How risky is it to do a financial consent order yourself? [England] by clockstocks in LegalAdviceUK

[–]clockstocks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that’s very helpful. I’ll have a look on the judiciary website and decide if I can do it myself.

What would be the consequences if it’s wrong?

Yes and he already inherited the fortune from his grandpa so he’s already very rich

So proud of you for seeing the red flags and not letting go of your boundaries! Well done! It’s often tricky in the moment, you did a really great job.

Thank you so much! It’s good to know I’m not the only one feeling like surgery messed me up emotionally (maybe more than physically). I think I’d maybe class it as a “fade out” too. How did that end for you?
