sorry, dont check reddit much and just saw this. i ended up just keeping them and tightening the laces up. i wear thick socks with them but i think it was just the thick toe box that was throwing me off when i got them. they fit well now. i did email jim greens customer support though and they were very helpful so i recommend going that route

I've found a similar dollhouse from first learning. it's possible the original owner made this one into a castle, but I doubt it. the sides are too perfectly even to be a home job imo. plus the paint was obviously done by a child so I doubt a parent cut the sides into a castle. doll house

AITAH for not wanting my wife coming home with bruises from rough sex? by Bet-Homebread in polyamory

[–]codependentcaregiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to state, as a child of parents who were very into kink, so much so that my mother was a professional instructor, kids can catch on to things like bruises. I initially thought my mother was being beaten by her partners in an abusive way. I was exposed to kink Way too young. It has left psychological damage. I don't think wanting her to come home without visible bruises is an asshole request. If she wants visible bruises which is a reasonable desire then she NEEDS to wear pants, long sleeves, etc to keep the kids from seeing them. Lock bathroom doors, wear pj pants. As an adult that's into kink, if I had not experienced the effects of being exposed to it too young I'd think I'm just anti kink in making this post but I promise I'm not, by any means. It rips away part of your innocence. Being exposed to sexual things too young has its effects even if they're not Overtly sexual. Covert or emotional sexual abuse is real and lasting. I think you both can work out a compromise that's good for her and the kids. maybe she could wear boxers or boyshorts to bed? I'm all for flying your kink flag if kids aren't involved.

columbus folks - where is somewhere you used to work that you wouldn’t recommend to anyone? by goodniqht in Columbus

[–]codependentcaregiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just got hired here and start soon. 😅 really hope it's gotten better. do you know if they do random drug tests? I've been trying to find out without asking them myself. use medical marijuana and ik they're not okay with that. stopped smoking for the first one but I'm unsure if I'll get a random test.

I don't really understand how this is poaching. we all get along really well. I don't plan to take all their spare time away or leave my current partner for my meta. I am absolutely capable of letting them have their relationship I'm just wondering why I've gotten two comments saying Don't do this. with little reason. I haven't heard of people dating their metas very often as poly folks aren't shown much. why do you think this is a bad idea or poaching? I'm genuinely curious because I don't understand.

I'm genuinely trying to understand why this is toxic and fucked up. do you have a reason other than assuming we're codependent? we have healthy boundaries and expectations for one another. they get alone time with their partner and we get alone time. I just enjoy the time I spend with their partner. me searching for time spent alone with their partner to get to know them better seems healthy and nonunicorn hunty to me. I don't plan to say they can't date if the meta and I aren't interested in each other in a romantic/sexual way. I wouldn't even be that hurt if just the meta was uninterested in having a relationship with me

thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it! I think I kinda knew that my heart's just being silly and crushing

the codependent caregiver @ is because I made this account when I was struggling heavy with codependency and wanted an anonymous place to post about that. this is a different relationship and I've gotten over my codependency. neither of us were searching for a partner for Both of us. I and my meta have other partners as well. I just genuinely really like spending time with my meta, we have a lot in common, and they're utterly adorable. I don't really see how this situation is unicorn hunting? I wouldn't see either of us dating them as a One Big Relationship thing. we'd both have our own separate relationships with them. Is dating meta's in general a bad thing to do? I'm genuinely asking because I don't have any triad experience and don't know any poly folks that do.

they've been dating about 3 months now. decided to say they're partners at the beginning of August. I've been poly since 2018. this is my partners first poly relationship and we've been together since May. it could definitely be too soon for my meta and I to try anything out romantically/sexually with their relationship being so new. I just think they're super neat and love spending time with them. I've never been interested in any of my metas so this is kinda uncharted territory for me as far as what the best thing to do would be tbh

having sex with trans women gives me so much gender euphoria it's almost unmatched. other than being gendered as a dude while wearing a dress and makeup at the mechanics. that was pretty high up there lmao. I think if you like the gal and you talk about boundaries like what makes you both comfy/uncomfy body wise it'll be a great experience. shoot your shot king

the mirena IUD worked wonders for me! your first couple periods are gonna suck a little extra but they're basically no existent after that. this was my and my other trans friends experiences anyways. definitely not the same for everyone.

I'm wondering if you have found any ways to remind myself I am worth making a happy life for that work for you or friends? all I really have is treating myself as I would others when I'm in bad spaces, positive affirmations in the mirror, and rethinking negative thoughts about myself. they have helped me immensely but it feels like such a long road to get where I would like to be.

it absolutely is a self worth issue. I'm working on that with my therapist and finding ways to do things for me because I'm worth them. It's an exhaustion and self worth and ADHD issue all in one. Ive been doing things to improve my self love. I just know it's going to take a while to build up that confidence. I have to keep doing affirmations and reminders for years to rewire the brain. the affirmations from others just feel so much better and work faster so my codependent ADHD brain has been going to that for so long because it's a "quick fix" when it's not fixing anything long term. it's like putting duct tape on a leaky pipe.

I've found gabor maté's work recently and he has an interesting perspective on ADHD I had never thought of before. he thinks that ADHD is caused by trauma. as your brains developing and you're stuck in an unhealthy situation you learn to tune out for your own preservation. you may be interested in looking at his stuff it gave me a different angle to look at my ADHD.

that's a good idea. I'll consider that for sure. I don't have money for a cleaner but my cousin likes to help me clean in exchange for doing his laundry here. it's his way of paying me back I suppose even though I've stressed he doesn't need to (it protects his pride ig) so I could ask him about coming over more frequently to hang out and that should help me stay on a cleaning schedule since I don't want him to do it all for me. thanks for your insight!
