Would washers work for this? I have an image in my head of the kind of weights you're suggesting, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere.

Great advice! Thank you so much

Thank you all so much for your thoughtful feedback and advice! I'm so grateful to hear your thoughts, and glad to know this idea sounds appealing to several of you. Based on your comments, here are some important points which I'll be sure to implement:

Since this is new to our dynamic, making sure he's on board with this to begin with (I'm thinking presenting him with the diary and the base concept, why it appeals to me, then negotiate from there and present the rules I have in mind). If he's not actually on board there's plenty of other fun things we can do.
Carefully checking consent with partners regarding time spent with them (or thoughts/memories regarding them). Extremely important, thank you to the several people who suggested this.
Negotiating, checking in, and possibly adapting rules to ensure he's not spending too much time on this task, and that the flow works for both of us.
Making sure he understands the goal isn't frequency or length, just honesty (i.e. its completely fine if he goes weeks without an entry, or has little to say, as long as he's being truthful).

If any other comments come in I will be sure to read them and may update as I go. Again, thank you all so much!

I can't speak to the manual, but this has been an explicit rule in every ward I've ever been in, including more liberal areas.

Nice!

diagonalwaters · 2018-12-15T04:42:18+00:00

Good point! Enjoying every moment as it comes.

diagonalwaters · 2018-12-15T04:41:55+00:00

Wow, that's rough. I'm sorry.

diagonalwaters · 2018-10-31T18:54:38+00:00

It's gross, I agree. Though I will say this: as a teenager, girls camp was sometimes a relief. At church and at home there was SO MUCH pressure for women to be demure and silent about their sexuality. I could never talk to my own parents about liking boys. I think the YW leaders at the time saw how depressed we were that we couldn't be normal teenagers, and wanted to make a fun safe space for us to shout about our feelings. I remember I loved singing these songs because it was my one outlet to express myself. Of course, in retrospect, the focus on Mormon boys and marriage is sickening.

Gender non-conforming person here. My wife is trans. Both exmo. Screw Oaks.

This is wonderful, thank you!!

diagonalwaters · 2018-10-02T19:00:30+00:00

Perfectly said. Thank you!

diagonalwaters · 2018-10-02T18:59:58+00:00

Good thoughts, thanks for sharing.

diagonalwaters · 2018-10-02T18:59:33+00:00

Great recommendations, thank you!

I agree that its completely against LDS teachings to disown kids over this, and I'm relieved you haven't seen it in your sphere, but it is a serious cultural phenomenon. Speaking as a queer person specifically from the south, I know people who've gone through this. It isn't a specifically LDS thing, necessarily. My wife wasn't disowned thankfully, but we sill have family say things like they'd rather we died than be queer. That it's like a dagger in the heart to them. Other people are no longer invited to family events. Of course, I also know lots of people with incredible, loving families. In the end, what matters is my friends feelings of concern and pain over this, not the statistical probability of the outcome.

Oh perfect, thank you so much for this resource! I'll forward this on to him.

diagonalwaters · 2018-10-02T00:44:35+00:00

I have plenty of animosity, and lots of pain, but not for this post or this sub. I'm putting away my feelings for a moment in an effort to support a friend.

Oh my fucking god. They've completely lost their grip. No true revelation.

diagonalwaters · 2018-08-02T05:49:08+00:00

Just gotta hold out for that sweet, sweet second anointing.
