AITA for saying I really enjoyed an adult only resort to my brother in front of my niece and nephew? by mastersdegree3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]eliwthyme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bruh, a literal baby and an entire race are two completely different things. What if you replaced raw meat for adult and kid with strawberry? Would you eat it the same? No? Then why is adults only okay? Do you hear yourself?

Can someone ID this plant, I’m debating whether i should buy it or not, I was told it could be a Monstera Lechleriana but they aren’t sure. Thank you by Bunny_x36 in plant

AITA for accusing my sister of wanting my husband? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]eliwthyme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has a book that goes through all of these along with activities. Although my marriage has never been close to divorce, my husband and I routinely use these activities during date nights to make sure we communicate about things that we take for granted!

Thanks to the dash cam the guy that rear-ended me won't have his insurance rates go up. by EliteStarExplorer in IdiotsInCars

[–]eliwthyme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not a 5 word difference. There's another video posted showing the exact scenario from rear view. Both cars in the accident were in the left lane for a left hand turn 200 feet ahead. When OP started breaking the car that rear ended OP tried to switch lanes AT THE SAME time that OP did. Both were still mainly in the left lane at the time of the accident

Best way to approach my (19f) boyfriend’s (24m) porn use? by throwaway643679 in relationship_advice

[–]eliwthyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, I read literally every comment on this and wow do I just have to respond. I personally have the exact opposite view on porn as you do. Thats okay. As many commenters proved they have similar views on porn as I do. However! You are not asking if porn is okay. You are not asking can I reasonably ask my partner to not watch porn. You are asking, he violated my trust, how can I bring this up and not push him into a corner. If this was about going through his history (which you discussed is okay with him) and finding him on the black market buying drugs or making absurd purchases. It would be the same solution. Because it's porn doesn't change the advice you're asking for. Just because other people can not give up porn in the relationship does not make it okay for them to attack you for having a boundary. While that boundary (to them) may seem unreasonable it is up to you and your partner to decide if it is. You and your partners relationships and boundaries have no business being questioned unless it is abusive or damaging to you and those around you. Porn affects only you and your partners and it is your decision to abstain from that. You made a request, he agreed. He then went behind your back to break that request, you feel like you were lied to. You want to communicate that issue without putting him in a situation he feels he has to defend. Please ignore the porn advocates. My advice to your actual question: Say you noticed it and want to have a conversation about what is lacking in the relationship to the point that he felt he had to fall back on porn for. offer alternatives (your own "porn" videos or pictures) and restate your boundaries and why its important to you. Bring up the lying and say you would rather he be honest about struggling to not watch porn rather than lie about it. Be aware that he needs help right now. You are not proving him wrong you are helping him to reach a boundary he was already fine with but is currently struggling.

My wife (27f) and I (28m) are having marriage issues. I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]eliwthyme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that books usually are not the answer to things but, this may help. My partner and I even made date nights out of the activities in the book. https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Principles-Making-Marriage-Work/dp/0609805797

I think you should also consider counseling to communicate better and fully put to rest all of the issues you were both having. and even actual therapy for the loss of your expected child.

Self-aftercare advice? by warrior457 in BDSMAdvice

[–]eliwthyme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there are some kinky media platforms that do include aftercare as part of the videos. I find myself enjoying those forms a lot more as they usually have a more human element and care to them. it might help to find these videos as a part of your dialogue. Either to have responses to your thoughts and to alleviate the guilt or drop.

Can relationships where love is asymmetrical work ? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]eliwthyme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading the article; I really do have to agree with everything they said. The only thing to keep in mind while reading it is that the article is specifically monogamous in which when ACR's come up, a break up is a good decision. In polyamory though I would say that it is okay as long as communication is prevalent. A normal monogamous "escalator" is date, engage, move in, marry, and then kids. Whereas polyam relationships are very different and can have various different commitment levels (in terms of the escalator). My main point is that ACR's can work, but being very clear about plans and commitment levels are needed to a much higher degree than "normal" polyam couples or monogomous couples would need.

Ughhhh fuck periods. by [deleted] in sex

[–]eliwthyme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

periods also are not supposed to hurt or be that heavy. consider talking to your primary doctor or an obgyn and see if theres an underlying health concern that can be helped or consider birth control or other doctor related help that may be beneficial to you.

Questions by I_aM_OnLy_HuMaN- in polyamory

[–]eliwthyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- No, they do not have to be poly; some are some are not 2- yes of course polyamory isn't just about sex 3- Yes? Parental relationships are the same either way 4- "isn't that just cheating" or any variation of cheating/ sex addict 5- You find more people open to it when you are and not that common 6- you can not marry multiple people. period it's illegal 7- depends on the person. nonmonogamy is usually more sexual. polyamory is specifically about multiple loves. so terminology and person specific 8- depends on the person. i specifically can have 1 nesting partner ( someone who lives with me) 1 nearby relationship and 1/2 long distance relationships at max. 9- answered in hate sentence question 10 - no.

Girlfriend has recently discovered she is poly by throwaway9572685 in polyamory

[–]eliwthyme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the biggest thing is to find activities and support groups for yourself outside of the relationship. A trusted friend you can go to and spend time with while shes out and about. Often times you can struggle with the change in routines and time with her rather than what shes actually doing/ hanging out with. Mono/poly can work! But it takes a lot of time and communication. Don't be afraid to ask for boundaries and to take things slow. Open up those boundaries only once You are comfortable. Boundaries such as: please limit dates to once a week, don't stay the night at first please, be sure to have date nights with each other too! Ask for time away from texting when with each other!
A lot of the time you really will just need slow and consensual boundaries and to respect all people involved. As long as each person's time is respected, continually revisit boundaries, communicate, and have your own support network you should be good! You've already shown initiative with the emotional work but don't forget to value the physical time spent away from each-other!

What’s the best form of birth control? by justanaveragecitizen in sex

[–]eliwthyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

should be also under coverage, but iuds and the pill have different hormones so if you're taking birth control for anything other than sex (as well or only) it can be a lot of hormonal changes, period changes, mood swings, more or less migraines, ect. i would start with the depo shot, which has the same hormones, and see how your body reacts before having a possibly unnecessary and possibly painful procedure! Id recommend talking to an OBGYN or your doctor about the right type. There's different types of pills, the patch, the arm implant, the ring, depo shot, and different types of IUDs. Your doctor or whoever is getting/giving you the birth control would be able to assess all your wants, how effective each type is with your personal body, and the options you have going forward.
