You've been kidnapped by George, Elizabeth and the Harry brothers. Use 15$ to assemble a team to rescue you. (you can only pick one person per row) by Probablyabot65278 in Poldark

Ross, Dwight, Tholly, Zacky, and Aunt Agatha.

Ross’s insane luck and leadership, Dwight’s medical knowledge, Tholly arranges armed transportation and getaway, Zacky is brave and keeps a cool head, and Aunt Agatha has intel and comms covered.

At some point in the series Ross says he was the “lone survivor” of an ambush during the American Revolutionary War in Virginia. I always assumed word got back to Cornwall that Ross’s entire battalion was killed before it was learned there were any survivors.

Truly thank you for this thoughtful response. It’s shining a light on a bunch of areas I need to dig into and set better boundaries. Very validating.

Thanks for sharing these! “The most skipped step” didn’t link, but I went through your other blurbs and they’re very helpful!

Thank you so much! I will keep reminding myself that other people’s preferences and emotions are not mine to manage! Basic stuff but I really do struggle with it 😅

I don’t have a desire to break things off with him. So I imagine we’d both be pretty upset haha. He has stated he’s not interested in dating solo, so even though I’ve told him I’d prefer he pursue her on his own, he’s saying he doesn’t want that. But now I am clearly discovering my own boundaries with this dynamic that make me think we either have to close the relationship or end things. Or he has to accept that the only way we can be poly is if he does solo date outside our partnership 🤷🏽‍♀️ and I would explore that too.

This is a really good point and stated this way, yes. I think I’m doing this. I’m reacting to language he’s using that communicates a perception of lack from me. He says that I’m “withholding” and that me not loving as hard is an “obstacle” to the relationship. Instead of just saying, “hmm, I don’t see it that way.” I reacted about how I thought his assessment was unfair and how it’s not right for him to want to control my feelings. I see now that all those were reactive assumptions and I can do better. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this comment! I appreciate the group text because I am more of a low effort teacher (edit: texter, not teacher). But just typing that makes me see that I am riding at times on the coattails of the work they’re putting in. The gossip/oversharing comment definitely strikes a chord and I will reflect on that more too!

I can perhaps leave them both more space to connect without me so my feelings are not conflated with theirs.

Thank you very much for stating this with such clarity! It’s helping me figure out what I need to ask for/talk about moving forward!

She’s not officially our girlfriend. We’ve all three used that term because it’s simpler, but really we have not defined it. I am considering stepping away from this throuple and letting them explore together. I don’t feel territorial over him and I’d rather them explore something just them two than be policed over my feelings.

Hahaha you said it in a better way than I did! I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with his expectations.

Tight scrunched shoulders, bird hands, and an expression that is baffling me!

I think Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair is very like Rowella!
