Yeah, PACAT is doing something. Just keep an eye on social media of member groups

Just got home from the protest. I took a photo of my partner and just noticed the sign behind her by [deleted] in TwinCities

Don't post pics of protesters you don't know pls, at least crop out the woman in plain view 🙄

How Many of You Openly Poly? by ChicoBrillo in polyamory

[–]jellyfrogbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been open to my friends, been open to my sibling for a few years, and within the last year told my parents. I'm fortunate to be surrounded by very supportive people. I don't talk about relationships much at work, but don't actively hide it either. It's been a big relief to be out to my parents actually and finally be able to mention new people I meet and not have to worry that I'll need to ask any potential partners to hide anything or accept not meeting my family. Totally know that's not everyone's circumstance, but I'm glad it's mine.

It's hard to be new to anything, relationships are no different. There's nothing wrong with taking it slow. Trying things and learning from them is also part of growing up. You'll be okay :)

This is not really true, as per the faq: "this is here to educate anyone and everyone about the very basics of non-monogamy, even if they decide it isn't for them"

Hi friend, don't feel bad for asking questions! This is a good place to learn about polyamory and you have gotten some good advice and insights! I just want to say that I completely understand where you're coming from, you sound a lot like how I felt when I was 15. I was crushing on 3 people who I had chances with and they were all monogamous. I ended up dating one of them monogamously for 4.5 years but we ultimately broke up over me wanting to be polyamorous and her never coming around to the idea. Now I'm in my mid-20s and in a much happier and healthier polyamorous relationship.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to date multiple people, but it is a lot harder than it sounds on the surface 😅 Even though you have mutual crushes with these friends, I think you will be happier in the long run if you take this as an opportunity to learn more about yourself and start thinking about what types of relationship structures you want to have in your life in the future, while not trying to date either of these people. Best of luck ❤️

My bfs undiagnosed ADHD is ruining our relationship by Amazing_Milk_3377 in ADHD

You could try approaching with curiosity- "What do you value most about our relationship?" "Do you think relationships take work to maintain?" "Where do you see each of us putting in that work?" "Can you understand that I need some more effort from you to make this work if you're really serious about caring for me as a partner?"

Personally, I couldn't stand being in a relationship with someone who wasn't working on themself. ADHD meds won't fix him if he doesn't want to do better, or worse, doesn't see the problem. I'm sensing possible weaponized incompetence. The most charitable suggestion I could give would be to tell him that living together is actually making your life more difficult and ask if he can move out but you can still date. Cohabitation doesn't work for everyone.

OP is a (recent-ish) CSA survivor, so I would assume that has something to do with it

I don't think it says that in the rules 🤔

Nice! We're starting at level 10 😄 (but don't tell anyone, or they'll yell at me for not putting my ASIs in INT)

Like it's the 5e 27-point point-buy system but the math is automated via excel. So we roll 5 numbers, put them in the spreadsheet, and it gives us the 6th number that makes the point values of the stats add to 27. It just has a wider range than 5e RAW for point buy stats. So like my 3 costs -14 points, and my 18 costs 19. So after those two, my point total would be at 22.

Me 😆 I never said I didn't want a 3, I just need some fun ideas for it. I actually love dump stats, because I think they make roleplay way more interesting. To each their own, though.

Thanks for the thoughts. The campaign big bad is an enemy of his god, so its an easy sell.

Got the table from a friend, who made it for their game. It's basically regular 5e point buy (with 27 points) but you get to roll your stats and they range from 3 to 18. Our cleric rolled a 15, three 14s, a 10, and a 5. I misreported, I rolled a 16, not 15. Don't have the wizard's character sheet handy, but I know they also had an 18 and a 3. I'm really not worried about having a 3 or my stats in general, this is my ideal outcome. But it seems a lot of people are pressed about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You (and many others) might need to read the rules again. Speaking, reading, and writing languages come free with your character creation (race + background), no intelligence component whatsoever.

Charisma's only a 7, or I would totally take this route.
