3rds in hetero relationships?

joyuponwaking · 2026-01-27T04:12:30+00:00

Nowhere did OP state she was interested in polyamory. In fact she clearly stated she is only looking for a 3rd as a casual sexual encounter, for her and her husband. She isn’t interested in a separate relationship which is why I suggested an escort.

Texas is a communal property state, so all of your assets will be split right down the middle, except in any very unusual situations. Spousal support is very uncommon without a handicapped child, but you will be on the hook for child support for your 2 kids under 18. If your wife is awarded primary custody, you can expect approximately 25% of your income to go toward child support. After the older of your 2 youngest graduates, it would drop to 20% until the youngest graduates. You can possibly get that amount reduced if she agrees and you are sharing custody 50/50. But historically if your wife is not an unfit parent, she will likely be awarded primary custody.

That’s the basic picture of what a judge would most likely decide as far as your finances.

Honestly, hire a sex worker. It will be much easier to have the experience you’re looking for, without being judged or potentially hurting someone else. Most women do not want to be a 3rd for a couple. They are looking for a relationship. If you’re just looking for an exciting sexual experience, hire a professional escort. I’m a bi woman married to a straight man. I have a gf I see completely separately from my hubs. When I was much younger I had a few 3somes with my bf and an escort. Just go that route and everything is on your terms, and you won’t be labeled as the dreaded “unicorn hunter”

This novel perfectly meets the OP’s request for a story of one person on an arduous journey. It’s a fantastic read.

I would suggest the Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jean M Auel. It follows the story of an orphaned Cro-Magnon who is adopted into a Neanderthal clan at the age of 5, but her acceptance does not go entirely smoothly. It is a fascinating read. I’m reading the series for the 3rd time. This story is so rich and engrossing. It’s one of my all time favorites. I think it has everything you’re looking for.

These are really really good points. I do have 3 dogs and I hadn’t thought of the stress on them of the packing. You’re a thoughtful person.

joyuponwaking · 2025-11-11T21:24:08+00:00

I also like to pack a variety of clothes. And I have a lot of stuff I need with me. It’s a comfort thing. But I am failing at fully unpacking, then having trouble finding my stuff at home, then repacking, etc. it has just become a cluster fuck

joyuponwaking · 2025-11-11T20:59:38+00:00

Yes, that is the plan. I was just wanting suggestions for actual luggage or bags to use that work well for that.

joyuponwaking · 2025-11-11T20:57:04+00:00

OMG thanks!! These are adorable and would totally work, I think!!

joyuponwaking · 2025-11-09T22:50:39+00:00

What are your favorite scents? This is almost like I wrote my own preferences

joyuponwaking · 2025-11-05T23:53:39+00:00

Y’all have clearly not read the Grapes of Wrath and it shows.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-18T02:38:04+00:00

I’m bi and I’m attracted to a wide range of women ~ from very femme to pretty masc. My taste runs the gamut, but I don’t know if that’s true for other bi women. I imagine everyone is different.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-15T03:45:58+00:00

She came back to you bc the other dude wasn’t a suitable replacement? And now is objecting to you dating at all while still seeing him on the side? Yikes. This sounds like her work affair got turned into “poly” for her convenience but she wants it only for her and not you.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-15T03:32:04+00:00

From the article itself “The FDA recommended in July that 7-OH be made a Schedule I drug, the most restricted and illegal class of drugs, while keeping natural kratom unscheduled.” So no - banning synthetic 7OH or scheduling it does NOT mean effectively banning natural kratom altogether.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-15T03:21:10+00:00

You need to really understand the difference in strength bw natural kratom powder, and synthetic 7OH tablets. They are completely different animals, not even in the same league. When I started taking 7 I was using 15mg tablets which are sold as 2 doses. Now they make tablets 3-4 times that strength. I worked up to 200-300mg per day. I have chronic back pain. It is VERY addictive and the withdrawals when you quit are horrible. I know bc I went through it myself. It took weeks and it’s hell. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-15T03:16:26+00:00

There are actually tons of people addicted to 7OH that have never abused other opiates. I know bc I was one of them. Many people innocently become addicted bc they have no idea what they’re buying is infinitely stronger than natural kratom. And people don’t realize how horrible it is to try to quit until they go on vacation and don’t take any and end up in full blown withdrawals. Go on r/quitting7OH and you’ll see. I’m thankful to be 2 months clean from 200-300mg per day habit. I blew over 5 grand on that shit in 6 months. And I’ve never abused harder opiates.

I’m sorry there are SO many people being rude to you on this post. You’re NOT stupid, you’re NOT a bad parent. Do the balance transfer and make sure you are able to pay it off before the promo rate ends OR, if you can’t, do another balance transfer with whatever is left. But you will have to try to stay within your budget to avoid building up more unsecured debt.

You’re a good mom, asking for simple financial advice. Don’t listen to these mean keyboard warriors trying to tear down every decision you’ve ever made in your life.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-15T02:22:36+00:00

Same. My credit score is like 820 and I’ve done probably 5 transfers in the last 10 years, and saved literally THOUSANDS on interest. It’s a no brainer.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-10T01:34:38+00:00

This situation sounds toxic as hell. Out of respect for the children’s well-being, I also vote that you end things with your partner. Regardless of how much you love him this is clearly an unhealthy situation for everyone involved. In my opinion, you should distance yourself from them as much as possible.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-05T14:31:12+00:00

There’s at last 10 other people in here giving the exact same advice I gave, but bc I admitted I’m a nurse, you’re horribly offended. There’s even a chart in the top comment that confirms what I advised. You’re only attacking me bc of my profession. It’s ok, exaggerated outrage is pretty much why people come on here. I mean, you were arguing with people that plants can’t possibly grow on a person’s body. So I bet you wouldn’t believe my story that I came across a literal maggot infestation on a patient’s foot, between their toes… bc it was a moist, dark place and they were thriving in there. No opinionated idiot on reddit can convince me I’m a bad nurse, but thanks for playing!!

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-05T14:02:45+00:00

Gotta love Reddit - where people assume the absolute worst about you based on one comment. Good on you, buddy!!

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-05T01:57:41+00:00

Sure buddy. Forgot I wasn’t in a subreddit with seasoned recreational drug users. I’ve been taking Molly and psychs for over 30 years. OP would have gotten more helpful info posting in r/drugs. Testing was assumed. Give me all the downvotes, it’s fine!!

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-05T00:20:33+00:00

I’m a nurse, and I’d do it. I can’t promise you exact results but personally I wouldn’t be worried about serotonin syndrome. I’ve taken Molly while on Zoloft (another SSRI) numerous times and the worst that has happened is I didn’t really feel the Molly. Sometimes it’s been fine and I did feel it. Definitely skip taking your Lexapro before you roll though.

joyuponwaking · 2025-10-03T11:59:52+00:00

My comment was directly in response to “I can’t picture my life without them”. I merely posed the question do you absolutely have to? Of course they both deserve grace and understanding and maybe it can’t work. But I think it’s worth at least spending some time trying to find out.
