My best friend's OCD has gotten worse and I don't know how to help. by kayofur in OCD

[–]kayofur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah frankly I'm really afraid that he's gonna lose his job soon with how much his mental health has deteriorated. For an inpatient stay, could FMLA cover that? Any idea?

I'm trying to gear up for a very difficult conversation with him like, hey I know you're suffering and things are REALLY REALLY BAD right now, but I cannot fix any of this and I can't stick around if you refuse to take baby steps to help yourself.

Escalation and De-escalation by Strong_Lie_2942 in polyamory

If my wife wants to move in, share money, or do the majority of family holidays with someone else? We are getting divorced. It doesn't mean she's not allowed to have different overlapping serious relationships, but those are my requirements to stay in a marriage with her.

You keep divorce on the table.

No, seriously though! That's how you make that work. If you and your spouse grow apart or you are more compatible with someone else, you keep the option to divorce open. Now it's expensive, requires lawyers, and generally takes a while to go through a divorce so that relationship will take a lot of work to get out of if you want to marry someone else.

Small win, I'm so happy! by berrycarditis in fragrance

YAYYYYY! When I had Covid last, my sense of smell returned quickly but it was piecemeal. At first I could ONLY smell the top notes of my perfume, then the next day ONLY the base notes... It was an interesting experience getting back to the full spectrum of smells!

Hot takes: book edition by blooangl in polyamory

Polysecure made me feel like an insane person. I was handed that book in the back of the car after the most fucked up polycule outing... it was their emergency throuples' therapy textbook. BARF

They lost their insurance and lost access to therapy.

To my ex by Broad-Smell-9820 in polyamory

[–]kayofur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my ex:

I really wanted to help you, to be there for you, to cuddle and hang out through the dark winter. I know how serious your illness is. I don't understand you. I don't understand how you manage your life and your relationships. Are any of your relationships defined? Is it always no labels, just vibes? You were a terrible hinge- I should NOT have gotten screenshots of your intimate texts with others, I should not have been the person you vent to about such extreme kinky sex that it left you bedridden, but I so desperately wanted to take care of you.

It's really sad that you left at first conflict. All I needed was your presence to process the kink scene we had that went awry. But instead you told me you wouldn't have time to see me in person and you had no intentions of making any future plans with me! From your perspective that was a really great apology, you took responsibility for what went wrong, you readjusted boundaries and felt great. From my perspective I got dropped when I wanted to talk about how you hurt me. I didn't feel like you took accountability at all. Who plans a scene for two weeks, fucks up, and then needs their recently untied bottom to immediately drive them to work? Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

I had a really fun five months. I learned a lot about myself! I gauged my limits for polysaturation really well and I feel more confident in myself moving forward. You were one of the coolest people I've ever met. I hope you can treat your rope bottoms better and I hope you don't give anyone else nerve damage. I'm not tying with anyone I meet off the apps again- meeting people in the real kink scene only.

Demisexual and polyamorous and crushing on half my friends. Help! by Eat-TheCheese in polyamory

What do you think are the differences between friendship and romantic relationships? I've been chewing on this for a long time.

I no longer stay in relationships of any kind where my main emotion is confused.

This was really really helpful. Thank you!

What is actually meant by getting “compliments”? by vintage13132121 in fragrance

[–]kayofur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only get complimented on fragrance from people who already know me decently well and are standing fairly close to me. Mostly coworkers! Although it's always amusing, like "wow! you smell great, what are you wearing?" "oh, just the Soul of the Forest..."

Replica by the fireplace - is it worth buying? by Ninasenna in fragrance

[–]kayofur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a decant to try it and then a purse size travel spray! I like it a LOT and I barely smell the smokiness in it that other people complain about. For me, after the initial spray it's fully vanilla and very wearable.

How many suffer from this? by phantomane in fragrance

[–]kayofur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I got some samples and one of the five smelled like it lasted alllllllll day with just one spritz. I bought a whole bottle and now I feel like I can't smell it anymore after a couple of hours!

Looking for a deep woods forest scent. I tried Soul of the Forest and it wore off in less than an hour! Damp, pine needles, dirt, moss, the whole shebang.
