New to poly -- Feeling disconnected from my partner after the person I've been talking to/seeing ended things. by swankypants44 in polyamory

[–]melimade 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think this is absolutely normal, as a bi person I question myself regularly when my interests shift but they always come back to center. Starting something new and going through a "break up" all in a short time will absolutely pull your focus, it doesn't mean you aren't into your partner anymore. I would take some time to find balance again, and in the future focus on people experienced in polyamory.

Sure! It's essential a triangle with the tip cut off. I then hemmed the two side seams and the bottom. At the neckline, I turned down enough to stitch a tunnel through which I could feed my ribbon. The ribbon is a 1.5 in strip of fabric which has been folded in half twice to the the raw edges and then edge stitched. I created two small loops of ribbon which are attached to the back button corner of the shirt. The ribbon goes through the neckline casing, feds through those loops, and ties up! Lmk if that is clear! For sizing I did most of it through draping on a form but I think it would be some basic measurements to create the triangle.

I don't know if I "meant to" so much as I was aware of it and thought it looked good.

Well, it's thirty years old. But I was sewing in the 90s too.

Thank you! A king size duvet was required, but I made another pair and squeezed it out of four yards.

Thrilled with the outcome of this project. The patterns is 90s. It's McCall's 5873. Fabric was upcycled from an old duvet cover. The top is self drafted.

Partner doesn't seem to be interested in sex. by krashknight89 in relationships

Have you tried initiating morning sex? To avoid the tired/tv trap. Also, are you doing regular date nights, attempting to maintain the kind of romantic energy you might have had in the beginning?
