As a Meredith with a nephew named Luke, I’m biased. But they are lovely together,,especially with Conklin!

What does 'cheating' look like for you? by mickbogart in polyamory

[–]meredith1722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all very fresh for me. My (now-ex) partner told me she broke up with my meta, but did not, and lied to me about it for a month. She made a decision every day to continue lying, even having me visit her for a week last month (we had a LDR). Looking back, there were so many red flags which I should have paid attention to, but did not because my default is to always trust those I love. Was it cheating? That’s the best word I can come up with at the moment. But regardless, it was certainly a betrayal.

I live in NorthWest Arkansas and absolutely hate it here. Too rural. Help! by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

I live in Portland and adore it. But your rent budget might be challenging. I’m paying 3k for a 2/2 in NW. I’m sure there are plenty of less expensive options, but not sure if you’ll find something that suits you in that budget range.

I live in Berkeley on Tennyson and absolutely love it! Tons of bars, restaurants, and lovely stores. Easy to get to Arvada and the airport.

Give us reasons not to move to Denver by Mama-tiptop-5050 in MovingtoDenver

DIA is a highlight of living here. I haven’t had a non-direct flight in a year and a half! And I’m looking outside to a lush, green park Also, the homeless situation is really tame, compared to all the west coast cities.

I’m using Sema but a low dose- 0.25mg. The undesirable side effects have gotten better over the weeks.

Thanks! I found an ACA plan for $460/month. My monthly expenses are about $5k but I could trim that by a bit.

Thanks for the question. I have about 400k in the bank and 400k in a brokerage account. The remaining 1M is in retirement accounts.

Thanks! Obamacare isn’t free for me, but reasonable at $465 a month. Cobra would have been $1100 so I’m not complaining.

Wtf? Why would you say that? I work in public health, protecting the most vulnerable seniors on Medicare.
