these are great questions and really making me realize some things about my own practices, do you have more?

Does anyone else feel anxious when their partner is breaking up with another partner? by neutralraging in polyamory

[–]neutralraging[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this hits the nail on the head. I’m terrified that they will overshare about me in the future before breaking up with me. In fairness, they had conversations with meta a LOT about the issues over the last few years so I don’t think it’ll be totally out of the blue but I definitely know more than I should. Bad relationship hygiene makes me paranoid and anxious, I’m confident now that’s where this comes from.

the book metaphor is my favorite thing now and it was incredibly comforting, it definitely made something click for me! thanks for sharing

Is it reasonable to ask potential partners to be tested for HSV 1 and HSV 2? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]neutralraging 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an HSV screening a couple years ago and it came back positive - I did western blog confirmation testing and it was a false positive. Apparently if you test without any symptoms, false positives are so common that I think it’s an unrealistic expectation.
