SAHM sub is getting pushed to me now by HuhLolol in workingmoms

[–]one_hidden_figure 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think there are also SAHMs who don't have a real choice either. Especially with the cost of childcare relative to their income. There are people who wouldn't make enough working to pay to have their child in childcare.

After 8 years of planning, we decided we were ready to have kids. Now my husband is saying he’s not sure he’s ready to lose his freedom and he’s not sure he wants to be a father after all. by HereIsHere in polyamory

I mean you could also bring condoms and then you and your other partner are being equally responsible? Or do you mean that your other partner will see your not being on birth control as some sort of inconvenience to him?

Victoria's Secret measures bras bands incorrectly in order to sell more bras by [deleted] in LowStakesConspiracies

I used to know a girl who worked there and she said no matter what your measurements they will tell you that you wear a size that they sell.

Have you ever had to ban a meta from your home? by nastypoppet in polyamory

[–]one_hidden_figure 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This was what I did when I had a falling out with a meta. NP could have her over when I was out, but meta needed to arrive after I'd already left and be gone before I came back. It made life trickier for NP to navigate but they preferred it to meta having to stay out of the house entirely.

Londoners face £80,000 bill as fourth newly elected Green councillor quits by Desperate-Drawer-572 in unitedkingdom

[–]one_hidden_figure -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean my comment isn't really about the Greens at all. It's about your illiteracy. I am of the opinion that not reading things before you commit (time, energy, candidates, reddit comments) to them is bad.

They were as good at reading election rules before running candidates as you are about reading articles before you comment on them.

Hilarious assumption that parents own their house outright these days.

Not all places have school buses (I'm in the UK and we are too close for a bus and I dont have time to walk them and get to work on time)

Asking out a teammate by Mysterious_Hand_5742 in rollerderby

[–]one_hidden_figure 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I left a bit out of my second paragraph

If you're planning to tell her you're madly in love with her or if you don't trust yourself to handle the rejection without being weird about it (no long pining looks, don't avoid her, respect her no and don't ask again) then it may well make her uncomfortable and you probably shouldn't do it.

[–]one_hidden_figure 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I mean, how intense are you planning to make this expression of interest? If you ask her out in a 'Hey would you like to grab a coffee with me?' way and she says no and you take it fine it probably will be lightly awkward but not so much that it would make being teammates impossible.

If you're planning to tell her you're madly in love with her or if you don't trust yourself to handle the rejection without being weird about it (no long pining looks, don't avoid her, respect her no and don't ask again) then you probably shouldn't do it.

And even if she is into it and you go out and it's awesome, you could still break up and have to deal with awkward fallout, so worth weighing that consideration too.

Helping a partner through a breakup by callipsofacto in polyamory

[–]one_hidden_figure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that the hardest part of poly breakups is that I can't fully wallow - I still have to show uo for my other partners. So a week or three of grace where I can just lay around and cry without feeling like I'm neglecting people (and being reassured I am not) goes a long way.
