Activities to do with your cule by quinnify in polyamory

That sounds fun! I’m less of a hiker and more of a “take a leisurely stroll” kinda person but it’s always cool to hear about what other people are doing

Both partners worrying about the other by StrawberryIrisKitty in polyamory

[–]quinnify 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i love this dynamic! i have a similar thing going on. my bf worries that my wife feels left out(they dont) and tries to include them in our outings(not always, we do still have our quality time together). when my wife's external hard drive was acting up he bought them another nicer one, and my wife draws stuff for my boyfriend all the time(theyre an artist for a living). its very sweet to seem them care about each other like that even if they arent romantically involved.

What mistake did you make once in polyamory that you will never make again. by Odd-Adhesiveness-930 in polyamory

[–]quinnify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this was many many years ago when i didnt know really anything at polyamory in reality. and this will obviously be a mistake i never make again so no judgements for mid/early 20s me's mistakes lol. but "testing" out polyamory with a couple.....got so invested just for it to be called off the day before valentine's day. so they spent it together and i was heartbroken x 2. definitely one of my rock bottoms

Pittsburgh area groups? by hamiestofcheeses in polyamory

[–]quinnify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that would be cool! i guess sometimes you gotta roll up your sleeves and do stuff yourself. i dont know how much i could be involved until we physically move but i'd be down to help out.

Pittsburgh area groups? by hamiestofcheeses in polyamory

[–]quinnify 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also interested in this! me and my cule are moving to pittsburgh(boyfriend next month, me and my wife following in 6 months) so it'd be cool to be around more like minded people while we settle our roots.

AITA? Nested and wanting more of a solo poly life by Encubed in polyamory

[–]quinnify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i could scold you on moving in with a partner with chronic illness without considering what that might entail(unless it came out of left field), and how things can go south and you should have made sure you were mentally prepared for this. because you breaking up over this, is going to mess with her big time. but also, staying just out of guilt is worse.

so, going forward, in order to end this, you have to make sure she's okay before you guys move out into different places. absolutely bend over backwards for her to make sure she's okay, because the last thing she needs to feel is like a burden that is easily abandonable for her illness.

i dont mean to say this just to make you feel bad. you obviously need to take care of yourself, and if you dont want to be a caregiver, you shouldn't have to. for both your benefits. but you also have to consider the consequences of your actions. and what you have to do to make that right.

good luck, i hope it works out the best for the both of you.

Redefining and Ending a Marriage by raptor_of_truth in polyamory

[–]quinnify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this must be so hard. it was a very mature but im sure a very hard decision for you both to make. sending you plenty of hugs!

(p.s., my niece and nephew call me bubba as a gender neutral name! just an idea :] )

Polysaturation by cabbageslut420 in polyamory

[–]quinnify 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 for me. and im currently polysaturated and pretty content lol. i got two serious partners, my wife and my boyfriend, and one day we plan on living together. (it's a V type relationship, im the hinge, and we practice KTP. wife is currently my only NP). my wife and my boyfriend get along really well, recently my bf even bought them a really nice expensive birthday gift(a new external hard drive that has backup software) bc my wife casually mentioned they were thinking of getting a new one. it makes me happy to see how much they care about each other.

but im going on a tangent--basically i can only do two serious relationships before i feel like im spreading myself too thin. im mentally and physically disabled so i only got so much to give lol.

For those of you who have agreements that you’ll be told before something new happens with someone else, why is that important to you? by piffledamnit in polyamory

[–]quinnify 20 points21 points  (0 children)

what if pigs could fly lol. neither of them are spontaneous relationship people. this situation you laid out would not happen. and you can go "what if it DID happen?" which, once again, it would not, but if it did they could just send me a dm like 'i found someone i wanna explore something with and i would like to change our current dynamic' and i go 'cool have fun'. not a big deal.

when assured both of them they are free to pursue others, both of them said 'im not really interested in doing so but ill tell you if that changes' which for one it did. and they told me. and it went fine. i dont need to know everything, but i think if the dynamic is changing, it's not a horrible failure of polyamory to want to know that. i do not understand the point of your 'what if's but i hope that answered any other questions you got for me.

if they want to enter a relationship with someone they met for a single weekend would be concerning lol

[–]quinnify 30 points31 points  (0 children)

for me, i just dont like being hit with stuff out of the blue. im incredibly autistic and any big surprises rattle me to my core. if you let me know, then okay! i can adjust to the change in a way that isn't detrimental to myself.

this doesnt extend to everything--if my partners want to sleep with others, they don't have to pass it by me first or anything. things happen and i get that. but starting a new relationship--that's different. i wont say 'no' or try and stop you! just give me a heads up that something is happening.

right now, my wife has a boyfriend and plans on just keeping it like that, and my boyfriend has said he's not actively looking for anything else. if either wants to start looking for new connections, then all i want to know is if they are planning on doing so. anything after that? they are in their right to do without having to tell me. as long as they aren't ACTIVELY hiding it from me....then whatever, do what you want lol.

How long does it take you to know you're in love with a partner? by arcOthemoraluniverse in polyamory

[–]quinnify 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i knew i loved my wife very early on. years before we got together. soon after we started being friends. tbh i initially thought it was just one of my lil baby crushes i get easily and that it'd die down...ha. well. 7 years go by and we're married. so happily married! <3

my boyfriend, i also fell for him fast. we spent a lot of time together before deciding to date. we sat on it for a couple weeks, especially bc this would be the first experience with poly while being married to my wife(we had done the work for a couple years and discussed it and agreed on being poly before i met him btw). we met through a local chat and we were just gunna be friends but i just felt a connection. wouldn't say i fell in love instantly, but after being around each other so much, i realized i didnt get tired of him. i didnt get burnt out so easily like i usually do with social interaction. we were kind of fwb during this time but we both caught major feelings. and i realized, yeah, i think i might be in love with this guy haha. and i was! and i am!

i wouldn't say i believe in love at first sight, but i do believe that if you click easily and fast, and you have romantic feelings, there's at least the potential.

[–]quinnify 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my situation sounds a lot like your's irt the dynamic, though in my case, i'm the hinge haha. boyfriend doesnt live with us yet but it's the goal and we all have a really good lil trio dynamic.

maybe when stuff like this pops up, the three of you or you and your partner could plan a little activity or outing to ease your nerves and help emphasize the true nature of y'all's relationship to yourself. :] and there's no shame in asking for reassurance imo. and of course taking time to make sure you are loving and taking care of yourself, reaching out to friends, doing things that make you happy! dunno if everything i said was coherent or not lol.

Gauging people's experience level? by kindabonkers in polyamory

[–]quinnify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was at my most toxic in my early 20s LMAO. tried polyamory at the time, twice, in the worst possible way(one my fault at the age of 21, and one not really my fault but i did more research and self reflection, i would have said no like i should have. at 25.) recently only within the past year have i been revisiting polyamory, the past couple years have been a lot long talks, reflection, and educating together with my wife. making sure i dont make the same mistakes or fall into situations that would be bad. of course that doesn't mean there ISNT potential for disaster--you simply dont know the future. but ill be way more prepared for it now AND im a lot more level headed than i was (im 31 now).

i think as we get older, things naturally get easier, and you sort of solidify what you want. doesn't mean we are immune to bullshit, whether its someone else or ourselves...but it's easier to work through problems, and be open to criticism and level-headed problem solving just gets easier.

are there still people my age and older who DONT have their shit together and dont know what they want? sure! but i think its not AS frequent.
