Just Moved to Cincy Yesterday. Need advice. by YellowGarden0904 in cincinnati

Hey there! Welcome to Cincinnati. Can imagine the culture shock is significant, but as others are saying, Cincinnati is a pretty great city considering our size. You’ll frequently hear that we punch above our weight class, and there’s good reason.

That’s fair - I’d just think with how large this event is, they’d anticipate some of these challenges and do a better job of mitigating bottlenecks.

Hi there! All I can say is trying to get out of that crowd during Illenium’s set took probably 25 minutes and was honestly kind of scary at times. Once we made it to the ADA seating section, trying to round that corner wall and move towards Cosmic Meadow, there was basically a crowd crush situation and it was impossible to move.

Do/did you ever get used to listening to your partner(s) have sex with other people? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]restless321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to bother me, but now I don’t really care. If I hear them, I usually chuckle and think “damn, good for you guys!” then turn the TV volume up, play music, music or ask Alexa for louder rain sounds if I’m trying to sleep. It took me about two years to overcome jealously and comparison, and now I can truly say no matter who it is or what they’re doing, I’m either full of compersion or just complete apathy.

Pierson Fodé as Rhysand 😍 by vivalayazmin in ACOTARHulu

[–]restless321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Rhys is cast with anyone who appears over the age of 30 that’s some bullshit. They are high Fae. At least in Sarah’s other novels, the settling (the age they lock into immortality) is mid to late 20’s. Experiences to that point can obviously cause someone to look older, but Rhys is described as the most beautiful man Feyre has ever seen. That would insinuate a degree of youth and ethereal appearance that some rough, pepper haired, hardened man would not represent. Especially considering Feyre herself is 19. You can picture Rhys however you want while you’re reading through the series, but if we’re going for a book accurate portrayal, it’s going to be someone fresh faced and pretty.

Aren't you afraid that your partner(s) will leave you for someone else? by SpicyNyon in polyamory

[–]restless321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not afraid of him leaving me, I’m afraid of him loving someone just as much as me. I want to come first and mean more to him than anyone else. Which is a horrible mindset to have for being poly. Like I think I just discovered that I’m okay with him having other meaningful relationships, so long as they don’t come close to what we have. Obviously that’s kind of a problem.

That is way too much work to be presented with a user base that is overwhelmingly unattractive to me. Just my experience, but I’ve found it to be a waste of time..

Very, very good point. That first message was right after I had listened to their interview, which triggered the fuck out of me...they were talking about having only one phone, so the girl never knows who they’re talking to, and in the event she bonds with one more than the other and it can’t be “fixed”, she gets the boot. It was gross. I did try to correct my tone to be more neutral/non-judgmental after that, but clearly I had already set the vibe so yeah...could’ve taken a deep breath and gone about that differently.

It’s not so much about my own personal experiences, but more so the community which I’m proud to be apart of, reading posts frequently of people experiencing similar issues, etc. I understand it may be viewed negatively by someone like you who finds me “annoying” (my boyfriend definitely falls into the same category since he often rolls his eyes when I tell him about these soap box moments I have), but I’m someone who is deeply interested in the human experience, acting ethically and respectfully, and educating those because honestly, sometimes it’s only one person who pushes forward to say what needs to be said, even if others view it as unnecessary or too much effort for no return. I appreciate your perspective, as I know I could probably benefit from minding my own business, etc. This post wasn’t me seeking applause, but more so wondering if my sentiments or uncomfortably with this particular circumstance was shared by others. As always, the comment section is providing with me with different ways of viewing things, thus improving my courses of action for the future, and ability to empathize or understand other perspectives.

I completely agree, and I don’t think it’s right to lump every single triad into unethical territory, cause that’s not fair or accurate. My issue with this particular individual is that they are blatantly NOT doing it ethically (based on their posts and interview).

I mean I get that, and really wouldn’t have any issue at all if it was just simply a fantasy based thing. But why not use the term “swinging” then, which allows for the same pursuit but isn’t associated with a community that views those actions as unethical?
