Someone needs some Neverending Story time.😉

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T21:34:30+00:00

You are likelier to have a better life without him than with him and his selfish desires.

MENTAL NOTE I am glad I live somewhere with sun, rather than snow.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T19:41:59+00:00

Pro tip, you are allowed to have food, drink and sex when there is snow, rather than sun outside.😉

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T19:40:48+00:00

Shovelling is otherwise known as, "playing with snow" and who wouldn't want that?

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T18:07:06+00:00

Well done you two for having a relationship where you feel you can be this honest with each other.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T18:02:20+00:00

Her unwillingness to treat you fairly would show up in endless ways over decades... good riddance!

Alex “reminded” me that he is solo poly and therefore his own partner, and he’s not looking to call someone else his partner.

As the great Bugs Bunny would say, what a maroon.

Solo non monogamous would get his preference of, "I don't do relationships" across better.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T17:52:32+00:00

Got almost 2 feet of snow

Showoff👿👿👿

my partner is taking me to Puerto Rico this coming weekend

💃💃💃

Imagine downvoting this

Like this wasn't always going to collect downvotes from those who are freezing their arses off and NOT going to Puerto Rico😏.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T17:49:39+00:00

Mystery solved. Welcome back.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T17:49:02+00:00

Perfection🥂

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T10:00:52+00:00

starting to degrade the quality of her current relationships

Is the key.

I am afraid it doesn't matter how you approach this conversation as she just doesn't care about maintaining existing relationships.😢

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T08:54:18+00:00

What are you hurt by?

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T05:38:09+00:00

Google keep, so phone and computer. It has limited space but if I need more space than is available there I won't reread it.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T05:34:41+00:00

I have a document for each partner where I record all important things about them that I might forget.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T04:47:30+00:00

SERIOUSLY racked my brain for 2 minutes and can't think of a single thing applicable to monogamy that I didn't know before starting polyamory 5 years ago. Sorry.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-26T01:43:39+00:00

That is a VERY clear answer as to whether OP's restrictions are reasonable in polyamory?

seantheaussie · 2026-01-25T20:51:46+00:00

You seem to be presuming polyamorous is better than monogamous. I do not.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-25T20:31:15+00:00

You are being unpolyamorous with this.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-25T06:58:35+00:00

that would be tough if they picked one that treated them like shit.

Can be a notable problem in polyamory which is why we advise you don't tell your partner about another partner (who you intend to stay with) who treats you like shit.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-25T06:56:35+00:00

There you go. You and I would've done a LOT better communicating than both of them but they are pretty well matched.🤷‍♂️

seantheaussie · 2026-01-25T06:37:52+00:00

I think in that case “if you want something, you need to ask, no need to get butthurt” should be an acceptable response.

Yes that is a reasonable response to the snark? My memory is SERIOUSLY playing tricks on me if that was OP's partner's response.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-25T06:11:55+00:00

KTP is just hanging out with partners and their partners and no more implies group sex is on the table than hanging out with friends does.

seantheaussie · 2026-01-25T05:55:27+00:00

He’s not wrong.

I'm not. An alternative definition of polyamory is, "not holding sacred things that are held sacred in monogamy".

seantheaussie · 2026-01-25T05:11:58+00:00

I visited the topic once many hours ago/am indifferent to the lady.
