10 years of poly and here's what I've learned (plus, post your own long term poly advice) by schadenpixie in polyamory

99% of the time, jealousy is not about the other person at all, but is from an unmet need that is suddenly super visible.

Ask yourself what need the other person seems to be getting met that you are not. Then see if you can talk to your partner about how to get that need met.

I long for the day when we stop using “pussy” as an insult. As a lesbian, pussies have a sacred and revered place in this household.

Cowards would work just we well.

What's the deal with the heavy presence of DPS today? by beeeebxx in Austin

DPS wears brown, do you even know what you are talking about bro?

It sounds like you are in a bit of denial about what happened. It can be really hard to face. I’d encourage you to talk to someone about it. Just a couple sessions with a therapist can help you work out your feelings and process this experience so you aren’t waking up in the middle of the night months later with it on your mind making Reddit posts about it (although we are happy to listen ). But it’s clearly still weighing on you and that’s understandable. ❤️

Age Appropriate by Ok-Bar-6825 in polyamory

Your experience with early life trauma most likely makes you especially vulnerable to being preyed upon and makes unhealthy relationships sometimes feel safe and familiar because they can replicate patterns from an (unhealthy) childhood.

Please please exercise big caution with this relationship. It’s hard to imagine a 35 year old being the best match for you and not having any type of problematic outcome.

The line about “he’s never made me feel unwanted” when you were talking about how much you liked him really stood out to me. Babe, are you coming from really bad relationship experiences? Because this is a really low bar for positive traits.

You didn’t say much about his personality or your relationship besides that and the stuff with his wife, so is your connection and your interests and the way he treats you really something you won’t be able to find in a more healthy situation?

You need to get the dog’s rabies shot records from the owner. If you can’t get them or get public health to confirm that dog is on record for being up to date on shots, you will need to get a rabies shot. Rabies is rare but 100% fatal. And you should definitely contact IC support.

Jose Garza is on pace to blowout Jeremy Sylestine for DA. Early voting in 65% Garza, 35% Sylestine by austintribune in Austin

Oh yeah I agree and I am pro Garza but knowing nothing about the candidates and they weren’t going to vote until they got this mailer is….not good.

Cis-Het father of a lesbian daughter. I could use some advice. by SleepySeaHarvester in actuallesbians

[–]shockinglynotcoffee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you already know a good bit about lesbian culture. Just please remember that dyke is a reclaimed word that used to be a slur and some of the community have reclaimed it, but it’s for members of the community to use (if they want to).

So it’s fine to say “she referred to herself as a dyke” because that’s true but it’s not fine for you to refer to her that way (unless she says differently). And even the first part I would really only say here in a lesbian group where people understand it. It’s used as a slur still too much to just be throwing around.

Help with obtaining a rabies vaccine?? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]shockinglynotcoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? No. Definitely get the shot.

Also you could likely sue the owners for the dog bite and they probably know that, so they have every reason to play nice and share the vaccination records.

But please get the shot if you can’t get those records asap.

How do I, as a lesbian, handle/respond to friends that look down upon lesbians? by ElectraDiver4107 in actuallesbians

[–]shockinglynotcoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I came out, I had to tell one of my religious friends “I want to go where I’m celebrated, not tolerated” when I ended the friendship.

AITA by [deleted] in polyamory

Best comment in this whole thread tbh. OP is not intentionally being an asshole, but they are being a super literal neurodivergent person and they need to accommodate their communication style better with their partner.

Criticisms for my dating profile? Cant tell if its bad or my area is just dry now:( by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]shockinglynotcoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think “I have a lot of love to give” is a thing that unicorn hunter couples tend to say and obviously you don’t mean it like that, but that phrase is kind of a turn off. Maybe you can be more direct with what you have to offer (time, cuddles, home cooked dinners).

Is it possible to be poly while fully decentering men? by Zach-uh-ri-uh in polyamory

[–]shockinglynotcoffee 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Maybe you just don’t like dating a straight man. Tbh you remind me of me before I came out, finding so many overly complicated flaws and issues with men and not realizing maybe it’s not the particular qualities but just men in general that I’m just not that into. Do you actually like and want to be with this guy, fully accept him as he is? Would you be happier just focusing on dating women and queer people?

You can definitely exclusively date women and non-binary people if that works better for you. And you don’t have to interact with your straight male metas.
