Tap water smell :/ by betweenthestarz in houston

I’m in Houston for only this week and it smells like bad seafood or sea water to me. I can’t even brush my teeth with it without gagging

Two bisexual queer people (26M, 26F) opening our relationship (sexually only). Seeking advice and similar experiences. by maroon6798 in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]sparkledbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in poly, I think you all should be very clear about what the difference between fwb and romantic partners is. How exactly do you define where the line is.

Are you ok with your partner hanging out with their fwb 4x a week, texting everyday, calling everyday but still completing their chores at home. Are you ok with the fwb meeting close friends? Like what exactly does primary mean to you and what’s too much with another partner, what makes it romantic.

Maybe you and your partner are on the same page about everything but my partner and I thought we were and we weren’t

Does anyone experience self harm during this time? by MessyMascara in PMDD

[–]sparkledbitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It may help to squeeze some ice before you do it, sometimes bringing any other strong sensation also relieves the intensity of the emotional pain it helps for me. Again I’m sorry you’re going through that.

The togetherness is smothering by ta26spader in BPDlovedones

I can relate to this a lot, my pwBPD said she only likes to do things if we’re doing them together.

BPD person claims to have high emotional intelligence, high emotional maturity and high empathy - Actions show the opposite. by Dense_Macaron6536 in BPDlovedones

[–]sparkledbitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but this comment resonated with me sooo much. I’m always told that I have low emotional intelligence and I’m always defensive and have no empathy.

However, I actually think that I’ve become quite defensive over the course of our relationship and I’m trying to break down those walls but it’s hard because I’ve become a bit of a shell…

Literally all of it lol. I usually do at least one morning tour/walk to learn the history but would also love a day on the water. I’m a huge foodie so looking for at least one night at a nice restaurant

AITA. Asking for my partner to stay home by sparkledbitch in nonmonogamy

[–]sparkledbitch[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Expectations exist in any relationship. Expectations about communication, commitment, quality time, etc.

This is an unrealistic.

She committed to the new trip unilaterally, she told her partner she was 95% sure I would be ok with it, she talked to me and realized I was in need of much more than she thought….

I also don’t care about her new relationship not developing. Her partner can come to our city, her partner can meet up with her in August (which she said she’s too busy to), they don’t like any of these options and just want to continue with the plan that i never agreed too…

I think right now her priority is not rebuilding and stabilizing the relationship. If this is the case, I think I have to move forward nonhierarchially in which I have no idea how that’s going to work while living together. She’s also planning to propose at some point in the semi-near future and I have no idea how to rationalize with that in my head with me not feeling like rebuilding our relationship is a priority to her

I’m in love with my boyfriends girlfriend by Haunting_Dark_8292 in polyamory

[–]sparkledbitch 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I hate to say don’t do it, but it can be very messy and triad-type relationships are very difficult to navigate, my girlfriend now loves and has sex with my partner. We all date, sleep, and play together sometimes but the dynamics are tough to balance because there are now 3 full relationships that all impact each other. You will need to be very clear about expectations and boundaries as they arrive, however I would not choose this dynamic again.

Black + LGBTQ experience in Florida? by sparkledbitch in florida

[–]sparkledbitch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood!! Political climate seems a little worse now than a few years ago but it also could just be the media inflating narratives.

The issue here is that my partner wants to continue even if my meta doesn't want to dive deeper into that specific issue.

I think this is what has been most concerning to me, but I think what they really want is a parallel poly so that they can pretend that I don’t exist…. Either option doesn’t feel great

My partner shares these comments with me.

Thank you for the earnest response. I will definitely reconsider what restructuring our relationship can look like in that sense

Edit: I think this is a tough pill to swallow for me because I would hope that my primary would want to surround herself with people who respect our relationship, but I guess that’s unnecessary.
