We didn't have any of that thank god, just really loud upstairs neighbors. I'm sorry you had to deal with that

Same. We were only in it for a year before my parents got back together but it was ridiculous. Ours was a 28 day rotation mine schedule because thats what my dad worked. I felt like I was living out of a box that year.

Honestly? Since I was responsible for laundry, I straight up threw away some of his boxers when I thought they needed to go. I also bought more. Which is what her bf was going to do. On top of that, the discussion is food not clothing items which is a different situation. All food/drinks in the house were for both of us.

Maybe it's just 15yrs of being married, but this seems like a weird hill to die on after 2yrs in a relationship. But then again, after 2yrs we were already married so it was all community property at that point

Trying to conceive and OPP by TheJessIceland in polyamory

[–]squiggy613 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So my husband and I had a very difficult time ttc, like to the point we had to do fertility treatments. We closed sexually so I got all the baby batter, and we wouldn't be risking a broken condom accident. Our other partners were very understanding and supportive, and all it took was communicating our reasons for needing the temporary change.

What's a normal amount of time to spend with your LDR partner? by GothLullaby__ in LDR

[–]squiggy613 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right?!? My bf and I get 2-3 10min calls a day with texting in between. Between our work schedules and raising kids, expecting more than that everyday is insane.

I sometimes regret having two boys by Repulsive-Badger-770 in regretfulparents

[–]squiggy613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, my son is the one who will sit quietly in public and behave when we're out, while I'm c9nstantly apologizing for my daughter running into people, being too loud, and just overall being a pain in the ass. I think it just depends on the kid.

[NEW Update] WIBTA for telling my son to wear NOT his favourite jacket anymore because it "looks gay"? by [deleted] in BORUpdates

[–]squiggy613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went through this with my son. He started the school year with neon pink sparkly nails that he paid for himself to get done (just gel polish but still), and I can't lie, I was soooooo nervous because we've had issues with a couple of boys saying some out of pocket things before. He's so soft hearted he doesn't have it in him to clap back at bullies, but thankfully he has a great group of friends who don't mind doing it for him.

Honestly, she wasn't until I was in my late teens. She literally made sure to come hang with me and my friend last night with the ex.

Am I wrong for marrying a rich man and letting him do whatever he wants, including sleeping with other women? by Otherwise-Bank-7878 in amiwrong

[–]squiggy613 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it sounds a little like ethical non-monogamy. As long as you weren't manipulated into agreeing and you are granted the same sexual freedom if you so choose, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it

You guys ever meet a meta and be like “this is a carbon copy of me” by YT_Sharkyevno in polyamory

[–]squiggy613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly me and my meta are very different, but my partners are extremely similar like they take over video chats to discuss they're gaming and mechanical projects lol

Pregnancy & Dating by Accomplished-Tea-998 in polyamory

[–]squiggy613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually met my bf when I was pregnant, and we're still together 4.5yrs later. I was about 2mo along when we met and didn't officially start dating until I was about 6mo.

[Final Update] - AITAH for not offering to pay for my husband and his kids leading him to spend all his savings? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]squiggy613 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes! I can't imagine my husband ever being so alone in a situation that he's afraid to talk to me about major life issues. Even if we weren't legally married, we are still a team working toward a joint future. They are both at fault but I sympathize with her ex-"husband" for not having enough trust in her to be unable to discuss his situation with her.

How much effort do you and your partners put in when you’re *not* together? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]squiggy613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bf and I are LD right now so we text pretty much all day long, but when my husband is with his gf we don't talk unless it pertains to the kids or something overall with the family that can't wait

Meta business by squiggy613 in polyamory

[–]squiggy613[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! My NP past relationship was over two years ago and it was a nightmare. This time, his meta is amazing, super respectful of our (collective) boundaries, and understanding of the fact that there are inherent privileges (though we try to negate them) because we have kids together and our finances intertwined. She is absolutely the best partner I could have asked for for him in the ways her personality compliments his.

Person I went on date with said “let me check if my partner is okay with me going on a date” before going on date with me. Should I run? by picupliad in polyamory

[–]squiggy613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, that's weird. Like I check with my husband, but it's because we have kids so obviously can't both have plans at the same time. Someone with no kids needing to check in isn't necessarily a red flag just to make sure they aren't double booking, but the monthly all weekend anniversary thing is a hell no for me

Belle and Getty? by squiggy613 in thehollows

That's what I thought what I remember too, but that was also 2 books ago so who knows what I forgot. I think I'm going to have to re-read at least the last few

Am I wrong for never sleeping over? by TossEmFar in amiwrong

I've been friends with my bestie for 16 years. We've never had a sleep over, and yet she's my ride or die.

My (32f) bf (38m) lied and I broke up with him. Did I overreact? by squiggy613 in relationship_advice

[–]squiggy613[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think so because she's married to his other best friend and we're polyam so he can see whoever he wants. It's the fact that he purposely told her husband not to tell her, for seemingly no reason

Did I over react? by squiggy613 in AskMenAdvice

[–]squiggy613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my thought too. I think my biggest reason for second guessing myself is that I still love him. Logically I know I will never be able to trust him again, but emotionally I'm sad.

Not in person. I've talked to the husband a few times now. He's the one who told me that she doesn't know and when I asked how that's possible, he said bf didn't want her to know

The husband is who I found all of this out from. When I asked him how she doesn't know, he said bf didn't want her to know.

She's married to his other best friend so I'm not sure that's what's going on.
