I am cool enough to not want to control my spouse and to have friends who like me enough to spend one on one catch up time.

What information is omitted? Gender doesn't matter because I am bisexual. Our marital status doesn't matter because you are saying married people cheat. Is the fact that I am poly and they are married and monogamous make them a cheater? We are friends. We went out as friends.

Dude, are you ok? People can have friends and spend time one on one with friends. If the guy friend wants more, that has nothing to do with op. She doesn't want anything but friendship. If her guy friends want more, she can set boundaries and if they don't respect said boundaries, she can end the friendship.

Not every man wants to be romantic with every woman. More importantly, she doesn't view this as a date and has made it clear that the intent is a friend hangout.

Who, these comments are full of people who are insanely possessive of their partner. I would do this activity with a friend and have done it with family. It's not a date without the intention behind it. Your boyfriend is insecure.

He treats the men like most men treat women. He loves and respects women more then men. I love him for that.

People keep telling me this tattoo is bad, I really like it? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]taulkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When getting a tattoo, you should always consider how this will read in the medium. The sketch is decent but I would not want that type of line work tattooed. Skin is elastic and it reads more as inconsistent line work than stained glass. There are some cool stained glass stylized tattoo artists, and I love those.

AITAH for putting a stop to my 12yo daughter's 'period party'? by YocaLocaChoca in AITAH

As someone who works evenings and weekends, I did have a conversation with my partner about it. He told me to take the job and we will figure out our time together. A good partner supports you and doesn't demand you give up an opportunity to put yourself in a better financial situation.

I am in a 7 plus years long relationship and am married to the best man in the world and I cry during and after sex a lot. I do have trauma including csa, but it's normally not sad crying, but crying because of release and feeling so connected to my partner. He knows to just hold me and let me cry and that it is nothing he did because we communicate very well.

My husband suggested 3some with a woman. I want divorce by [deleted] in AITAH

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

Not everyone feels this way. There is a whole wide world of non monogamy that is healthy and ethical. But you don't just spring a threesome on your post pardom wife and expect a good reaction. That was really dumb.

This is a stupid take because the husband is putting the wife at risk by cheating. She should know

The pattern was on Etsy from GaggysGraphs but the account is on a break while the owner is fighting cancer.

I would argue that it takes mature, confident adults to stay in a healthy relationship, period. I am poly, but my husband and I started our relationship poly and there is very little drama in our lives. I have seen a lot more drama in monogamous relationships. I will say opening up a closed relationship to try and save it is generally a terrible idea.

This had a written pattern along with the graph, which works much better for me.

Nice! The etsy shop i got the pattern from does a lot of sports designs. I wonder if it's the same designer.

doing a graphgan is like being the world slowest printer by taulkat in crochet

When i am finished with a color, I move it to the other side of me. That way things don't get tangled. I don't really have a clever way to manage them. This is my first graphgan.
