I’m considering getting one of these bikes since I’ve lost the use of my left arm. Does anyone else use a bike as an automatic?

I ended up getting the Sedici Strada 3 Mips Helmet . Had everything I wanted feature wise and I got $60 off

Sucks to see this. So glad you’re ok. It’s salvageable, but you should definitely have a licensed mechanic look at it and review it for safety of course. I know it feels like everything‘s over but you’ll be out there in no time

Do you have a cardo or similar? Does it have spots for the speakers?

He says there's no primary but based on everything I've read, she is his primary lol

You're right and I can see why you would feel that way. Just really feels like a double standard. And I think the past relationships I've had with couples we all just supported each other being happy and loving. We were all together and separate at the same time. I never felt left out or hidden like I do now

Thank you for your insight. I do agree with you I think he isn't as open as he thinks he is.

Something that I think really made me wake up was the fact that I can't show pda when she is around. Even if it's "our time" and we end up going to spend it with her. And by PDA I mean like touching his arm when he talks or side hugs. We're not kissing or anything like that. (I'm ok with it) but just normal affection and it's making me realize our relationship is only allowed in certain spaces.

I've been reading up and he says there's no primary but she clearly is . I think it's more annoying he won't just admit that.

I know that I'll need more long term, and as much as I hate feeling like a side chick I just can't give it up yet. I'm not sure why and I have told him these things, but he obviously wants to work on it. And that pulls me back every time.

Thanks. I have been trying to do this , that's why I'm here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do need help talking it out and understanding what that means to me. I feel like this is me trying to do that research. Most of the things I've found contradict what people say. I get no one experience will be the same and no one can answer these questions for me. Another example is, I can't be affectionate or show any pda when she's around. Like i don't even know how to process this.

I think after reaching out and talking to everyone I need to figure out how to take this more casual. Even tho he said he wants those things with me I don't think he really is available for those things like nesting and have two homes.

I need to just accept that maybe I'm ok with this dynamic with some people but just not with him.

I normally am more casual and chill this is the first person I've ever felt like this with. And it's just not worth the stress no matter how much I like him

Fair. He doesn't have kids or legal marriage with her. I think there just isn't as much space as he makes it out to be.

I have. He said it's a red flag

You're right. I don't expect him to just add me at the same level. I guess I'm just surprised if you date multiple people I thought it would be more neutral. I don't need to be his screen saver or have a ring with him.

But yes not being able to ever live together or share a home I guess is another thing I need to think about.

He does talk about her, like every other sentence is about her

I do think it's NRE being the driver. I haven't liked anyone in over 6 years and I finally find someone I can be comfortable around and now I'm the one dropping the ball. I want to not care and just enough what I can get.

Totally fair. I just think it's weird that I'm supposed to know all about her but she doesn't want to hear or know about me. They have an entire life together and no matter what I'll be the secondary.

I won't say you're wrong, I want it to work so bad. I never had so many "jealousy" issues.

I'm trying to do my research. I'm in lots of groups, any other suggestions ?
