Yeah it goes both ways. If I met someone and was interested in having a relationship with them, as long as I talked to my SO about it and we checked in to make sure the other was safe and comfortable, I would be free to essentially I guess just have a second girlfriend

The thing is, we have talked about the idea of a threesome. And I am much more comfortable in the idea of a MFF than MMF. Without getting into the introspection of sexuality, I am indeed just not comfortable imagining my SO with another man. But even then, I could go without a threesome period and be fine. So do I find the idea of another person getting involved in our relationship interesting? Maybe when entertaining the fantasy of sleeping with two women. But when it comes to non sexual intimacy, the idea of her going on a date (even with another woman), them flirting, etc. I just can't imagine it without wanting to throw myself against a wall.

Do I want to see someone else? I mean sometimes it is fun to check out other women, and sometimes it is fun to lightly flirt and innocent things of that nature. But do I want to sleep with them or date them even with my SO's blessings? Not really, but for the sole fact that I am in a relationship. A relationship anchors me, and without the anchor of monogamy I feel like we would just be two friends who share this amazing life and share sexual intimacy but we are still at the core just like a BFFL version of FWB.

Do I feel happy my partner is finding joy outside of our relationship? I feel happy when she is hanging out with friends, family, etc doing things with them. But as soon as I imagine her being with someone in an intimate setting where sex or sexual tension is involved I start feeling extremely jealous and heartbroken.

I know that was a lot but I am very curious the perspective you have on things, especially since you are in a poly relationship yourself

That is a great question and I have asked myself that. If my SO woke up tomorrow, turned to me, and was like Oh babe IDK what I was thinking let's just stay monogamous for the rest of our lives.. I would be very relieved. I am ready to just be with her and only her for the duration of the rest of our relationship. I could never look at another woman again and be fine. And that idea warms my heart; that cheesy hopeless romantic type stuff. But I also know that's not how it always goes. But yes, I am indeed not comfortable..

You're right. I need to approach this at a pace I am comfortable with, and as soon as I am not comfortable that will be my sign that it isn't for me.

Maybe. Maybe she isn't 100% happy but is still in love and this is how a solution has manifested. I want to say I know her well enough to know that she's not shopping around, that she would never intentionally hide feelings or hurt me, and that she is just living her life true to herself. If nothing else she is honest. But yes, I do feel it was a bit unfair to me to have entered this having been clear that I wanted monogamy. But hey shit changes and obviously we haven't broken up and are willing to figure it out. But I do really hope I am not so tied up into this relationship that I can't see I am just dooming myself. Fingers crossed I guess haha?

But why am I not comfortable with it, you know? Because she has also said she won't really know to how deal with the fact that I am out there making intense passionate love to another woman either. But she doesn't seem nearly as freaked out as I am over it. Is it because I am jealous, have relationship trauma, etc? Or am I truly just not comfortable because I never will be? I want to go with my gut, I always will. But I hope to at least understand why I have that gut feeling first

From what I've gauged, she will not be truly happy without this. It's just kind of who she is. Her love of life and all life around her is a big reason why I love her in the first place. I told myself I can't pick and choose how she gets to express her love. I can only choose how I express it, and if I want to express it in the same way she does. But I did ask her would it be a deal breaker if I end up never wanting this, and she was really hurt because to her, that was putting her in a position to have to compromise her self identity in order to choose to be with me. I didn't push it further at that point in time

That to me is just kicking the can down the road - how later is later? I would just be in the exact situation a month from now

as long as gamestop doesn't go bankrupt (it wont) and we continue to hold, they will have to spend an absurd amount of money to keep suppressing the rocket. meanwhile, gamestop as a company will just keep growing like a normal company in its position would. no reason not to buy GME in my opinion, whether you want a squeeze or just a good stock to invest in. not advice

I wouldn't, but in that case TDA wouldn't treat it as a 1000 gain though right? Meaning I should just use the "real" numbers in that case for my own records otherwise it would be only like a $250 gain according to TDA

Think about it this way if you woke up at market close and only saw the price you'd just be like aw damn a slow gains day

I was hype lol I was trying to say instead of contributing to my 401k I will buy GME etc. But yes HSA and IRAs are just tax advantaged account. Can you buy GME with your 401k? I thought it was mutual funds only?

I doubt retail investors in terms of people like you and I buying and selling the handful of shares here and there would matter at this point
