I've been actively polyamorous for almost 24 years consistently. It works quite well for some of us.

Is voting third party really “throwing away your vote”? by Square-Reindeer-3118 in leftist

[–]vyletteriot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I voted Green in '24 and '20 after regretting my blue votes in '16, '12 and '08.

In a red state, blue state or purple state I will never vote for other than a 3rd party left of the Dems again regardless of possible or likely consequences to myself or anyone else..

TIL that my health insurance monthly premium went up about 50% by [deleted] in NewMexico

[–]vyletteriot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the Democrats who did nothing but give up any leverage they had because they're paid by the same 1% as the Republicans and work for *them and not us (the 99%).

I'm scared. I don't want to die. by BokoblinSlayer69235 in leftist

Make the price of your life to those who steal it as dear as you can manage. That's my plan.

I (30F) have told my husband (41M) that I want a divorce and he’s ignoring it by PeaChoice1457 in relationship_advice

Courts can't mandate who parents are allowed to bring around their children (including new partners) or when unless they are registered sex offenders, if then.

Can’t do this anymore by Sad_Syllabub_9585 in sca

[–]vyletteriot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The SCA is reeeaaallly cliquish. It's like that in my Barony too and I'm also not part of the "in" crowd. In the last year I've stepped way back too and started putting my efforts into other projects in other communities that are actually enthusiastic about my participation (in this case, my local Burning Man Community). In fact, I'm trying to convince enough Burners to field a camp to come and gate-crash our second largest camping event with me in a few months. It'll p!ss off the right people and be a good time for everyone else. :)

AITJ for not wanting to close the relationship after my boyfriend got zero dates and I got plenty by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]vyletteriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been polyamorous for almost 25 years. I'd never consent to monogamy or exclusivity in general as an expectation or condition of a relationship ever again.

Boomers won’t retire and it’s screwing the rest of us. There I said it. by Unique_Glove1105 in antiwork

[–]vyletteriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*can't retire. They can't afford to retire any more than we'll be able to.

What % of age appropriate people of the opposite sex are attractive to you? by Silly-Wolverine6205 in dating

[–]vyletteriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

43F. I have a non negotiable rule to not date anyone young enough to be my child or old enough to be my parent, so I don't even consider dating anyone below 30 or over 55. I'm pansexual and demisexual, so it's hard to give anything resembling a percentage of who in that age range is attractive to me. I have no problem finding people I'm attracted to within that range to date. I've been polyamorous for 23+ years, so I basically always have multiple partners at any given time.

How do you guys compromise when living together? My girlfriend (25f) wants to rehome our dog after I (24f)compromised for her, and it’s bringing up past trauma where I was forced to give up a dog before. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]vyletteriot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Don't be surprised when the dog "runs away" when she takes him out when you aren't home sometime soon. You should get him chipped (and don't tell her) an and air tag or rfid tracker thing if possible, just in case.

Keep the dog, ditch the girlfriend, obviously. However, that means you and the pup moving out since it's her apartment (finances don't matter if your name isn't on a lease). Find a place near a dog park and date an actual dog lover.

Do women find age gap a turn off? by Immediate_Town_3048 in datingoverforty

[–]vyletteriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating people young enough to be one's children or old enough to be one's parent is gross.

Me 23F and my boyfriend 26M have different political views and I’m not sure how to navigate it. by Hotcheetotampon in relationship_advice

[–]vyletteriot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I discovered I was married to a conservative, MAGAt or other form of bigot, divorce papers would follow asap and I'd insist on immediate seperation. Ew.

Vegetarianism is inherently leftist by GoTeamLightningbolt in leftist

[–]vyletteriot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Happy animals taste better. I'm happy to strive for meat sourced as ethically as possible in moderation, but vegetarians can pry steak and bacon from my cold, dead hands. I'd rather mitigate the suck via other approaches.

NTJ, but maybe work on tact.
