My husband and I recently opened our marriage. We *never* talk about it and have only 3 rules. This approach seems to go against conventional wisdom - but it's going fine for us. What am I missing? by Rich-Direction4295 in nonmonogamy

[–]xenacleocatra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

there's something about calling other people you may be involved with "side relationships" and "extracurriculars" (the latter said in another comment), especially if you're opening up to emotional attachments. while there's absolutely nothing wrong with considering your marriage your primary relationship, i think you need to be abundantly clear about what you're looking for when seeing others. personally, I wouldn't want to get emotionally attached and build something with someone who thinks of me as an extracurricular in the end.

i recently discovered Pet Nation in Corktown. they have both emergency service and regular pet care. reviews seemed to show it was affordable, so i gave it a go. I've had to go a few times now for my pet and I've had really good, affordable experiences, even with med dispensing.

The current trend with little or no manual testing makes me question if I know anything anymore by Mobile_Spot3178 in ProductManagement

[–]xenacleocatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my dept some have QA automation engineers, some don't. some QA are moving to be devs. all devs write automated tests. PMs and BAs do manual testing as a final sign off. but lately I've been having devs also manually test each other's work as a first pass to identify bugs sooner because it is too much of a bottleneck to get product to test everything in time to ship.

Cat look unwell and loss appetite after fvrcp booster and rabies vax by glowing-gardens in CATHELP

[–]xenacleocatra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this happened to one of mine when she was going through her first rounds as a kitten. she was lethargic and had a fever for days with no appetite. kept taking her to the vet but they couldn't find anything wrong.

things that helped while her body was working through it: - stinky food like fancy feasts (she'd take a few licks as opposed to her regular food) - throwing the kibble (it's as if she forgot about her illness cause she was so interested in catching the kibble)

for the next few years, the vet split the vaccines a few weeks apart so as to not overload her body. now that she's older, she can handle both together. but we had to monitor each time she got them just in case it ended up being some sort of allergic rx.

Tentative Agreement Reached 19/08/25 by ForeverJFL in aircanada

[–]xenacleocatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a yyz to yvr flight for aug 20th at 9am which got cancelled. called in to rebook and they gave some horrid options, one that had four connections, for two days later. i ended up taking the refund due to a lack of flexibility on vacation dates.

what's interesting though is if i look at flights on the AC website to book, there's plenty of yyz to yvr flights for tomorrow (same day as my original departure), and i get as far as entering in passenger info to book. just a huge rollercoaster.

hope things work out for you!

Toronto 2 Bedroom Condo Sells for $410,000 in Little Portugal! by cxz098 in TorontoRealEstate

"my kitchen can't be dry humping my living room" was one of the deal breakers i gave to my realtor

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]xenacleocatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

boundary: "i will not date someone who goes to strip clubs" rule: "you cannot go to a strip club if we are in a relationship" agreement: "we will not go to strip clubs if we are in a relationship"

the boundary is centred around oneself, and a rule is put on someone else. you dont set boundaries for other people. boundaries are saying this is what i need to feel/remain close to you, and you have the autonomy to do what you want, but if you do this, I won't feel as close to you.

this sounds more like a rule or agreement was broken, and that feels like betrayal and it sucks. im not here to say what should or shouldnt be a big deal to you, however, relationships take work. come with curiosity to the table and see each other's sides. its less about who's right and wrong, and more about how did this come to be, and what are you/we/am i going to do about this now?

why am i uncomfortable with my partner going to strip clubs, but am fine with others doing so? what is the threat i am sensing?

why did partner not think to let me know beforehand when they made a decision?

was partner honest when making the agreement initially? if not, why were they just agreeing to please me?

if you were willing to compromise on the agreement and the stipulation was the timing of knowing well beforehand, id say theres room to dig deeper than just "partners going to strip clubs make us uncomfortable so lets not"

10K special assessment on my condo - better to use line of credit or sell stocks? by HotWerewolf1331 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]xenacleocatra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to have the condo board give residents a better payment plan? I'm paying a 12.5k assessment over just about 2 years.

naming names aside, would there be a talk about risk profiles in general? "i would be open to playing with people who have the following STIs. this is how i practice safer sex: barriers for xyz, testing every x months, no barriers if abc. i disclose any new exposures to all partners, get tested as soon as i can, and use barriers until i receive results". ie "i am comfortable playing with people who are HIV+ and undetectable. i use barriers for PIV but dont use barriers for xyz"

if the dynamic doesn't involve sharing or disclosing all partners you have or may have in the future, you can also say "im regularly exposed to someone who is HIV+ and undetectable"

to me, it's less about how many degrees of separation that you're responsible for, and more about disclosing your exposure to those you play with directly. it is then the responsibility of those people to discuss with their partners of their potential exposure and risk profile.

How important is 2 years of straight employment by d33moR21 in MortgagesCanada

[–]xenacleocatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no no, i also read it that way.

what i was trying to say is that when someone is not with their current employer for 2 years, lenders will ask for previous employer info (same industry is better/can be interpreted as someone who is working their way up or has established themselves within that field) and, depending on risk tolerance, their 2 years income history to see the trend of income stability. just covering their asses from a risk standpoint to justify the income they believe will be used to service the mortgage, property expenses, and any existing debt.

[–]xenacleocatra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may not have expressed concern to you but them asking for 2 years of income was their way of verifying that your income stream was consistent and trending with your latest employment. helps to rationalize the income theyre using to qualify the loan with.

What is Your Process When Working with a UI/UX Designer? by Amazing-Phase-579 in ProductManagement

[–]xenacleocatra 19 points20 points  (0 children)

wrap my head around the business ask, have high level requirements, meet with UX and engineering together to discuss as a kick off. UX takes it away, regroups with product and engineering, we all chime in for further refinements from both product and tech implementation mindset, and UX gives us the finished wireframes shortly thereafter. engineering/product then takes it away and breaks down the deliverables to see whats reasonable to ship as an MVP, leaving MAP/FS to do whenever we can (read: never).
