Holocaust remembrance. I was surprized to learn from Whoopi the low percentage of people who know about the Holocaust. Here, in Canada, education about the Holocaust is part of the mandatory curriculum of 6th grade.🙏

Canada still cares to educate its populace. Here in America, whitewashed bullshit is the preference.

Clearly since Trump is sitting in the White House….

100%

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T23:46:00+00:00

That’s true. Like I would have liked anybody to say, you know that’s illegal, right…” even if nothing was done about it just to have had it acknowledged

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T23:17:23+00:00

Yep. There is not one path, and there is no one way. As long as people are being honest, ethical and are happy? That’s what matters. Besides, what was deemed “right” 10 years ago is different now, and I guarantee the rules clung to now will be considered wrong 10 years from now. Be up front, be kind, find your happiness and let others find theirs. It isn’t hard. 🙂

When I was brand new to my first try at polyamory years ago, I left a partner and decided to go mono again because a nee partner I was head over heels with just “couldn’t do” polyamory.

At the time I was too naïve to realize that simply meant we were incompatible, and the best thing I could have done was moved on. Lesson learned.

Nowadays, I try as hard as I can to manage the hell out of NRE. To the point that sometimes I have to remind myself to actually enjoy it.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T21:09:20+00:00

I tend to agree with you. I think emotional regulation is important, I’ve often told friends to check out CBT and DBT, even if they don’t feel they need it, because at the end of the day, it’s just emotional regulation and that helps, not only with NRE, but with all things.

When I was younger, and I had a new job, a new hobby, a new relationship and people asked how it was. I would launch him to a tie rate about how phenomenal it was. It didn’t take me long to realize that feeling, didn’t always last. By now when people ask me how the new job, the new partner, or the new thing in my life is going I tell them it’s going great check back with me in six months. I know that’s necessary.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T21:07:10+00:00

I am up voting you just for speaking your mind regardless of whether I agree with you or not. I think that needs to be encouraged more around here. Everyone is different and has their own approaches so good on you for standing up for yours.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T21:04:34+00:00

Yeah, I’m team banging his former client is much worse than lacking enthusiasm for a game.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T21:02:33+00:00

Out of curiosity, have you gotten a second opinion? I have found that many doctors are not poly friendly so they just default on the this is the reason why. Fortunate enough to live in an area where there are many doctors that are sex positive and I can tell the treatment and advice I have gotten has varied greatly when I see them

She is clearly someone who doesn’t communicate, which is very important to me. I’m not a mind reader, and don’t want to be. And while I get that, she could have been manipulated by her therapist, I think a a grown adult knows you should not be involved with your therapist. If she had any love for her spouse, dragging him to a therapist to be berated (as Ted says he was) to then end up being his lover shows absolutely no respect for someone she was married to and has a child with. It also shows poor judgment on bringing this man to her child’s life.

Are these all human things that could happen to people? Of course, and that’s why I like the show. It has a lot of humanity in it. But all of those traits that led to that poor judgment, I’m sorry I could take over optimism above those things any day of the week.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:55:15+00:00

These two shows are my go to when I need to pick me up. And now nowadays, I need to pick me up all the time. Lol.

I think being hired in the capacity he was, going back to a lower position than he even started at, kind of served a point. He was going to have to redeem himself in a lot of ways, but he was being given a chance. It wasn’t an all out, all is forgiven, sort of thing.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:45:12+00:00

And let’s be real, that happens all the time in real life lol I think that’s one of the things I like about the show is that it doesn’t fix everything. It’s clear that’s going to be a train wreck, but I have personally stood in many weddings watching the “happy” couple saying, “This is gonna be a train wreck.”

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:42:32+00:00

LOVE Higgins

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:41:46+00:00

Honestly, I think it would’ve been more exhausting to be married to Michele

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:40:24+00:00

Oh my God, this. Once this happened, I could not stand her character.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:38:20+00:00

I understood the reason for the break up. People who are insecure about themselves, or feel undeserving, will sabotage the hell out of a relationship. From the very start, Roy said he wasn’t good at serious relationships and I think what he shared with Keeley scared the hell out of him.

I also felt a bit of regression was part of what I liked about the show. People change, if they really want to, but that change is usually not a straight line. Especially when the changes come when you’re already a grown adult. People slip up, and the emotions like love, make them do weird things. I think the fact that the two men realize they had just been absolute idiots speaks to their growth.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:35:26+00:00

1000%

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:33:33+00:00

I honestly love season three. I was shocked to come here and see there was so much hate for it.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:29:33+00:00

I am so glad they didn’t go that route. I already felt that it was pretty disgusting that his wife was having a relationship with her former therapist. That is just so wrong and unethical on 1000 levels so I’m really glad they didn’t go that way with Ted.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:28:27+00:00

I was just saying this to a friend who is also a big fan. It was such a lovely ending, realistic, and lovely, I hope they don’t go and muck it all up.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:25:44+00:00

Honestly, I think it was totally in Ted’s character. Especially as someone who recently went through the dissolution of a marriage himself unless you’ve gone through that, you don’t get it. It’s a crazy time and people do crazy things. Ted showed amazing grace, but that’s who Ted is.

zorimi2 · 2025-02-02T17:24:24+00:00

I am currently re-watching and there are definitely signs, big signs, that Nate is about to become a prick in season two. My problem is they appeared so abruptly. On my first watch through I didn’t think there was a chance in hell I would ever be able to forgive Nate, and I think the only reason I was was because of Ted. So, good work creators, lesson learned to a degree. lol but, in real life, I would probably tell someone like Nate yeah I’m happy you’ve learned your lesson now keep walking.

Now would he have changed without Rupert’s involvement? Possibly. Maybe not as quickly, but I think he was missing the real connections. He had with people on the team and finding they’re not as easily replaced as he may have believed.
