    Which flag we reppin?

    A friend of mine just got in a polycule (super happy for them!), and was asking me which flag is correct. I googled it, and it seems like the one with the pie symbol is correct, but we're both vibing with this "new" flag (heart and blue pink and purple stripes). Which flag would be more...

    how can i avoid self sabotage?

    Thank you, Kevin! This was super helpful. After reading this I ended up talking to my therapist and then had a conversation with Cal that really helped settle my nerves over everything. I still struggle, of course. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that. But it's definitely one of those things...

    Also I had dated/hooked up with a few people in our larger friend circle before, one of which ended not too too long ago. It was a casual thing from the get go, but duder kinda fell for me hard and has been struggling with it since I set boundaries and told them them I just wanted to be friends...

    Telling friends about our Triad

    Good question, and honestly, doing it like that would be so nice, but some of our friends are kinda dramatic. Still love them, but yeah, kinda have to handle shit carefully. The document was kinda just a way to, like, not have to explain info over and over again. (Plus I like making documents...

    Telling friends about our Triad

    UPDATE: We ended up working things out with the friend who had a negative reaction. Turns out their response was more tied to some abandonment issues around an experience they had with a polycule excluding them during a turbulent time in their life.

    Telling friends about our Triad

    Yes to both! We all met through one particular game and now game together almost every night of the week. We don't plan on telling everyone in the group (at least not right away).
