    What to expect from the new film Trainwreck

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-pwOQl11s4 So this film seems to be a RomCom about a woman who rejects monogamy. It got me interested... enough to watch the trailer. Now I'm just irritated by it. It seems to be written from the perspective of someone who is monogamous and considers non...

    I'm Worried My Girlfriend and I come Across as Unicorn Hunters?

    Nobody specific. I just think that I may well think that if I were reading a similar profile. People can be quite judgmental. Since we do think this is one possible form of non monogamy that could suit us - I worry that outwardly it looks like the only form of non monogamy that could suit us...

    I'm Worried My Girlfriend and I come Across as Unicorn Hunters?

    You're right - I'm sorry I guess I just thought that putting the shades in, calling myself an arsehole as a side comment and putting "such" in unnecessarily would have made it apparent... but you are certainly right that things like tone don't come across well in text. Either way, I apologise...

    I'm Worried My Girlfriend and I come Across as Unicorn Hunters?

    Do they have sarcasm in Texas? I thought it was obvious I don't *actually* think that a hot bi babe is the only possible option for us. It is however 1 of many options that could work for us and I just worry that it could look to others like that's the only possible thing that we're looking for?

    I'm Worried My Girlfriend and I come Across as Unicorn Hunters?

    I've been poly for 2 years, she's been poly curious for about a year, we met last summer and have been pretty much monogamous since - lots of talking about stuff and discussing what we would be comfortable with. I looked at the possibility of getting back with an ex though and that particular ex...

    Please advise me on how to support my girlfriend, I'm lost - *potential trigger*

    I think also all this failure to understand how she works in these situations is a final reminder that I think I might be mildly autistic. I have family members with autistic traits so growing up I always assumed that all our brains worked in the same way, but now I realise that it's quite...

    Please advise me on how to support my girlfriend, I'm lost - *potential trigger*

    Thank you for all your advice. This has all given me a much greater understanding of this kind of trauma. Most importantly that article on flooding has made a lot of sense now that I've been able to look back over other arguments we've had. I'm a very logical thinker. I crave to understand her...

    Please advise me on how to support my girlfriend, I'm lost - *potential trigger*

    I think the asking for verbal permission before ANY contact is a good idea. Communication has always been the issue between us. She has serious anger management issues that make things difficult. They do stem from fear though, rather than malice so I try to be forgiving. She describes it as...

    Sexual assault trigger warning - I need to tackle some big issues in this post, I hope they won't be a trigger for you and I hope you can see that this post is clearly coming from a place of love and care, but I can't 100% guarantee that they WON'T be a trigger so if you don't wish to read on I...
