    So last week's stuff with Arbor is now in a better place. I basically told him he doesnt get a say in what I do with Jurian outside of safer sex practices. We've had a lot, and I mean a lot of conversations. And although I have a bit of experience in solo poly it's quite a bit different with a...

    Well after denial, anger, came depression. I ruminated about something really important last night. I am such a pushover to what the greater good wants. And I'm so fucking sick of it. I told Arbor I'm poly, as an identity not just a choice, whether I was single or with others or anything else...

    I got a new job on the opposite side of town...thinking of renting a place for mon-fridays and partially moving out - like rent a small room near the office for the 2 weeks I go in, then I have a place to work "from home", and not bring work home. I love the idea of hybrid remote work, but I...

    Mid February- Pumpkin is moving out, but I can't be sad for her because she found a great little place that will be perfect for her, She said she just needed her own space and was ready. It wasn't without its little dramas from her, but she's always been a little over dramatic and I'm fine with...

    Well, After vacillating back and forth, I decided to stay with Arbor - for now- and we are in separate rooms now. Or more accurately he's on the couch until March. He has until then to get a start on sobriety (weed) and on mental health stuff. I get he has anxiety, but I've done nothing but love...

    That's so reasonable! I have a manufactured home with 2b room, 1 bath, and a small casita (2bed 1 bath) that I rent out. It's about the same size as Evie's. My place because of location is about 200k, with an acre of land. But if I were on the mountain it'd be double that so I feel that. Your...

    Oh I forgot to cite my quotes / paraphrashing above. Those stages of leaving are NOT MINE. They came from a youtube podcast called the Six stages of change of leaving a toxic relationship by Pi and Dr. Glenn

    Thinking back to my toxic relationships: Pre-contemplation (Not ready to leave): Values the relationship toxicity more than leaving it. Over valuing the relationship instead of looking at the relationship as a whole. “I'm not worth of finding someone else” etc, or self belief of finding...

    I saw your post about diabetes, are you diagnosed with 1 or 2? Definitely get a specialist for it! I have a specialist and she recommended Keto diet, and my carbs are much lower than yours, like aroun 60-100g a day, and I try to keep to around 20g of sugar a day. Everything else is fake sugar...

    I temporarily lost access to my account last year with the big change over to new forums + me forgetting my password and needing resetting + my facebook original email I used here being hacked! So much has happened but I'll just put it down in bulletin points: Me and Arbor are still together...
