Nope. I just wish it was more mainstream and accepted so that people would have better awareness of where they sit on the spectrum between mono and poly.

Honestly, it just doesn't sound like this guy has his life together enough to be out there playing Master outside the bedroom/dungeon. They're called "Masters" for a reason. It implies a certain, you know, mastery of the things they're expecting to control... that they have enough skill and...

Your sarcasm and aggression are neither helpful nor appreciated. An improvement in your discussion skills would be appreciated by many.

I'm not exactly sure what you're hoping we can do for you. It basically sounds like you just need to sit down and share your insecurities, tell her what you're hoping will happen, and then just sorta jump in and go from there.

She's changed it now, but she originally had Mango labelled as her Master in her signature with herself as tertiary, Apple as primary, and Banana as secondary. I don't emphasise that to make her look bad or anything (I notice it's been changed now), but rather because I feel these terms were...

Precisely, how do you define "cheat on my wife?" How do you think your wife would define it? And all the more reason to tell your wife about the crush, because (a) honesty & communication are important regardless, and (b) if she knows about it, and you know she knows about it, you'll be less...

What utter nonsense. They can't retroactively declare that a previous decision you made was actually an ultimatum based on some other choice he made after the fact, regardless of what additional choices you made based on his reaction. So that's one thing. Then there's this whole kid business...

https://www.amazon.com/Explore-Asia-Organic-Spaghetti-7-05-Ounce/dp/B0078DU1CY/ It's a very clumpy pasta, sort of forms a big mass glob when you put on the sauce. I actually ended up cutting the whole bowl of noodles with a knife and next time I'm just going to break the noodles up really small...

I hear ya. I'm starting to learn that carbs need to either be eaten as part of a balanced meal, or else you need to be a carb fiend eating them all day to keep your blood sugar stable. I'll eat carbs if I'm going to be exercising and need the readily available energy, otherwise not so much. I've...

Yeah, that's what I'd heard and was what convinced me to finally make the switch. I wasn't so much wondering about periods on the IUD as... what would caused her to start getting them on the IUD after 18 months without (i.e. what was stopping them for the 18 months).

If you don't mind sharing, what were you using before the IUD? I also got an IUD put in last Monday, and I had started IF the previous Thursday, so I haven't even bothered trying to sort out whether hunger pangs were hormonal from the IUD or from the fasting. I was on the pill continuously...

Crap. Sorry. I didn't realise they were showing fake concern. I just assumed it was like "oh that's silly, you don't need to bother, you like great!" In that case, I withdraw my appraisal. Maybe they're just brainwashed by the average BMI in the West, and can't remember what "Healthy" actually...

Please read this out loud to yourself. Communication may very well be a major problem, but it doesn't sound like your main issue. His actions are communicating very clearly.

I guess this is my 14th day of the intermittent fasting and I have to say it's going exceptionally well. I'm down 7lbs since I started, but that's obviously a lot of water weight and poop (pardon the tmi). Still, it's nice to finally see the scale going in the other direction, no matter what the...

Does it help at all to remember that their flak is 99% jealousy? Not envy, but green-eyed jealousy. i.e., not simply do they want what you have, but they want you not to have it unless they can have it too. I'm not saying they're entitled to express that jealousy to you in any way, shape, or...

Thanks for the references, I'll pass that on. He's done a lot of counselling, made HUGE progress from where he started (long before I met him). He's kind of at a point these days where he feels he's functional and happy, and he has other areas of personal development he'd prefer to work on if...

I can relate. Growing up, my husband wasn't given any feeling names besides Pride and Anger. That's all he was allowed to express. So at the time when his brain was wiring itself for correlating physical sensations to emotions and corresponding vocabulary, he was being forced to ignore it and...

I wish my husband would see it that way. He's still convinced I'm going to leave him for a woman one day... nevermind that I've been dating a woman, the same woman, for the past 4 years! No matter how many times I say "Why would I leave you when I can just date them too?" and he just laughs it...

When I was younger, people told me that it's possible to change the way you feel by basically making up your mind to feel differently. I told them they were crazy. Then I got older and tried it and it worked. So far, you've been on the fence about Eeyore* and so you've been letting yourself swim...

I suggest finding an activity or hobby that you and the husband both enjoy and doing that together. It's much easier for introverts and quiet people to talk when "talking" isn't what they're "doing." It also makes the quiet periods less awkward. When you focus on something that's relatively...
