So it's been awhile since I've updated my "blog" here and I don't like being on the second page either. ;)
Still coming to my own realizations and understandings when it comes to Elric. We are doing really well in our friendship although we don't talk as much as I would like, once a week maybe...
Although if they ask a direct question, I still tend to answer it. If it's just BS texts, forget it. That is one thing that bothers me, if I ask a direct question whether in person, online or in text and they don't bother to answer it...ever.
This is actually kinda nice, even though tragic and sad as well. There doesn't seem to be any inlaid negativity toward poly in the article which tends to be common.
I don't see that there is a difference. There may be in the way society has made mono love out to be; the happens once in a lifetime, if you are in love you don't need to/can't be in love with anyone else, that when in love your mind ignores outside possibilities. The only difference is that...
Oh no, I can deal with the "old" ones as I was a chatter for a long time before texting got big and an MMO Gamer where speed and brevity can be essential. But I use those particular words all the time. I think it's more the mixing of chat speak and l33t speak, such as you would see with the LOL...
I think in any poly relationship, or even just an open relationship, this is a no brainer. Whether we have complete trust in our partner or not (which you obviously do not with good reason), a sexual relationship with a third (or more) party needs to be told because it can and may effect...
I sounds like you are doing a very good job at attempting a poly lifestyle. HE is the one that is not. The continual breaking of agreements and guidelines, the lying by omission (we have an entire thread about whether omission is lying), the sneaking around behind your back... it sounds like he...
These are great questions! They would be useful for anyone who questions whether a poly household is a healthy environment. Thank you for putting these up.
Sounds like you had some decent workers checking out your case. Just like with the therapist, the case workers can put their own beliefs and morals on their decisions, lawful or not. But sometimes you get the one person who actually is more interested in following the rules of the job and not...
This is similar in the US, as well. Anyone can make a call to the DCFS (Department of Children & Family Services) and they will look into the allegations made by the caller. If they are found to be false, the "accused" has 10(?) days to request the caller's information, in which they can...
I very rarely use text speak, usually it is because I'm in a hurry to get the text out and get on with what I'm doing. Then again, I don't text all that often to begin with. lol (<--one text speak that I do use often)
Bad grammar is a huge pet peeve for me. But one that has come to light for me...
The discussion group that we are a part of has a few guidlines (as opposed to rules), one of which is "Consensus is not expected and agreement is not necessary ...We know that most questions have no one answer and we don't get together to figure out how to achieve world peace. We get together...
I agree with the idea that it is situational and it also depends on how the truth is expressed.
Along the lines of "someone's cooking", If asked what I thought, you give constructive criticism if you didn't like it. Point out what you did like about it and what you did not.
As for more...
1: Lock your doors. You may be in a safe neighborhood, or have some other reason for it to be okay. I grew up without needing to lock our door unless no one was home. But if you were already worried about what your mother might do, yeah... time to start locking.
2: Chances are that she saw you...
