    wants vs. needs

    needs are associated with our psychological security. Think of the question, what is it in this relationship, or life in general, that I work HARD at? Now let's say it's looking good (for the sake of simplicity). Let's say you work hard to look amazing for your partner(s). Now let's take the...

    New to poly and in DESPERATE need of outside perspective

    Keeping on the down low was reference to my potential partners additional hookups or fwb situations where there's no romance per se. I'm incredibly aware and sensitive to other people's feelings only that I'm at a point in my life where I need to take great care of my feelings as I do others (I...

    Astrology

    *raises hand sheepishly* ... stubborn goat here :p:o but I happen to be a skeptic with astrology despite its description fitting me. there's just no science behind it whatsoever. even enneagram (which has spiritual roots) has been intertwined with westernized psychology in depth so has its...

    SUPER AWESOME SUGGESTIONS!! ... For me at least. However here I've been trying to enjoy the moments because I'm often so serious! hahaha, but maybe you're right. maybe it's okay to just be the serious me (for now). He's a "in the now" type of person which is good for me but I think maybe my...

    New to poly and in DESPERATE need of outside perspective

    thanks for the sweet reply :) Not all introverts are the same (as with extroverts). Some are very social oriented with gossip (not to be used with negative connotation) and others abhor gossip and small chat. some introverts are more in touch with the feels and others not. I tend to always pair...

    New to poly and in DESPERATE need of outside perspective

    True. I think the reason I got caught up in the first place is because he made a point several times to say how he allocates his time to whomever is more important to him. What am I supposed to do with that? I don't experience things the same way. I can go weeks at a time and not talk to someone...

    What other variants of sexuality do you define yourself as ?

    Thank you so much for this reply. For me, I'm pretty asexual unless I have a deep connection (which is so rare but special and I do enjoy it). For me though, unlike many typical oriented people, I tend to love on a deep level all people I make connections with. I have that "I love humanity but...

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    I have no idea what I am or what my threshold is frankly ... new to it irl. However, I was in the global studies program early in college which is where I first learned of it. I have had several friends (including myself) that have had no problems with Open relationships. Which equates to a...

    What about the Kids?

    For what it's worth, just an irl experience to share - My best friend has a child and is with a man (as his second wife) and the first still lives with them with her two children (same dad). They tell people in the neighborhood the first wife is her child's aunt (the child knows this and it's...
