    Short but sweet

    Oh absolutely. I like to consider myself a "glass half full" kind of person, so I look on the encounter as something to learn from. It was why I chose the title "short, but sweet." That was exactly where my mind went when he ended things. I believed his reasons to be genuine and thinking that...

    Short but sweet

    I appreciate your positive outlook - I didn't get a chance to get too attached, so the healing process should be easier. Amen to that!

    Short but sweet

    He was honest about dating other girls (as well as me) and having been in open relationships in the past, which makes more sense about your theory of just wanting to just have sex and disappear. It was such a shame as the sex was so good though lol. I love your take on this intimidation thing...

    Short but sweet

    Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head there. It does feel like something has been taken away from me, like taking a toy away from a child. His words were "I guess I want more to share you with someone else and have kids eventually and all that. I thought I could be chill with our...

    Short but sweet

    I've been in an open relationship for about six months now, I've had a couple of dates but never felt that "connection" Then I met K on a dating app. The conversation was great from the start and I was super keen to meet up with him. We met for a beer and clicked immediately. Following a week...

    Disturbed Sleep

    We're working on it. We've only been a couple of months and still ironing out the kinks. What would you suggest? (except communication). I'm asking for advice, not opinion :-)

    I lived in Auckland for a year - I feel your pain Perhaps I should find a rich sugar Daddy secondary who can buy me a second house. Real estate in Vancouver is ludicrously expensive 😂

    Disturbed Sleep

    It's difficult to get my head round that, especially after 6+ years of monogamy and assuming just having him in proximity to me is real and valuable time spent together. We do exactly the same though. I'm watching Netflix or FB scrolling and he's playing PS4. This is not quality time!

    Disturbed Sleep

    I really like this idea. I've realized recently that bed is my "safe space". I spend a lot of time there (when I'm not at work or out) but it has always been my go-to place to get comfort - when I'm sad, sick, tired etc. Sleep has always been my way of escaping/healing/dealing. Bringing poly in...

    Disturbed Sleep

    It seems like I've got another ten years of arguing about that particular subject then! On a positive note - he headed out at 6pm last night spouting the "I won't be back late." I had a session with my therapist followed by field hockey practise, so I was mentally prepared for the evening ahead...

    Disturbed Sleep

    We don't have kids and currently we don't have a second bedroom, but we're going to be moving to a new place in a few weeks with a second bedroom, so that's something we could discuss if things don't change. I agree with you about NRE. In addition she comes with a bunch of drama, her life is a...

    Disturbed Sleep

    I have been with my partner for 6 1/2 years and we recently opened our relationship (two months ago). He matched with someone fairly quickly and their relationship has gone from 0-100 at a million miles per hour. I feel like I am running to catch up and I have had to get used to a lot of firsts...
