“Introspection is a vital component of informed consent. This means getting to know oneself well enough to be able to clearly express wants, needs and uncertainties; as well as what one can offer or accept in intimate relationships.”
Stepping off the Relationship Escalator, Amy Gahran
We happily accept that we can love more than one child, parent, sibling, teacher, friend or pet. When you think of it like that, isn’t the total exclusiveness that we expect of spousal love positively weird?

Asking someone out while poly
Person: I thought you were seeing someone…
Me: I am. They’re the one who told me to ask you out. Person: ????Left on read….
As person
*whom has explained their previous scars
*has asked you to not ask “hows your day” if you don’t have the time to really chat
*has told you how i feel in regards to your newest addition squashing our NRE prematurely
*has watched her take major priority on your calendar and free time
As a person whos lovey dovey GIF was left all day on READ because weekends you go MIA when with her.
I have gotten your messages. Not in text, not voice, but by actions.
Your game, is well played.
You looked so well put together.. i was so impressed by you.
But i have seen now, you are flighty and have no real plan. You have no real dominance after all. Another fake.
I dont know that this is the game i want to play anymore.
Im not a convenience.
Im a person who let down my walls for someone who lives one NRE high to the next. 😔
come with me
and you’ll see
my need of constant validation
