LegionEris,

Our Flag Means Death is upbeat in the first season. The second is more dramatic, but also fucking phenomenal. A romantic adventure comedy becomes a romantic adventure dramedy.

What are your experiences with polyamory, first or second hand?

I personally am in a phenomenally stable polyamorous relationship. I’ve been married to my wife for 12 years, and she has had the same boyfriend for about half of that time. It’s a really fulfilling arrangement for all of us in various ways. We’re all genuinely happy and satisfied. I’m kind of casually looking for a...

LegionEris, (edited )

it always fascinates me how eagerly no life losers seek and lash out at people, if it allows them to feel better about themselves

LegionEris,

I upvoted you. I asked for experiences. I was hoping for success stories, but I came into this understanding that most people don’t have them. If literally nobody on Lemmy but me had a good polyamory story, that would be valid and wouldn’t discourage me.

LegionEris,

Wife isn’t really looking because she is graysexual and doesn’t really want any additional deep emotional connections

This kinda describes my wife’s boyfriend’s wife. (That was just fun to type out) Basically, because of the place and way she was raised, she didn’t understand that she was ace until she had two kids, and her sex life continued to exist. She was/is more or less done with that part of her life. She has two kids and a husband and a home, and that’s why she was having sex to begin with. As long as she has those things, she doesn’t care that her husband does things she does not enjoy with some other women. She’s happy with the way her life is. Plz don’t make her add sex back into the equation.

LegionEris,

DO NOT ADD ANOTHER PERSON BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILING RELATIONSHIP

It’s insane to me that this apparently must be said by multiple people with massive emphasis. We only considered this because our relationship was and still is so strong. We just met really young and have a lot of love to give. I don’t want to lose my wife or have had only one great romance in my life. She didn’t want marrying a woman to mean she would never experience men again. So we share the incredible bounty of love in which we live.

LegionEris,

Omg yes. This is the primary discussion of polyamory, and it drives me crazy. None of that common description looks like my life.

LegionEris,

I should really think more about compersion. It’s an idea that I think and talk about frequently, but it’s a term my brain hasn’t yet held for the long term. But I have huge amounts of compersion. I get so excited when good things happen to the people I care about. Our polyamory thrives on how happy it makes me to see my wife in that happy, lovey way with someone. I am just as delighted that my best friend was recently promoted to AM as I am that I was promoted to key lead with her. Compersion is a big part of my life that I should give more space and respect to express itself.

LegionEris,

It didn’t involve the assistant manager of a cheap motel, did it? I guess if you were the person I know who had that experience, you’d probably recognize my name and story.

LegionEris,

With those two words polyamory, a practice as old as humanity and in every corner of the world, has been… FINALLY DEBUNKED! I can’t believe I was here for the destruction of a lifestyle!

LegionEris,

I actually consider myself a selfish person. But I experience huge amounts of compersion. It makes me so happy when good things happen to the people I care about. It’s selfish of me to want more than one partner and to revel in my wife’s other relationship. But I’ll be damned if senseless or traditional moralizing is going to stop me from being or making people happy.

LegionEris,

Ngl I had to look it up to be sure. I was correct, but I wasn’t confident.

LegionEris,

We opened up an existing relationship, but it was more my idea for her to have a boyfriend. I knew she romanticized affairs and infidelity. I knew that her experience of being with a man romantically and physically is meaningfully different from how we are together. And I’ve just never been that sort of possessive, so I encouraged her to seek out something I couldn’t give her

LegionEris,

People already suck at handling a single relationship so statistically handling more is just significantly more difficult

I guess that’s a fair point. My wife and I were the stable thing in each other’s lives for years before this started. We have a love that can’t be stopped and have navigated more together than most couples ever will. Neither of us would have considered a second partner if we thought it could have weakened our foundational relationship. That is what has freed us to have these experiences.

LegionEris,

That’s actually what I like about these sorts of communities. I recognize a few super posters and a few specific regulars from communities I frequent. (@skymtf I want you to know that I think about you and you matter <3) But mostly I’m dealing with disembodied ideas and content. It’s a conversation with strangers who meet up to talk about certain subjects. We get little bits of each other in a vacuum. We have to address only that bit we’re given, because we don’t know each other.

I use other social media for real community. Lemmy is for camaraderie. We meet to do something, not to just be.

LegionEris,

Maybe her third thumb is just a little slender. If I position my hand like that, I can almost reach. I don’t think hands with those proportions would be impossible. It’s probably a little wonky genetically, being her third arm and all.

LegionEris,

It’s extra impressive. It got 15 fingers right!

LegionEris,

Subs: New All: Top 6 hours Or, when I’m feeling adventurous, All: New

Sometimes I want that wild west.

LegionEris,

Yes! Pronoun reference errors hurt my very soul, but they are an inherent risk and pitfall of all pronoun usage. It is fun, when someone is resistant to using another person’s pronouns or is a dumb fuck bitching about pronouns because an angry bigot shouted about pronouns on TV, to point out that those people already use pronouns like shit. Because they always claim a concern for accuracy, then speak and write like shit.

LegionEris,

Real Joe Pera vibes.

LegionEris,

Yeah, couple times, but not for years now. Fetishizing pre-industrial times sounds nice if you aren’t one of the many people who would have died or lived with an untreated illness or condition your whole life. You should look into what they did to that man in college. Then find someone more stable making similar points and saying similar things. Industrial skepticism isn’t unique to Ted Kaczynski. The truama and subsequent mental illness that pervade his theory and philosophy is.

LegionEris,

As long as the little brick box that is my dispensary wants to sell weed as much as I do, we’re good. I’d greet it heartily and and feed it edibles.

LegionEris,

Shot on VHS cassette tape! A lot of cheap, weird movies were shot on video cassette. And I love them. Tales From the QuadeaD Zone is an absolute classic. I could watch a lot more of them, but my wife isn’t the same caliber of enthusiast.

LegionEris,

My real problem is watching too many random bizarre trash and z grade movies instead of popular things. Very few names can outweigh the allure a movie being shot on video o_o I love shot on video movies.

LegionEris,

Not of the aliens gave Martha Washington the technology to become impregnated by the Bigfoot variety, but there are always plenty of conspiracies on Hexbear. It’s wild how deep into history revision and denial some people will go to justify believing fairly reasonable things.

LegionEris,

Joke’s on you, sassy crab. Sunday is my Friday! I have three days off now! Weekend is on!
