How did I get myself into this? What was I thinking? Of course I was remembering how amazing last time was after 10 days…so how much better would it be after 30? It just happened to be 30 days and my mouth got away from me before I thought about how hard this would be. And he is defintely not making it easy…although I may have asked for that 😈
Anon, poly is a real thing. But I firmly believe you are or you aren’t. You can’t “learn” it, for lack of a better word. Or perhaps you learn it during your upbringing before it’s time to have a relationship. Either you see that having one in your heart doesn’t take up all the love you are capable of, or you believe that one person is meant for only one other person.
If you can’t see it, you aren’t. And it will be hard to understand those that are. If you are, you probably won’t know it until you find two to love at once.
I believe love is infinite. You can love as many as you can find hours in the day to do so. Do what feels true to yourself.
i see all these posts around here that are like “date someone who…” and all that’s fine and good but like i feel like they focus on cutesy stuff and leave some really important stuff out. so like yes, date someone who you can watch netflix with and pet dogs with and make waffles with but also
date someone who will call you out on your shit
date someone who thinks the sun shines out of your ass, but also knows you’re not perfect and will offer the support you need to change and grow
date someone who doesn’t passively accept your flaws, but recognizes them and helps you deal with them
date someone who you can disagree with but still love and care for all the same
date someone who can understand where you’re coming from and help you through your rough times
date someone who won’t enable your negative, self-destructive habits and tendencies
date someone who doesn’t think “you’re perfect don’t ever change” but rather “i love you and will help and support you in whatever changes you need to make”
date someone who sees you not as a perfect lover but as a human being and who wants to be with you even though they can see all your faults
basically date someone who’s going to be with you, not just worship you. and more importantly, be this person for your SO. do not put them on a pedestal and call it love.
