No but like really, it's the end of the season, you've been picking blueberries every god-damned day, eating blueberries as you go, and you have just had more blueberries every week than the average person in a lifetime and you get home and you're like "hmmm i'd like some blueberries :3: "

I miss fresh blueberries so much right now. There's a blueberry farm near where I live and I ate so many this summer that I'm surprised I didn't pee purple.

That's the best part.

The best fruit is picked by your bf's 3yo niece from her own little garden :3: strawberries and blueberries as part of a normal salad is delicious. She taught me blackberry plants too but she had already eaten them all. So fuckin cute.

I don't even like kids but she is just the best. I got a kiss blown at me for Christmas.

Poly relationships are just having multiple friends who you also have sexytimes with, no? And also you might live with one of them? Sounds like a good time. If I had the time or energy for more than one sexytimes person.

I mean ideally. Where one person is misrepresenting themselves then it obvs isn't an actual polyamourous relationship, its just lies.

The problem is despite what notorious non-science bullshit like "The Dawn of Sex" states, actually being monogamous is a happy arrangement for a lot of folk, and being poly does not = more ~free~, it just means you're loving other people and yea there are associated problems!

I don't think they mean anyone misrepresenting themselves, just that sometimes people think they're OK with being in a poly relationship until they're actually in one and find they can't handle it. Which is why they often turn into huge drama bombs.

I've never met a poly relationship where at least one couple didn't form and break off, and usually not the couple that went in

ergo poly situations catalyze relationship reactions and precipitate different products

Even then there would be "favorites" and less popular members of the orgy group. X is in high demand while Y gets the occasional pity gently caress and spends most of their time cleaning up the mess and slowly growing more resentful.

WE ARE ALL ONE
You girlz have the best chats when i'm sleeping. Happy NYE!

Our pick-your-own fruit places are timed, but you can't bring any home. They're just "gorge on straw/blue/razzberries for 30 minutes and then go home" places. Except the mikan (clementines) places. Cheap and delicious.

I just found a high end local honey store and they had the most delicious honey EVER. It's in my coffee right now and I've eaten like 100ml in two days and I may need to go back and get some more. She gave me a "frequent buyer card" that is REAL plastic with gold writing. It's the prettiest card ever. But I have to spend ¥50,000 to get any perks. (That like $475 right now.) I'm hoping at helps my allergies because blowing my nose sucks. I've never had allergies in my life, and I've lived in TX, MA, IL and CA. drat you, Japan.

I also have never seen poly relationships go well. Usually they seem like "I want to cheat but need your paycheck and you don't think you'll get ANY sex if you say no."

If you don't know 100% that you're okay with that poo poo and then you say you are then that is lies. I have very little sympathy for people who deliberately get into complicated situations, don't like it, then say "well I didn't know this poo poo, boohoo sad sad" and gently caress up everything for everybody.

But I hate people in general so... Speaking of, my friends new bf won't gently caress her and its been like 2 months, have I grounds to have an intervention? Girl is going crazy. They are both like 24 fwiw.

Well that's what communication is about. You talk about the risks and everyone is aware that feelings might start to be hurt and establish that hey, if it's starting to get weird, you push the big red button before it's too late like a rational adult.

There's probably lots of successful poly relationships (or attempts) but we don't hear about them because they don't explode because the people in them have put their big people pants on.

Edit: If they can't even talk to each other about the fact that she wants to bang and he doesn't, that relationship is doomed. Intervene like a mother fucker.

He WAS a Methodist, so maybe in the past but not anymore, apparently. And no. Also before this she had never gone 2 weeks without sexytimes for like 6 years, she's a goddess and I hate to see her sad. Also he sits like 2 desks away from me in work so solutions I can send on a post-it are optimal.
