maskenfreiheit posted:i'm not a troll look at my post history, sorry that being a strong advocate for sexual freedom rustles your jimmies quote:if you're otherwise compatible and the dealbreaker was loving other people, you're slutshaming. along similar lines if you found out your not-yet-bf was part black, or had a jewish mother and claimed that made you "incompatible" it'd also be biased and wrong. your other examples are things rooted in logic (i want to be in the same city, i don't want to be a parent) whereas denying someone for their sexual history or race is just bias Polyamorous people can do whatever they want, hooray. People who want monogamy just shouldn't date people who don't. Also fwiw discriminating against parents is illegal under the Fair Housing Act, parents are literally a protected class, and children are just evidence of sexhaving, so imo you should look into your heart there

My girlfriend is away on holiday just now and while we both decided not to bother with Valentine's day because it's nonsense, she went online and got me a customised little keychain with a picture of my favourite mandolinist looking very silly with 90s frosted tips and pulling a ridiculous face on stage. There was no expectation of something in return, she surprised me with it, and I laughed for a full half hour because of how funny and perfect a gift it was. I'm a mandolinist and pull funny faces when I'm playing sometimes and it took absolutely no effort to put together a cute little gift that I absolutely love and probably cost more to deliver than to make. This poo poo ain't hard.

How do you not get her anything for her birthday or anniversary aside from an exercise ball because it ‘might help her go into labor’.

An act of service is a god drat gift and it is an attentive understanding of that person if it's help you identify they need when they're stressed or upset or whatever.

AP master buddy. A few years after me my little brother had the same teacher I'd had for APUSH and AP Euro and he went into AUPSH day one like, "oh yeah I'm Dude Pandora, but I just go by Pandora," the teacher looked him dead in the eyes and said, "no. Your sister was Pandora. You are merely Dude," and then flipped him poo poo all year about me getting 5s on both exams.

Caganer posted:so basically they operationalized the normal components of a relationship like doing chores for one another? and said pick one and it's your love language? Man, i hate defending this stuff so much because I haven't even taken the quiz myself, but it's more like all 5 things are really important, but people tend to have one as their go-to when they want to express affection. The book teaches people how to recognize how their SO communicates affection most often, and if the two partners don't communicate in the same way, they can learn how to "speak" the other's "language." So if say, I appreciate spending time together as a couple most but my SO appreciates "acts of service," we could each be trying to do loving things that are exactly the opposite of what the other wants, me chilling out with my SO which looks like "doing nothing," and him going off to run an errand which looks to me like us not spending time together. The book is an attempt to teach each people that partners may not express love in the same way, but that doesn't mean love isn't there. It seems comparable to academic learning styles, where a teacher might mistakenly assume a student is stupid because they're a tactile learner and only getting lessons geared towards visual learners, for example. Really the whole idea of "I love you so I've made the effort to learn what's important to you and make sure I do those things often" is pretty fundamental for a mutually respectful relationship, but anything starts to look weird when it's dissected for educational purposes. Just ask a frog.

It's never used that way in healthy relationships and every post about it is either one extreme of "I suck at everything but do one good thing for my partner, why don't they respect my love language" or the other "my partner does so much for me but I feel neglected because they don't do the one thing, why don't they respect my love language?" In an ideal world it'd be used to identify what other people do that suggests they love you, but in r/relationships it's always about what they aren't doing that suggests they don't love them.
