That is one of my favorite gifs of all time and I unthinkingly sent it to a slightly wider audience than normal on a 9/11 anniversary a year or two ago and really pissed a few people off. Apparently it's still not funny.

Thats more words than I am prepared to read and from a light skim the problem seems to be that she is a plant and drama is her sun.

I muscled through 4 paragraphs and noped out and read the last 2 sentences "transitioned to platonic roommates" holy poo poo, loving imagine doing that to someone you dated and lived with for 4 years. just wow "we're learning not to resent the changes, but to go with them." oh yeah I fuckin bet. jesus loving christ, this poo poo is emotionally abusive.

Medium is more like long form Twitter, there's some stupid bullshit on there, but there's also a bunch of good stuff too. E: On 2nd thought, switch the 'some' and the 'a bunch of'. Core point still stands.

This is an amazing read  I love it when someone manages to both have their cake and eat it too and then they decide to take a poo poo on the cake and light it on fire.

I honestly couldn’t get through that wall of text but I think a woman’s choice of birth control is her own business, and I went to get my IUD by myself. But then again I can’t really be arsed with one partner let alone a relay team.

That post taught me that you can take something like trying to give your partners input on your own birth control (which I agree, that's her business, but maybe there was some question about STDs, and that's fair. IUD doesn't block those) and STILL make it 100% all about you.

the cool thing about having cool and complex poly relationships is that they're always changing and evolving, like when they evolve from a relationship where you go on dates and have sex to a relationship where you don't. it's a very cool and natural process which is definitely nobody's fault in particular

This isn't the first person at the center of a poly relationship that I've seen trying to pain themselves as a victim somehow and how people are making demands on them and they feel helpless when it's really a mask over them making choices that hurt others. Is there a term for this? Projected responsibility?

I can't believe I read that whole terrible thing, but there were reasons she didn't bareback with the two guys she was already with. Her main partner was obsessed with safe sex, and the other guy was already barebacking with his primary girlfriend so it was never on the table.

Her main partner was obsessed with safe sex, and the other guy was already barebacking with his primary girlfriend so it was never on the table. Yeah her not going all natural with those two seemed reasonable (it hadn't been a problem either) and had it been a poly post about that it'd be one thing but instead she wanted to get an IUD so she could bareback a new partner she'd met weeks ago and knew was practicing unsafe sex with strangers. Somehow she was upset that her other partners using protection were a bit off about it (though ultimately still supportive).

I remember an old E/N story that seems to establish a pattern in these poly dramafests, that the most responsible person involved usually ends up basically as everyone else's babysitter and taken entirely for granted.
