On polyamory
(Deserved its own post, from a comment in a locked post)
I had an ex who failed to grasp that when I said that I did not want him sleeping with a particular person, it meant that I did not want him sleeping with her.
And so he came to the conclusion that I was not fine with polyamory, no matter what I said about it.
Imagine his surprise when he took up with another girl, one I actually liked, and he let me know that he'd been getting it on with her. Instead of huffing off and getting all "No, don't want to touch that if it's been near her," I cheerily asked how it was and what was up, and was all encouraging.
Yes, just because you wanted to boink your castrating ex doesn't mean it's a good idea. And yes, when you decide to get it on with someone a little more sane, I will be supportive! Who would have guessed?
