I have. Tried to do the poly thing a few times, but the folks involved were far too emotionally messy for a serious relationship.
That would probably be the way I'd want to go, but, personally, I've seen very very very very few poly relationships with a good dynamic between partners, remained chill, and were emotionally healthy.
Lol I've been with all kinds. Long or short, it's just not an act I'm into. But I remember a time when it went on for what seemed like a near unbearably long time, but the guy seemed very proud of himself, so I didn't want to rain on his parade. Felt like mental torture just waiting for it to be over.
I actually have tried it before and gave up after a few separate times.
I'm super super super open to poly relationships, but it seems like most folks who are also looking for/in poly stuff are not emotionally mature enough to make it work properly.
The pool is barely a puddle with all the requirements to make my particular situation work out. I'm just working to kind of accept my fate, at this point.
That'd be great, if A). ace folks weren't VERY far and VERY few between, and B). "I'm an ace who actively sex." Because apparently that's a thing with 0 differentiation, which makes everything 100000% more frustrating.
Yes. And it sucked. And it still sucks.
Within the last few year, I've finally realized I've been asexual my whole life. I've had sex before, but I struggled to care about it or enjoy it. It was always inconvenient, messy, went on too long, etc. I had enjoyed spending time with my partners, but I hated sex, and that's been a huge part of all my relationships.
And, yes, I've had "good sex" before. Just like someone who hates pie can have the best pie ever, it's still pie!
I've sworn off relationships until I can figure it out, but god knows that every romantic relationship will require sex to let my partner know that I care about them and their needs. I'm sick of compromising. Why the fuck should I need to compromise on something that I don't want or like? Plus, because I'm not into it, I'm sure my partner would want someone who puts in enthusiastic effort to the endeavor.
Don't tell me that I'll find someone. It's not comforting, and I'm still grappling with the reality of it. I'd like a partner, but it's just not feasible for someone like me.
I'm still mad that I'm like this.
That's absolutely a deer that someone had raised or tamed. They put a vest on it to prevent hunters from shooting it and/or to help drivers avoid hitting it if it wanders too close to the road.

I don't judge diabetics for needing insulin, my friend.
Congratulations!! I hope things work out for you and you find peace with your mind!
Absolutely! No one should ever go out looking for a scaleless beardie. Ever. I'm a former foster/rescue, and I was offered up one from a breeder who produced one by accident (they retired that pair immediately after). I accepted because I wanted to learn how to care for one in case I'd need the knowledge for future cases.
The amount of time & money I've spent on this idiot to keep him healthy & comfortable is ridiculous.
Love him to bits! But no one should ever get a scaleless beardie.
Yes!
I have scaleless bearded dragon. Naked reptiles are indeed real. Not always healthy, though.
That's a damn crane or heron or whatever.
It's a bird.
Big ol' box of tasty protein bars save me when this happens! I keep them around for when this inevitably happens.. which is often.
