How did you move on?

I 30F am currently in a relationship with 43M. I personally am mono while they are poly. Our relationship feels like a cycle of them just never wanting to put in deep emotional work I require. I feel like I keep falling into similar cycles in the past with people who weren’t poly at the time, but did become poly. How do I avoid these men? They’re charming and funny. I want to break out of this loop. 😭

Open to Suggestions

Hello,

I’m 29F and currently 6 weeks post op from a mircodiscetomy at my L5-S1, which 1.5 cm removed. I am experiencing a lot of tightness in my calves and a lot of ankle weakness that I DID NOT have prior to surgery. Unfortunately I can’t be seen for PT for another two weeks. Any tips for the meantime?

I’m so vexed by my lack of progress.

Friend Seeking

30F in Shadyside looking for more local friends 🍸✨

Would love to meet some fellow Pittsburgh girls who are into thrifting, antiques, flea markets, cute neighborhood spots, a good dinner, and an even better cocktail. I’m childfree, work keeps me pretty busy, and most of my current circle has moved far away, so I figured I’d put myself out there and see who’s around.

Ideally looking for the kind of friend who wants to browse an antique store for way too long, romanticize a thrift find, split appetizers somewhere cute, and end the night with a stiff drink and a little gossip.

Breaking my Heart

I’m 30F and my partner is 43M. We have been together nearly three years, but their poly lifestyle is really hurting me. I’m convinced they’re too set in their ways to stop and they I’ll never be enough for them. I just can’t stop getting hurt and being second fiddle despite being their “Primary”. It’s like they’re embarrassed of me and try to hide me. Has anyone been there?

I think they just don’t have it in them to commit and I deserve someone who fully appreciates me. 😞

How much longer?

Hello All,

I’m now 11 days post op from my microdiscetomy and laminectomy. As you can see my case was fairly extreme. I’m getting very vexed by the lack of sensation in my groin area and feet. Yes, I can still urinate, etc. So please don’t ask 😮‍💨

How long until you regained sensation and the pins and needles stopped? 😭

Six Days Post Op

Hello,

I’m 29F who is six days post op from a microdisectomy and laminectomy. I’ve been feeling so discouraged and trapped. My surgeon made it sound like I’d just resume life minus and lifting, but instead I have no feeling from the waist down. Friday was my first day being able to stand on my own and yesterday I took 2000 steps. I’m just feeling like I’m at the mercy of my own body and that I was given false hope.

Any advice or stories are welcomed. 😔

Admittedly I’ve had my drinking under control for about three years now, which feels big in the grand scheme of things, but maybe not? I’ve never been to a real meeting, although I probably should go.

Lately I’ve been feeling a strong urge to drink. I turn thirty very soon and I just feel like I have nothing to really show for and I’m so ashamed and embarrassed. No real savings, piles of debt, a “situationship”, a job that’s burning me out.

I just could use some advice and words of encouragement from those battling this much longer than myself. I don’t want to slip back to where I was. 😮‍💨
