Would no basement be a dealbreaker for you with heated concrete floors on slab? Thinking of building the new construction two story of our dreams with an attached cottage for my mother to age in place that we could later use for secondary income. I know the basement is a classic Midwest essential, but I have been done wrong by mold and moisture one too many times; causing me to no longer desire one. Using high quality materials for my family’s health, but also wondering does this sort of house have resale value? Planning for a three car garage and storage shed if your only worry would be storage

Eta: okay good input folks. Would a 3.5 car garage with storm shelter underneath be satisfactory for the tornado enthusiasts and storage freaks? We also have too much stuff, I’d just rather have it in an outbuilding than a basement.

I’m so done with their energy, but it’s addicting at the same time and that’s probably just a mirror. The situation was so incompatible. Neither of us fit well into the other’s life as is and it was all sort of a horny creative fantasy. They were fully right about the breakup, lowkey said some crazy, hurtful and emotional shit though. lots of constructive criticism too I guess, but it’s been mixed signals town and weirdness since. I had to tell them to fuck off for a few weeks again recently and it’s like we’re just taking turns being the avoidant now.

The sex daydreams have not stopped and it’s been a over a month how do I break this curse (my Pisces moon+this chaotic person who I don’t even think I like as a friend after all they put me through)

Trigger warning non-consent

I feel like I need therapy after this. I sometimes will have the most vivid horny dream before waking. Usually when ovulating or excited about dating someone new, normal stuff.

Well, the person I’ve been dating for a few months (Aspen) is phenomenal, but really going through some drama with a friend (Birch) of theirs lately and I’ve been hearing about it. I’ve met this person a few times and the second occasion they truly were a little off the rails. Some conversation about Birch’s previous erratic behavior came up when Aspen was venting about Birch to me last night so I understand how my subconscious placed this person in the dream, just everything about the way it happened felt so wrong. They were touching me non consensually, in public, while Aspen, Birch’s date, and our friends had stepped away for something. Everything felt good in the moment like extremely pleasurable because I’m kinky, but when I realized what happened upon waking I was super yucked out.

It’s been an hour and a half and I still want to throw up. I vented to my primary partner (DouglasFir) about it earlier (which, yes bad hinging, but waking up moaning to that, then bumping into a whole nother person in the bed when DouglasFir frequently sleeps in the other room was.. a lot) I don’t feel like I should tell Aspen about the dream because they’re already overwhelmed with this Birch being problematic, but I am deeply unsettled.

I’m starting to make sense of it now that the public sexual advance and all the boundaries broken in the dream can probably symbolize the way Aspen’s friends have recently not been respectful of other boundaries in our lives as Birch and the person I’ve seen them out with definitely feel to be chaotic and largely stressful people in Aspen’s life and even to me recently. Any additional input to help me get through this?

Being polyamorous as a parent is.. without a doubt more complicated as well as unavoidably hierarchical and when someone is home with the kids while the person they consider to be their life partner is out on a date, I can see how that would be challenging. How are we dealing with it? Besides considerate transparency and communication of course.

I got into dating again after taking a some time off, but my partner isn’t currently dating anyone so I need tips for balancing that wish I could be touching this person all the time NRE energy with making sure my nesting partner feels loved and appreciated. I’m figuring it out, but would love to hear about all the little things you like to do for your someone special at home!

Does anyone else’s loved one report going on trips to far away familiar places or visiting loved ones past when asked how they slept while tired the next day? Is it confabulation, hallucination, or dreams?

Cliff and Ilya were just bro-ing out and drinking beer when Cliff decided he needed to know more about Jane. He texted, kept in touch better than Ilya ever did, was unexpectedly clever despite not figuring it out when he caught Ilya waiting outside the hospital or when they went up together and drugged Shane dropped hilarious hints, ends up figuring it out from an explicit text over Ilya’s car play, becomes friends with Shane too and doesn’t tell him he knows because he’d be mortified…. I need the rest of this crack. I fell asleep reading and lost the fic

Eta: it is long and I believe a WiP, I remember author mentioned it was starting to get closer to a conclusion which I am now desperate for
