#Modern relationships

this is why prenups are important because you have to leave her. she's not an adult. she's a child in an adult body who wants this guy to just be a walking, talking atm machine with a dick. she's clearly contributing nothing but wants him to work himself to death so that she can have a social media worthy life. this is why men need to continue asking "what does she bring to the table?" or they will find themselves in this situation.

"Primary"

A "main" partner to whom you are more committed than other people you see

Many people dislike this term as they believe hierarchical relationships are inherently unfair. But for others, it clarifies to potential partners how much time and energy they have for them. 

This term is often used by couples who have opened up to polyamory together. When you share things with one partner, such as home ownership or childrearing, they will often, by necessity, have to take priority over others.

Breadcrumbs

Do you not feel weary, worn thin by the tides of life?

Used, like a well-read book with dog-eared pages, its spine creased from countless hands that sought solace within its chapters?

Hurt, as if your heart bears the weight of ancient stones, each one etched with memories of joy and sorrow?

Or even remorse, a haunting echo of choices made, the paths taken and those left behind?

Perhaps the most profound love you'll ever know is the love you give, freely and unreservedly.

In the tender moments when you extend your hand, offering warmth to a stranger on a cold day.

Or when you listen, truly listen, to a friend's troubles, your heart a sanctuary for their pain.

Time and time again, you give, like a river flowing ceaselessly, nourishing the soil of human connection.

Just as you falter and stumble upon the uneven ground, it's as if all this time you've been following a trail of breadcrumbs —

Tiny morsels of affection you call "love”.

one thing I miss about dating is looking up a person's birth chart and seeing the ways we are compatible.

A very sweet McStarr!

Taking place in 2024, the two sole surviving Beatles return to the band's old retreat for their queer affairs together.

The place is a flood of memories, a time and love, long passed!!!

Is Polyamory Truly a Form of Enlightenment?

Polyamory and non-monogamy are often touted as paths to emotional freedom and enlightenment, but is that really the case? The idea that being non-monogamous automatically makes someone more evolved or enlightened is flawed. Non-monogamy can certainly be a gateway to breaking toxic patterns or learning new ways to communicate, but it’s not a magic solution to the human condition. People in…

(via Karwa Chauth Fasting: Cultural Continuity or Patriarchal Ritual?)  Karwa Chauth fasting continues to hold significance today, representing more than just a traditional ritual. It’s a mindful expression of love, devotion, and cultural continuity, offering couples a chance to reflect, grow, and reinterpret traditions in modern ways.

Un amore moderno, un amore fatto di pieni e vuoti, picchi e burroni.

Un amore che redime il cemento ma solo effimeramente. Un amore che fatica nel tempo.

Avete mai esperito un amore neo liberale?

a man on Facebook (yeah I know) told me I'm a loser because I don't want to date broke losers after dating so many of them in my 20s who fleeced me out of my money.

it was like he didn't want to listen to my explanation or how the broke losers just wanted to use me. he was so committed to standing up for broke losers everywhere.

I don't even want someone to dump a whole lot of money on me or take me to expensive dates. I just want someone who listens to me and understands my wants & desires in a relationship.

but he, and so many men on there, were taking it weirdly personal that I won't date some broke loser who will fleece me. some of these dudes were in relationships or married, but had so much vitriol for a random woman on the Internet stating her dating preferences.

Building a bond with your fiancé during the courtship period requires effort, understanding, and commitment. This period, often filled with excitement and anticipation, provides a valuable opportunity to deepen your connection and understand each other better.

All of the temptations in one body, all of the sensations to one mind.

Why?

Why do we chase after love, wasting our time on trivial pursuits and superficial connections? Why do we endure heartbreak and disappointment, only to start the process again? Why is it so hard to find true love and acceptance?

What is the point of it all, when love is so difficult to find? Don't we deserve to be loved unconditionally and without judgment?

Love in the modern world is a beautiful yet uncertain dance.

We are blinded by superficiality and fleeting connections, forgetting the true value and beauty of unconditional love and intimacy.

We are trapped in a neverending game, chasing a distant dream and forgetting that true love is worth the wait.

We can easily lose sight of the beauty that is truly out there, trapped in this cycle of superficiality, heartbreak, and disappointment. But with patience and perseverance, we can find true love, find joy in the little moments and find real connection.

We chase love because we still believe — no matter how many heartbreaks and disappointments — that one day we will find our person, and that everything it took was worth it.

The truth is, as humans our biggest flaw is our inability to lose hope.

And despite everything, we never lose hope in love.
