👀 Just because a couple says they’re ready to swing doesn’t mean they are…

Before the pineapple goes upside down, make sure the foundation is solid.
Here are 8 signs your friends (or you 👀) might need to hit pause and check in before playing.

Building legos and watching Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee, while Greg is cooking me dinner... best life!

The view from my sofa, showing my TV and the lego. I have pretty lights behind the TV throwing colours onto the wall, and my monstera plant in the corner. The TV is showing the spelling bee show.

My Relationship Menu app now finally supports filtering items by search! You can join the beta here: testflight.apple.com/join/4drm

I would love to add a mode that allows filtering by mode but I haven't figured out how I can add a button after the search field yet in #SwiftUI unfortunately.

Screenshot the relationship menu app interface showing a new search bar at the top, allowing users to filter items. The user has typed “Commun”. A segment control allows choosing the search scope to items, categories or both.

The current cultural drive towards #nonmonogamy feels to me like gay conversion therapy. I feel somehow inadequate, defective and inferior by not wanting it, and under pressure to convert.

Screenshot of the "Relationship Menu" app showing three screens. The first screen introduces the app with the tagline "Design your connections" and sections like "Beyond Expectations" and "Explore & Create Together". The second screen prompts the user to "Create Your First Menu" with options to start a new menu or view an example. The third screen, titled "Resources", highlights learning materials and key principles such as "Conscious co-creation", "Flexibility over time", and "Regular check-ins". The interface features a dark theme with soft gradients and colorful icons.

I was going to post something the other day about how I had a submissive until about 10 months ago, when we stopped our dynamic.

He is married and his wife had asked him to stop his kink stuff for a time to refocus his energy and time in his marriage and family. He and I had talked when we first started with our thing, and we're very open about how his relationship with his family, and my relationship with Greg, were our priorities and that was how we wanted it. I don't usually do hierarchical relationships, but this suited everyone involved and was a deliberate decision... whereas my issue with hierarchy is that it's often not through deliberate choice, but is just followed because that's "the way it's meant to be".

For some reason the last couple of weeks I'd started thinking about him a fair bit. I had a couple of dreams that he was in, and when I sat down and had a real think about why I was thinking about him I realised it was because I was missing him.

Then, yesterday.. out of the blue, he messaged me on Fetlife. He's reactivated his account, we're chatting again. Things with his wife and family are great and they've agreed that he can go explore his kink side again.

Sometimes the universe is an interesting place.

Your partner being interested in learning more or even exploring #nonmonogamy is not a sign your relationship is in trouble. Because even just considering the idea can lead to better relationships (whether or not you actually try it).

Here are 10 things I learned ♥️

"People in non-monogamous relationships are as happy as monogamous couples, but…

... there's a serious catch."

The "serious catch" is society mononormatvity. Society likes to look down, and discriminate against people who live under a consensual non-monogamy arrangement.
