That Awkward Moment

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

No, that's swinging.

Only if I don’t risk becoming part of your polyamory

Oh yeah! I forgot she actually said it online as well. Oh but no, it never happened and I'm a liar.
Hopefully now she actually well and truly leaves me the fuck alone.

Roz, you seem to be coming across as the big bully tough girl. Do you think that it could be possible that you might be confused, rather than you are right (all the time).
Usually I just bite my tongue and say nothing, but I can assure you that you are not right all the time.

Violet said that when she met you at Larrys, 'we parted on good terms after our brief hello'.

The "Only if I don’t risk becoming part of your polyamory" was posted online, and was probably made in jest as you had both met in real life previously.

Following the to's and fro's of your discussions online with Violet in recent months, it would appear that you are the aggressor. And, always right.

And you wonder why more women don't join the forum.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamo ... =Polyamory
To me, it's the capability to love more than one person at a time.
In my opinion, it is very unrealistic to expect one person to be your absolute everything.

What if I don't like going to movies? Does that mean you can never go and see a movie??
NO! It means you can enjoy a movie with someone else and then come home and tell me all about it.

What if I don't like shopping? Does that mean you can never enjoy shopping with a partner again?
NO! It means you can enjoy the shopping experience with someone else and bring me back something cute.

If I love someone, I never want them to feel trapped. I want them to feel empowered and free.
I offer what I have to give and if that's not enough, they are welcome to go and find those "missing pieces" elsewhere. Or even if it is enough, don't ever close off your heart to love. Why would you?? There's enough love to go around for everyone.

I don't see jealousy as a positive emotion - it's destructive and completely unfun.
If I love someone and I see them having fun, even if it's not with me, it makes me feel warm inside to know that they are happy, even if I am not the one making them smile in that exact moment.

That's what polyamory means to me.

Whatever polyamory means to you it depends on a variety of factors, including the individual circumstances and needs of the people involved, as well as the dynamics of the relationships. Like any relationship style, polyamory can work well for some people and not as well for others.

There are some challenges that may arise in polyamorous relationships, such as managing time and energy among multiple partners, communicating effectively with all partners, and dealing with jealousy and other emotions. However, with strong communication, trust, and commitment, it is possible for polyamorous relationships to be sustainable and fulfilling for all parties involved.

Ultimately, the sustainability of any relationship style, including polyamory, depends on the individual needs and desires of the people involved and the ability to meet those needs in a healthy and supportive way. It is important for people to consider their own values and needs and to communicate openly and honestly with their partners about what they are looking for in a relationship.

Polyamory is just having multiple fuck buddies. No need for a wall of text to describe it. Doesn’t sound that worthy of discussion either, maybe it sounds more interesting to people when it’s labeled polyamory instead of just fucking multiple people.

I'd not be able to sexualy share someone I had any kind of emotional attachment to. Cucks dress it up as just wanting to see her happy in ways he can't manage himself. I just think it's odd.
On the other hand if you know that someone has multiple partners and it's just a bit of fun..a bar girl for example. And you are mature enough to keep the emotions at arm's length then it's all fine as long as nobody gets hurt.

Every female expat I have met or worked with in 25 years of living in SE Asia has been totally nuts.

I remember my first year in Cambodia a long term male expat said I was the most normal expat he’d met in Cambodia. I didn’t know whether to be insulted or not.

I became a little unhinged (relatively speaking) a few months later 😐
It wasn’t until much later that I really found my peculiar stride. I’m back to ‘normal’ these days
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
