my lockdown was going into work every day, not getting paid extra, not even for gas. not getting any govt money. not having any energy to sit at home and explore hobbies like middle class tech/finance ppl

it sucked. it sucked and your post makes me bitter as fuck.

it sucked. i am an extreme introvert and would have loved the time to play games, cook recipes, learn to sew, tend a garden

getting paid huge unemployment money like everyone else i knew

instead it sucked. i got less than people who already have a lot more than me

it sucked.

even so, im uncharacteristically self conscious about relationship venting because i know everyones first instinct is going to be to blame the fact that he's polyam, even though that never posed a problem for us. in my own life thats been misconstrued as the problem a *lot*, and i don't blame ppl for assuming, given the reputation

so im thankful to receive the benefit of the doubt

he was probably "joking" but well aware that statements like that act as a rallying rad for his angry and impressionable young base

plausible deniability, best of both worlds

OR

he genuinely thinks he hasnt been portraying himself as someone that stupid, and truly didnt think through the optics of joking like that

either way i dont think he actually meant it, but im sure he's happy to reap the benefit of the spotlight regardless

i know about meetup yeah. the thing is, im not trying to meet a lot of people. i dont like people. in fact i hate people. thats another reason i default to tinder, its so easy to vet ppl one by one

and it takes a RARE person for me to actually wanna be friends in person with them. this is another thing i go over in therapy, we don't think this is liable to change

thats why clicking/not clicking with this chick was such a drag too lol. never had a fromsoft friend, i was so stoked the weeks we talked

Also, if you feel like you just need a hug, or to be held, have you looked into platonic cuddling? There's sites for both professional cuddlers (that charge money) and amateur cuddlers. I tried it once a few years ago. I felt like I just needed physical contact with someone and it was very relaxing for me.
its unfortunately not something im capable of

its not so much *any* touch i need. its my partners touch

we do talk about it, and its only started bothering me a year and a half in when the long distance has become so hard due to other stressors in my life, namely work

we talk about it a lot actually. generally speaking, this has been the most communicative relationship of my life

the difficulty is due in part to the fact that i never considered myself to have physical needs. i never ever got lonely. i never ever craved companionship. but as our relationship progresses, as we visit each other more, as we plan our next steps more

i have found that for the first time in my life i am capable of feeling loneliness. and wanting a hug. its really hard to deal with since ive never had these feelings before. and theres no real way to address it in a long distance relationship

argh

Could it be that you don't actually want to be poly? That could be why you don't want physicality with someone else and also could be why you there is a roadblock with your partner. I could see that you want to be the kind of person who is poly based on your overall lifestyle and worldview but maybe you aren't actually built that way.
im not polyam, i consider myself monogamous

the extent to which i engage with the polyam community is reading books and asking questions, trying to gain insight and be supportive. i have no desire to practice it myself

regarding my partner having other partners and relationships, i feel no jealousy. i dont feel that it comes at the expense of our own relationship. i just do this thing where i compare myself with him, and i think "man it would be so easy for me right now if i was capable of doing that too"

its not even that i want to be able to date other people. its more like "man, i can turn on easy mode anytime but i just dont. because its not for me"

its difficult to explain

So, what was the goal in meeting someone on tinder? Just to see if you could manage it? She probably ghosted because she expected some kind of hookup out of a tinder match. Nothing wrong with it, just... expect that kind of reaction again if you meet someone else on there. There's quite a few "I'm not looking for a hookup" people that end up hooking up.

But yeah, it sounds like you should try and take some time off from work like your therapist is suggesting. Would they let you do that right now, while you're on a break from your partner?
tinder is really the only place i know how to make friends, but yes i run into the problem you outlined here. i used to not have a problem casually sleeping around (years ago, plus i was single) and made a lot of friends that started as hookups

i do need that break from work its just really hard taking that step. our department is bleeding members left and right and its only getting busier. i understand thats on my employer for understaffing us, but i dont wanna deal with the interpersonal drama that could arise from me disappearing for a month

i do think if work was eliminated id be able to tolerate the distance between me and my partner, fwiw

Who we are is an ever evolving thing, so there are times one can need to break the norm and reevaluate things as change is how we grow as a person.

Sadly (and not saying this is you btw), but sadly many people these days seem to like to label themselves and think that is who they are, and have always been, and will always be, but in truth who they are, and were has always been so many different things that simple labels cant define in whole. And who they will be is still yet to be determined as we are not all simple stagnant beings, we are complex creatures, with complex emotions whose lives and outlooks on it can change from moment to moment.

Sure some labels can stick for life, but they still dont define the whole individual just parts of a vast amalgamation that makes up the whole know as oneself, or in this case you, so dont feel bad about this, and take some time to find yourself again, and remember the journey of self discovery or finding oneself is a never ending one.

Hopefully in my probably inane rambling my message is understandable, and I didnt lose focus on the topic, and I hope I said something of value instead of just insane babbling about tacos or something. I apologize either way just Incase, and viva la tacos!!!
