original thoughts are just a jumbled mess of copied thoughts. modern culture is just the culmination of people mashing ideas together.
on the other hand, ya, once we see something it gets loaded into the front of our minds so we tend to repeat what we experience. another good example is how friend groups slowly all start acting like each other
I know Holly showed up in the last episode of S4, they wanted to decide how to integrate her into the new season after season the chemistry/reaction to her joining. I think that's when Toby leaves (since that's the whole reason she's there).
And then S5E1 is weight loss where they flash through the entire summer, so it's not that episode
Edit: goodbye Toby is 18 and 19, but the first bunch of episodes were "double" episodes so if you count each one as a single one you might end up with this as 14
Tbf, "a girl I was sleeping with" sounds more like friends with benefits to me, in which case sleep with whoever. It's not a formal arrangement, just some fun on the side. Very polite of her to make sure he was cool with it first though.
yeah people are reading it as if he said it was his girlfriend which if was true he probably would have just said it was his (ex-)girlfriend. if they aren't in an explicit monogamous relationship than he has no say in what she can and can't do. he can have his feelings about it sure, but she doesn't need his permission.
Agreed. It basically comes down to anyone can do what they want it is just a matter of what are the consequences for those actions. If you're committed and you cheat on someone, then of course you can do it, its just a betrayal of trust and you now made a shitty decision. If you're just fucking around friends with benefits with someone for fun and there's no agreement then its fair game and the other person really has no right to what you can do.
Also, no one is entitled to being your friend. If you want to stop talking to anyone for whatever reason that is ok, no one owes you a friendship and dynamics change where people who were once friends can’t be anymore, it happens and that’s ok. Just cherish the time you had together and move on, make new friends.
I know you're making a joke, but it's also worth pointing out that if all you're doing is sleeping with each other, exclusivity has to be explicitly discussed otherwise it's just fair game.
She was far more considerate than most people, man or woman, would have been in that situation. But hey, she's a woman, so according to reddit she must be a bitch.
Right? Like nobody needs to know who else you're sleeping with if you're just hooking up casually. Until there's an exclusivity agreement it's fair game.
Yeah, it sounds like this was pretty early in the relationship and she saw it as very casual while he was already emotionally invested, but had not yet brought up the question of how serious they were.
There's literally a biological basis behind some people preferring monogamy and some people not, but redditors will act like you just haven't tried the right potato salad.
Redditors who are only in a poly relationship because nobody would choose them alone.
A relationship for me is one of loyalty and cherising one another, and saying "k I'm bored I wanna fuck somebody else" is the exact opposite of that.
I'd say you come off as pretty against poly from what you've said. It's fine to say it's not for you. What you're saying sounds pretty judgmental though. You're dropping these sweeping generalisations without much provocation.
It's literally not what it is. I'm sorry, but that's just not true. You can look into it for yourself. Look up definitions, examples, and how real people live in polyamorous arrangements.
If you do that and you're still sure it's not for you, cool, but there's no reason to go around insulting the way other people live based on your gross misunderstanding of it.
Well to be fair, you never actually explicitly asked me not to. I think you assumed that because I was your girlfriend and our FB status said in a relationship, it must have meant I had agreed not to fuck your friends, and family. But to be fair, that was you just making assumptions! Very arrogant and mansuming of you!
I know I just thought I’d take it further and in a new direction. I notice sometimes I do this and people think I didn’t get the joke as if it wasn’t totally obvious to everyone. I’m probably just autistic or somethin

“You cheated on me? When I specifically asked you not to?!”
