Look, I’m gonna stop here. I’ve already said everything I had to say. Despite our disagreements I hope you’re out there living your best life, and if not then I hope you can find a way to get there. Goodbye and good luck! July 01, 2020 at 11:52PM

/u/Lear1987 on Anyone know of any allosexual identities, or can help me find the name of a specific one?

... I've honestly never heard of an orientation like that. Not to be flippant, but I thought that was pretty normal for allos. To be fair even allosexual isn't really an identity anyone uses. It's probably why you're having issues finding anything. Allo is simply not asexual or aromantic depending on context. You might have more luck with the various LGBT boards if you're LGBTQ+ or maybe a relationship advice board if you're straight (honestly I'm guessing for the straight one). Closest I've ever heard of is demiromantic, but it doesn't require a sexual attraction but rather an emotional bond first before a romantic one can form. July 01, 2020 at 11:48PM

I mean... Sure, but regardless of WHY they are helping, they ARE helping the cause. I get it you might say it's not moral to do something for the wrong reasons, but if in a pragmatic sense, they further the cause let them be in the title if it matters so much to them! It's a deontology vs utalitarianism argument, I know, but politics are mostly utalitarian, so let them be anywhere in the initialism they want to be, as long as they're supporting its values.

/u/A_Queer_Feral on Real "allies" wouldn't try to erase us

Because letting them in is harmful and defeats the purpose of even having the community in the first place. We can celebrate with them and even honour them, without having them as members. It's our community to feel safe, away from cis-hets, and even though allies are here for us, it's not their place to be included. It's insanely offensive to everyone to even suggest letting them in. I'm autistic, and I love it when people fight for me and my rights, when they stand up against assholes and try to educate people. That does not mean they're apart of the autism community July 01, 2020 at 11:42PM

/u/izzytriana on Real "allies" wouldn't try to erase us

I completely agree. I’ve been an ally basically all my life, and it wasn’t until recently that I discovered I was demisexual. The whole point of of being an ally is helping advance queer rights because it is simply the right thing to do. Erasing an entire sexuality and replacing it with ally defeats the entire purpose of raising awareness, providing support, and normalizing all types of sexuality and gender. July 01, 2020 at 11:42PM

Again, it’s not that I don’t understand. I do. I just don’t think it’s that big a deal to have allies as honorary members. You can think your thing and I can think my thing and both have the interests of the lgbt community at heart so does it even matter? July 01, 2020 at 11:36PM

Thank you so much for explaining! I'm trying to be as much of an ally as I can so I really appreciate the information! July 01, 2020 at 11:36PM

This is a response to a post in a dating sub about taking dance classes as a way to meet people.

"There is no back door into the relationship you want, so take the front door..."

I read that quote somewhere today while I spiraled in and out of some anxiety but it really resonated with me. My situationship of one year is coming to a fork in the road and I'm ready to take the front door. I(31F) met someone about a year ago, was pretty freshly separated and still living with my ex husband at the time. Also, at the time, I wasn't in a place to be dating more than casually, a way to have fun and an easy self-esteem boost if you will. Fast forward through many ups and downs on the slow road and here we are. He has been able to give me what I want everytime I have asked for more but this time is different because if he can't do it I am walking away. Last night we watched an episode of hot girls wanted called Love Me Tinder and it triggered me bad. I was so irritated by the whole thing and quickly identified why it bothered me so much. It made my lines feel blurred and I need to set some clearer boundaries which I imagine to be a bit of a choose your own...

Having a tough time getting past my gf lying about her most recent ex a couples times early in our relationship.

My gf and I had a couple very open and loose discussions about our past exes and hookups where we were both laughing and commiserating together. He was never mentioned but I figured whatever no ones entitled to know anything the other doesn't want to share. Very early on she told me she's never dated anyone she worked with but Literally two days later I walk into her room for the first time and there's still pictures of them hanging on her wall. She comes clean and just says she didn't want me knowing they were dating? I was a little taken back but no one's perfect so I looked past it. Then a couple weeks later I found out they're still not only texting, but she said they got into a fight. After I saw pictures of them still hanging up I asked if they are still talking and she said she cut him off months ago and she hasn't heard from him since, which obviously was a lie. I dont want to be vain or conceited, but this guy is 15 years older than her and not re...

Dog Sitting for Ex Boyfriend

My (37/M) girlfriend (25/F) of 6 months things are going great and I think I may love her. However, she is still friends with a few of her ex's. One of them lives in town and I'm sure they communicate often. We actually ran into him on our first date and she introduced him as her friend. I later found out through Instagram he was her ex. He comes up from time to time but she doesn't really talk about him much. I don't ask about him. She texts me the other day and tells me she's getting a dog named Charley to babysit for 4 days next week. It's her ex boyfriends dog. I'm not really cool with it and it's actually caused me too loose some attraction to her. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it but I'm not super thrilled. I haven't talked to her about it but I'm thinking I need to set some clear boundaries here or just bounce. She's a great girl and I don't think she'll cheat but I don't think this is good for my...
