Does anyone else find their partner’s New Relationship Energy really difficult to deal with?

I love Nestie so much, but they do throw themselves into new romantic relationships at speed and with 110% commitment and it always leaves me feeling a little left behind.

This time next week I'll be 24 hours away from snogging Greg.

I put together a bed side table for the other side of my bed, because Greg's visiting in a few weeks.

I got to put together some things in the drawer for him today:
Lip balm
Hair ties
Deodorant
Tissues
Paracetamol
Lube
USB-C cables
UK/Australia socket
Paper and pens
Wipes
Fan
Little bowl to put his ring in while he's sleeping

It feels less lonely to have little bits around the house for when he's here.

Usually #visibility campaigns and #polyamory are somehow represented somewhere on the fediverse but I'm not finding this one:

Week of visibility for #nonmonogamy
https://www.weekofvisibility.com/

"A global celebration of non-monogamous communities, identities, and values!
July 6-12, 2026"

Your thoughts?

I rattled this off last night pissed off, but if anyone has insight, please share.

Now THIS is the kind of moral outrage around sexuality I can actually get behind! :D

Greg and I usually never argue, and have maybe 5 or 6 arguments in the 8 years we've been dating (15 years we've known each other).

Over the past week we've had 3 arguments. We're fine, it's just one thing we're working through.

But this post isn't about that. This post is about the realisation that every time we argue I get a headache and constipated for like 2 days after.

My body literally does NOT cope when we argue. It's perfectly happy to fight with any other motherfucker that annoys me, though.

In-which I do go on about the surprise benefits of "monogamy cosplay" and sustained one-on-one time with a given partner.
