So your partner is clear they want something that you are not. Okay, so they didn't say they want that thing and NOT you, but worse! They want to fulfill something that is entirely about them and doesn't seem to be centered around your needs or what you were hoping was going to happen. What the frack do you do now? 🤔🤔🤔

Join Ashe and Jessamyn as we explain our way out of the paper bag of confusion surrounding what could happen when your life, and your partnership, is not going the way you want (and we are not talking about choosing the wrong dinner spot). Can you locate the things in yourself that you are holding back because you are scared your partner won't like it? Are you secretly wishing those things would just go away? Are you being hard on what they are telling you because you think that loving someone and wanting to own them are mostly the same thing? Is polyamory scary because it is actually what you secretly want but are scared to do it wrong? 🧩🧩🧩

In this What’s New In Paradise? episode, Jessamyn and Ashe talk about boundaries and more things they’ve learned on the road.

"How can I possibly be okay with my boyfriend wanting a threesome when I'm not interested and I wish he wasn't too?" Should our question-asker:   

A) try the threesome again, see what she thinks and then decide
   
B) trust her gut, tell him to kick rocks, encourage him to just go for it with his co-worker Amber, spend some time alone thinking about what she wants, and masturbate
     
C) Stick it out, stay with him and come up with a compromise that will work for everyone
   
D) Break up with him and ask Amber out on a date without him
   
E) Decide nothing and dream of a day when her self-worth is not tied up in her partner's sexual attraction
       
F) prioritize herself, smoke some weed, chill out, take a bath, think about the things she needs in life to feel well, read a book, journal, communicate with her partner, try some new things, reconnect with herself, do yoga on The Underbelly, and engage with her pleasure in small ways all the time.
   
Tell us what you think after the show! 🤔🤔🤔
   
Jessamyn thinks that there is no way to meet someone that you might want to spend the rest of your monogamous life with by age 30, and Ashe tends to agree. Jessamyn also is really good at White People Mad Libs, defines "Diet Desire" as wanting something but not being direct and settling for less than the thing you really wanted, and admits to thinking that threesomes are generally more trouble than they are worth. Substitute Ashe's name for Jessamyn's back there and we would be knee-deep in a game of Two Truths and A Lie. 🍎🍎🍊
