I was made to hang out with my partner's friend's new boyfriend
The only thing I knew about him was that he works in construction, because his work shirt said as much haha. I had no idea how to relate to the guy. Or even start a conversation.
Man do I say? I haven't watched sports in forever and that normally always works. I wonder if he has kids. I can jokingly talk shit about my kids all day, but if I start with that he'll think I'm fucking crazy!
Is he not drinking bud light because of politics or because the yeungling was at the top of the ice chest? He looks like he works out- should I ask him about it? Fuck, I don't know shit about gyms. How do I follow that up?
Damnit I hate parties. Is he thinking the exact same thing as me? All my partner's friend's partners are country boys and this always happens. Why is this so hard? A third of my friends are country as fuck
"So, you listen to music?"
Fuck I'm an idiot
15 minutes of the awkward silence that comes from a dash of regular anxiety and a heap of how-masculine-do-I-need-to-be-right-now-to-relate-to-a-new-human-male.
Sorry if this isn't appropriate for this sub but I like the concept and want to see more engagement and also this just happened.
You're viewing a single thread.
I read that as "my partner's new boyfriend" and was trying to adjust to that thought.
Nope, ain't gonna happen.
I hung out with my wife's new boyfriend at the pool just the other day, a good chunk of the polycule was there.
Is there a community/instance here for poly people? I haven't seen one yet
I haven't run into one yet but if I do I'll try to remember to come back and reply here for you!
It looks like there is a /c/polyamory on lemmy.world but it doesn't appear very active.
Oh, thank you!!
Haha I read it as "I was made to hang out" with him, as in "I was made for this, my favorite activity with my new bestie".
