Thought of the day

[kiya]

(From conversation with artan_eter.)

Having a partner in grad school is like being in a poly situation in which one is a) mandated as a secondary partner and b) the primary partner is a demanding, autocratic drama queen in a perpetual state of crisis meltdown.

Yes.

In 2006, my first successful (other than primary) poly relationship was with a young woman working on a masters' at an Ivy.

She often referred to the main subject of her thesis as an abusive psychopathic primary.

So I bought her a stuffed animal and gave it that person's name, in a diminutive form.

Pugachev became Pug.
