    an important part of evaluating fluidity is determining the properties of the flow

    for example, whether it is lamellar or turbulent

    the Reynolds number is an important parameter that helps us evaluate where on the lamellar-turbulent scale a particular flow falls, and is calculated thusly:

    R = p * v * L / u where R is the Reynolds number, p is the fluid density, v is the fluid velocity, L is the characteristic length and u is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid

    Also most people never sit down and define monogamy, boundaries, etc, so it's kind of... well, fluid isn't quite the right word, but like, amorphous and unpredictable?

    Like, fuck, even I haven't done that, instead settling for roughly what Spool's saying and trusting that I have enough of a handle on who Querry is that our definition borders match up fuzzily but well enough that no one's gonna destroy the other

    Most people don't even do that

    it's true

    it's almost like lawmaking by court ruling

    issues come up as they come up, and that sets precedent, and that precedent is what is considered the rules going forward

    until an issue comes up, the rules are whatever each partner thinks the other partner thinks it is

    To be clear, we DID sit down and define monogamy and cheating and basically came to the conclusion that kissing others isn't ok, cuddling others is if it's someone the other's aware of, but in general given we are similar people with similar thoughts and backgrounds, don't do anything we might feel guilty for and tell the other ASAP if we do is an ok cheating test

    Ok ACTUALLY going to PP now

    Is their a difference between emotional cheating and your partner having a complicated part of their emotional life that's separate from you?

    i dont even know what this means without context

    but generally i would say that if you are physically and emotionally intimate, compartmentalizing a certain aspect of your life from your partner is emotional cheating by way of omission

    but everyone, or almost everyone, does this to a degree

    100% honesty all the time sounds like a disaster if you're with someone for a long time

    I don't lie about things but there are many things I will not mention unless my partner directly asks about it (unless it's something like, I suddenly racked up credit card debt, have a drug addiction or cheated that stuff comes out)

    Idk I feel like compartmentalizing is vital in many cases

    I disagree and don't operate my relationship like that.

    There are plenty of times when I just don't mention something because it's inconsequential or irrelevant, but if I ever feel like I probably shouldn't tell Belasco something, I immediately go and tell her.

    But do you always agree on what is inconsequential and irrelevant?

    You're still making a judgment call there.

    a super funny thing that happens with my wife is patients flirt with her at work constantly

    when that starts to become less playful flirting and more like, he's making a semi-serious move or testing the waters, she will "my husband" a conversation

    if he... uh... keeps going after that? like tosses her his number or asks for hers or whatever after that?

    he's a complete write-off to her, like he's lost all charm. prior to that, if he bails out, she might actually speak well of him and consider his flirting endearing

    but if she openly points out she's married and he goes for the punt anyway, fuck that guy

    you will note, class, that the Reynolds number is a dimensionless constant

    therefore it may be helpful to track your units through your calculations to ensure they properly cancel, otherwise you might improperly conclude a turbulent flow is lamellar and wouldn't that be a messy situation!

    Is their a difference between emotional cheating and your partner having a complicated part of their emotional life that's separate from you?

    i guess the definition is kind of fluid. some people say like, anything that, if your partner knew about it, would make them uncomfortable. but some people are incredibly sensitive and jealous and would regard any conversation in private with the opposite sex as inappropriate. i think that's kind of silly. something i heard that i thought was a pretty reasonable definition is if your behavior with another person draws away from your behavior with your partner. so like, if you don't feel sexy- you think your partner doesn't communicate desire to you or whatever- so you get that effect from someone else, by flirting.

    i guess that doesn't exactly gel with polyamory but for monogamous relationships it seems p close to me. if you're not contributing all the thoughts and actions you would in a happy relationship because you're siphoning off some of that validation or closeness or whatever to another person, that seems p bad.

    i think trying to define cheating so empirically isn't really going to work as it really depends on the sort of implied relationship agreement between two (or more) individuals

    right, like i said it's very fluid. all anyone can attempt to do is make a best-fit guess at it for most people.

    I disagree utterly. It's not fluid - here's Scalzi on this issue, and he is correct:
    Scenario: You’ve just done something physically and/or emotionally intimate with another consenting adult human being who is not your spouse/partner.

    So, gonna tell your partner?

    a) Yes.

    b) Any other response.

    If the answer is “b,” then there’s a really excellent chance you’re cheating.

    could be a and you were still cheating though

    or b and you weren't

    or you and your partner could not 100% agree on what counts as physically or emotionally intimate

    it's fraught with peril!

    he goes on:
    Cheating is allowing another person into a level of intimacy your partner expects to be theirs alone. That level of intimacy is not uniform from person to person. There is no guarantee that your partner’s expected level of intimacy will be entirely congenial to you; in that respect what qualifies as “cheating” is not up to you.

    Most people get that. Most people also don’t want to hurt their partner and/or don’t want to get caught doing something they know their partner will consider cheating. Which is why any other response than an unqualified “yes” to telling your partner about an intimate encounter with another consenting adult human being is a good first indicator you’ve just done yourself some cheating.

    http://whatever.scalzi.com/2011/06/08/how-to-know-if-youre-cheating/

    okay so yeah i agree to that but it almost literally defines it as fluid

    within the boundaries of the relationship, I don't see any fluidity here at all.

    that's not the disagreement. if people agree upon boundaries, then those can be relatively static. we're saying those boundaries are fluid across other relationships.

    'did i do something wrong' in the micro sense is probably easily answered. there isn't much fluidity there. the point is that the high water mark of wrongness is fluid between different people, so you saying to your friend 'you did x? that's cheating!' doesn't make sense

    oh, yeah I agree with this. I don't get to say whether you cheated unless we're the ones in the relationship.

    And by that I mean that I know what you did, you're a cheating sonovabitch, and you're never getting another taste of this so you might as well unfriend me coz it's over
