ahhhh yes, the "mid-week-meltdown, when the emotions go on sensory overlaod, AND, then ya add other conditions such as coupleness, and etc, and ya get a double whammy, the way we, as a poly couple try to avoid such things is is to be mindful of one another and be considerate and respectful, just as we do any other time, just ramp it up.

if we're feeling cranky, we drink more water, or powerade, Take a nap, take a walk, read a book, visit with friends or make a new friend,

we remember to say, "I'm sorry" even if we don't necessarily feel it's our "fault" and we place ourselves in a "selt reliant" positions, ie, "I am responsible for MY feelings, no one but ME ca make me feel anything I don't accept, take on or wanna feel"

and, we make sure to find some special time just for "us" outside any other persons or intrusions, a walk together, a visit,, a chat, even if its only to the blue rooms,

being mindful and helpful of one another helps to take the sting out of any potential fray.

and dont forget. JUST BREATHE!!

a hug, a smike, a kiss, even if just a peck can soothe a savage beast or breast :)

Oh I learned a new poly related playa tip the hard way this year..... when having your girlfriend house sit for the two of you DO NOT come straight home and have her there... give your self a day to decompress because your non-burner GF will not understand the ensuing emotional meltdown.
Sigh BIG MISTAKE on my part. Trying to mend things with our girl... sigh
