Jungle – you’re still the best. For as out-of-it you claim to be relationship-wise you speak very wisely. Very blunt, but very wise. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif Thank you!
Gsylass – It sounds like you have a good arrangement worked out with your husband. I post videos for the feedback and such, too, and I think since starting this post my husband has come to realize that as well. So hopefully we’ve begun the process of smoothing this out… Thanks!
untamedshrew – I’m glad you’ve started to work things out with your husband! That’s great! I can’t wait to see some vids!

Oooo that link works now??? It didn’t used to do anything for a while… Cool, thanks! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Ditto to what Sascha said, that’s been rather irritating for me as well… Whenever I want to drool I have to find it in the forums.

No, changing the file name extension won’t do anything, it just makes the file unusable. I’ve tried https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

You’re getting a lot of good advice from the other girls, but I got so upset in reading this I had to add my 2 cents.
This is exactly how relationships with other people start, and I know first hand – and not from the good side. I’ve had serious relationships with the few guys I’ve been with but I ended up finding a good friend in another guy and fell for them. Almost exactly the same picture your b/f is painting with this woman.
And even if it’s not going quite that far in that direction, no matter how you cut it this relationship is inappropriate like the other girls are saying. If the woman can’t pay for the work in cash, then she shouldn’t be trying to make up for it by being all buddy-buddy with him. Casual friends may be acceptable, but that still doesn’t include text messages at all hours of the night and early morning.
But this needs to be resolved, now. Harboring these feelings only builds resentment whether you realize it or not. And if in the event he is having doubts, if you keep these feelings to yourself it will come out negatively towards him and it may drive him further away.
And on that note, be careful how you handle this situation when you confront him about it. In the relationships I had that ended because of this scenario, my now exes confronted me about it and they acted like such jerks about it that I didn’t like that side of them; and it put a rather stressful, fight-filled end to the relationship. That was because the guys got really defensive of me like I was personal property and weren’t sensitive to the fact that there was something missing from the relationship; and instead of trying to fix it so I didn’t have to go somewhere else to get it, they just got angry and resentful. I’m not saying I was in the right, either, but the harsh words could have been avoided a lot easier.
So yes, definitely address this, promptly, and as calmly as possible. Talk it over and try not to let voices be raised, even if it doesn’t turn out like you had hoped. Keep us posted and we’re all here for you! *hugs*

Sounds normal to me. What you just described doing with your guy is the same thing as what we were saying to do to release the tubes, just with 2 people instead. But maybe next time you won’t want to tighten it as much, but maybe by like an eighth of a turn, lol. If you couldn’t get it at all is when I’d start to worry about changing methods. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Way to be optimistic! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

I have the same problem: I’m 5’4" and ceilings are 7′ even. I had to buy an extension to use as the bottom piece, so the actual piece of the regular pole is sitting unused in the case… I also have several inches of the adjuster screw showing so that makes it hard, too. I wish the adjuster cover felt more secure to hold onto, I use that extra 3-4 inches! I just left the adjuster cover off because it overlaps the real pole and I don’t like holding onto it…
I’m not advanced enough yet to do the combos you want to do, but it’s annoying for regular stuff for me, too! I kick the ceiling if I’m not careful when I invert. I want to try the body wave but I can’t get a grip high enough on the pole to lift my feet off the floor. I also can’t even do a double climb, my head hits the ceiling. I can barely get high enough off the floor to do a cross ankle release. You see me struggling to climb up that last few inches in all my videos with it in there! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
So I don’t have any tips, but I can relate. Good luck and I’ll be checking this thread for advice, myself! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

I had the exact same problem when I got to this point… here’s a link to the thread if you wanted to check out the answers:

Fleur said it’s imperative to get a strong crucifix, which it sounds like the point where you are at, too. Work on getting the hang of hanging upside down (no pun intended) and such and you’ll be on your way!
You could always go to WikiPole to look up the moves and see what they’re supposed to look like. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I was wondering where you went off to! I hope things are going well and we’ll be anxiously waiting for you to come back! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Jungle you’re still sweet for doing it. Sometimes the point of view from another beginner is a lot of help, too. Some experts out there forget what it’s like when you’re first learning a move and can’t explain it worth crap. Veena isn’t one of them, though!!! But you know what I mean https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif
*semi-random side note: I’ve decided that the https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif emoticon is my favorite ever.

I already gave my 2 cents but I wanted to put in a big ol’ AMEN! and DITTO! to what Veena said – all of it.
