I always wanted romance rather than sex. Many men wanted sex now and friendship later, never the other way around. My last relationship ended 39 years ago, when I was 40. We are still loving friends and so with his husband, too. I hoped for another relationship but I was prominently working in HIV/AIDS and no one would speak to me let alone get close in case everyone thought they were HIV+. I love my own company and I am a self-sufficient introvert.
I could pay for sex and cuddles here in Thailand but I don't. I don't feel lonely.
I fell 2 days ago on a sandy, gravelly surface which shifted beneath me. I faceplanted onto the drive to my village. MIldly concussed. Bruises and grazes to my hands, wrists, elbows, knees and forehead. Today I have 2 black eyes. Even without these blemishes, where has that handsome youth gone? I don't miss him. I love myself unconditionally and know that I am loved by many people. I am contented.
There is no way to get relationships and love "right." Your Dr. Seuss quote captures it perfectly. Me, there was always some element of desperation involved, which made no difference at all. Best of luck to you, yours, and all your readers.
Errrrr Clint, I'm the first one to admit WTF is love/life/happiness all about......answers on a postcard to the Ivory Tower please. Cheers DougT ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฌ๐ง
I think it safe to say most of us, if weโre being honest, are โFumbling Towards Ecstasy,โ just like Sarah McLachlan sang all those years ago. :-p
