If I count back, I had maybe 4 partners declare their public affection for another person. 4. 4. In private they claimed they were poly/open. To their family they said, in a quiet whisper, 1. I just saw Prof's wedding pictures. He did a whole flamingo pose he said that he hated, but in his...

Hello Gypsy, If I knew now what I knew then...hard to say. So many fabulous experiences but so much uncertainty and being kept in the shadows. You need to do you. Ms Cherry posted some pics of her and Prof's wedding on the web. He looks so thin, weak, and ill. The last few times we met he said...

Here we are another 2 months later. I should be able to collect my items that Prof left me in about 2-3 weeks. I did text Ms Cherry a couple of days ago and ask that I could take Prof's Star Trek stuff. She kindly replied that I could, as long as I didn't plan to sell it. ( sell it? )...

Thank you Evie. I really have moved on from poly. My 2 beloveds died and I was a nothing to the offical family people. Mr Green was new, and I do understand that the person who had his phone access did the most basic things. It is coming up to the 1 year anniversary of his death and I don't...

It's been a while... Prof died a few weeks ago from cancer. Ms Cherry got all the love as the primary. I got...left stuff in the Will. I have lost 2 beloveds in less than 10 months to cancer. With Mr. Green I found out on Facebook. It was mid Covid crazy, there was no public service. I still...

Thank you Pink Pig. Oddly, taking the odd random day off work helped. It was a mental health day but I put it in as sick. Such a weird time from March 13th onward. My friends and work people all seem to be at the end of their resiliency. I have very little left in my tank for the unexpected...

Thank you Icesong. It does help. I am going to take the day off work today.

Thank you for the positive vibes. :) It is actually very lovely to see your support. This year has definitely had a number of challenges. Being involved emotionally with 2 partner/lover people with cancer ( there, I said it ) has been all kinds of brutal. One person has a chemo port put in...

Mr Green. I think ( with therapy ) I did all the right things and messaged and was in contact until my last message had no response. Awful. I found out via Facebook. I had a strong suspicion when my last Whatsapp message had no blue tick marks. It was in August, fires, evacuation, and...loss. I...

My neighbor texted me to say I have flowers at my door. I drove home wondering who they could be from. I had no clue till I stopped in the petrol station and realized that tomorrow is Valentine's Day. At no moment on the drive did I think they were from Prof. It wasn't till I realized that...

Mags. My new favorite dating quote, "He could spell."

Thanks Vicki. Big Thanks. You say it so well. Those who are willing to work on it and those who are not. Part of me is very attracted to how attractive I find him and the larger part of me is "no way". The new hard work therapy me is open to enthusiastic and energetic relationships. Folks...

I pieced a few things together and strongly suspected that his depression is "active." He had talked about his depression said there were a few very bad years but nothing for a while now. If asked him if he cancelled because of depression and replied " Yeah, pretty down." We have been texting...

I think I just got flaked on. There was a little texting today with Mr Exotic, I said I had found the movie he was interested in Netflix and had a bottle of whisky. Not exactly an invite but not exactly not. He replied that he would be at mine at 8pm. I hasn't actually said I was free but I...

I met with Mr Exotic tonight and I am not sure what to make of it. I still find him very attractive. We ate a tiny dinner. Went to a bar that was local to him, and by local I mean across the street, that he wanted to try out. The bar tender person was brilliant. I have worked in...
