I would also add that throughout the whole process: COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE! Lack of communication will kill any otherwise perfect process like this. My partner and I talk things to death before following through, and we still sometimes have issues on the other side; then, we talk...

I just needed a new email address, so I pulled a word out of my stream of thought at the moment. Now it's the basis for my seconary, usually more private, areas of my online life: pretty much anything I would prefer my family not know yet or in as much detail. I have variants and derivations all...

Bit of an update here, it's been a while. So, A is no longer an interest of mine, and my partner has also moved on from his interests. Neither of these were acted on, and both now have long-term partners of their own :) Also, P and I are now married! We got married less than a year ago now but...

Hi all, EmptyCloud here. My alias doesn't mean anything much as it's a new one for me, so don't go reading anything into it just yet :p I'm not sure yet whether I'm looking for help or not, but I know how helpful it can be to put into words what I'm thinking, and perhaps my journey both...
