Right, so 5 years later... Hello old blog and folks and such! It's been a (really) long time (sorry.) I'm still me! I think. I'm some kind of me still, anyway. I was in massive flux when I was last here. I'll probably be a lot more boring now. :o I'm a little older and hopefully a little wiser...

Updates! Not really, more like just checking in and yammering. :) So I still haven't come up with a nickname for the guy I've been seeing besides Hot Stuff, Macho and Romeo, but I'll call him TDH for now, short for "tall, dark and handsome", because that about sums him up. He went to a chess...

OK, well things are going well. :) I was kind of freaking out about the old flame situation, but it turns out he wasn't thinking about going down that road with me anyway, which is good. Much easier to be friends that way. According to him, there's no more attraction on his side (that ship has...

Thanks Opalescent... I haven't made the wise move yet, though. >_< Right now I'm pretty much standing at a crossroads going "damn, I really want to go that way, but I know it's a much better idea to go this way instead."

I don't think that will happen. I left a bad taste in her mouth because she was just coming into the picture as I was leaving the picture when they started dating. He was pretty into me, and he says that my name still makes her grit her teeth. I wouldn't be opposed to it at all, myself, but I...

Well, no huge developments, but a few new things. The guy I mentioned who I won't be fucking anymore resurfaced. He actually said a few non-assholish things, which was surprising. He said things like "I've realized I'm not emotionally available enough to be doing that with anyone right now, and...

Thanks! :D I feel the same way about you.

For reference, those who wish may peruse my old blog. I have chosen to open a new thread because I am in a different place in my life at this time. Well, it's been some time. Wow, where to even begin. Glancing through the first page of my other blog, I'm in such a different frame of mind now...

I'm very sorry to hear about this. :hug:

Well, this is sort of embarrassing. I broke up with Romeo last night. I think I made the right decision. We're working out the details as far as how to disentangle our lives from one another. I think contemplating, trying, and researching polyamory helped me figure out that this was the right...

Hmm, well I think the SoftCup could be worth a shot. It's about... hmm. $8 or so for a box of 12, if I recall correctly. They're not supposed to be reusable, but I usually keep one throughout a period for using during sex, I just wash it between uses and inspect for leaks etc. I tend to have...

I've got nothing for you on the relationship stuff, but I use a non-hormonal IUD and a menstrual cup, and that makes heavy periods much more bearable for me. The literature cautions against using IUD/menstrual cups together due to risk of expulsion. It is a risk. My GYN and I think it's a...

nycindie, I think I really look up to you. I think you're right. I think Romeo and I had agreed (well, this is what we'd been doing anyway) was for me to let him know when things progressed physically, just so he'd be aware. I'm not so sure anymore that it's necessary or beneficial for him to...

Scenario for your consideration: If I don't feel like having sex with Romeo one night, say Monday night, what happens if I spend time with another guy on Tuesday night and feel like having sex with him? Is that wrong because I said "no" to Romeo the night before? I would go into more detail...

Heh. My roommate and I tend to get into massively bitchy fights around our periods, too. I'm not entirely convinced it's just because of hormones, but I think the irritability makes any other issues that much harder to deal with calmly. I do know that my boyfriend really appreciated it the...

(ETA: This was in reply to Minxxa, cross-posted with SNeacail) Yeah, I've pretty much come to the same conclusion about Romeo (having to be buzzed to open up). Letting him just say what he needs to say and addressing it later sounds like a good idea. Goodness, everything you just said about...

Minxxa - Yeah, that makes sense. I know Romeo does have a hard time identifying and verbalizing emotions (and I guess in a lot of ways that's just a "guy thing"). I'm going to try bringing him with me to my therapist this week. Usually she's just my therapist, but she also sees us together when...

I'm feeling pretty down today. Romeo and I got into a fight last night. I had a really hard time keeping up and figuring out what the fight was even about. It seemed like every time I started to get an idea what he was upset about, he'd switch topics and bring up something else that he was upset...

Your bluntness made me grin today. Thought I'd let you know.

Things are quiet on the roommate front. No decisions... which, likely as not, is going to end up meaning a decision to stay. The roommates.com profile didn't yield any viable results... I messaged some people, but they all declined. I think it was just too much of a stretch to imagine finding a...
