Cat,
I hope you're doing well. Are they? I was going to say I worry about you, but actually I don't; you're golden. I know life has been tough on you, but, as you continue to grow and thrive.

I don't really know what romantic is, I guess. Maybe some people are more romantic than others, not men more than women.

Funny, but I talk to a lot of women who say their husband's/bf's are cold, distant, and don't give them enough affection (yes, I'm using he word affection in ALL it's meanings :-) and then I talk to men who complain of the same things with their wife's/gf's. Why don't the high affection people match up and the low affection people match up?

There is always a difference in desire and needs, I guess. Unfortunately, the lower desire/drive person sets the pace for both - like climbing a mountain. And if you want to get to the top together, you have to slow down for the other. Of course, if the other is too slow, maybe you should find a new partner. Or if the other is too fast, maybe you should work on speeding up. Meh, it can go either way, eh?

I'm really verbose today. It's been a while since I was able to get on the boards. Again, I really hope you're doing well and enjoying life.
