An End/Beginning of Year Update

[TeaEarlGreyHot]

I don't understand why you choose to live this way. What are you getting from it? It doesn't sound as if the M is that strong outside of the sex issue. It sounds controlling and punishing. Am I wrong?

In the universe of all possible ways to live, this is not the one I would have chosen. It is, however, one of the few choices I was left with. What do I get out of it? Well, I generally don't think of it in those terms. I get a household to share, some common interests of things to do and places to go.

There are times when it seems punishing and controlling and it would be apt to describe it that way.

As I said, it would probably be best to see it in terms of a housemate...one that I generally get along with, share a number of common interests with, and one that I generally in willing to do things and go out with...just so long as it doesn't involve anything sexual.
