KitCat, if you switch channels again, please let us know where to find you. There are one or two handfuls of stories I return to hear updates on, and yours is one of them.
Battlestar Galactica! Well, whether you're a fan of the Classic or Reimagined--huge fan of Edward James Olmos here--I think the difference was Adama and crew expected the frack to end and a good outcome when they reached Earth. So say we all. This forum feels more like The Walking Dead where we watch people get off'd one by one. Whether it's due to lack of new content, the vibe, or search engine optimization.. in the end WHY IT'S DYING matters less than IT IS DYING when the owner's not committed to trying. Please note, I'm full of appreciation for our mod team.
As for the "calm"--I so get it. My father endangered my life. My XW was a physical danger. My XGF was verbally abusive. Ms. Sunshine would say ILU one date and not kiss me the next.
My current partner K has NOT said ILU and last night was the first time we just chatted about our days on the phone. But, each time I see her she kisses me, she's kind, and she's curious about my day. WHAT?! We have to remind ourselves that we didn't strike the lottery--this is normal behavior. Most people are not crazy drivers. I've done many road trips. I can't recall any road ragers. I recall only one person I felt uncomfortable because she tailgated everyone at 80-90mph. She had quick reflexes, BUT we're both smart and know there are limits to human reflexes, and limits to break systems (his Fiesta or her Lexus), and how much stopping distance even the most attuned of drivers need. Most people out there are normal drivers and don't road rage. Most people out there when they like someone will kiss them, be kind, and be curious about our days.
Rambling a bit. I hope you get your needs met via friends or supportive people on the Internet. I hope, the next time you think about being partnered up, you cast your net for someone new. Showing ANY fury or anger within a few dates is unusual and a red flag. Most will wait 4-6 dates for sex if intimacy is increasing and they're enjoying your company. We've both missed red flags. Taking things a little slower for potential LTRs is a good remedy. THEN, you are clearly a creative lover, enjoy the sex!
