Thanks, Curt C! I’ll snag a copy.
I know AHunter3 very well, probably better than anyone else does, and I can confirm that he is happy, smart, charming, sweet, brilliant, thoughtful, and confident. He does not seem obsessed with his childhood, but he is very determined to get his story out there in the world so that others like him will not feel as though they are the only ones.
I am familiar with Aspergers, and I do not think AHunter3 is on the spectrum. He is, however, an unusual person and a very original thinker, which can be both a blessing and a curse. He’s an interesting combination of emotionally sensitive and sometimes oblivious.
As for the girlfriend situation, yes, we have all met each other and know about each other and we do not have a problem with AHunter3 being poly. We are poly too! And to me, it seems as though AHunter3 is happiest when he is not confined to a single relationship, for a variety of reasons. And he has actually managed to keep three relationships going for seven years now.
This sounds astoundingly . . . exhausting :eek:
Ah, well then, I would suggest you talk less of how you are different from the rest of humanity and begin trying to examine how your are the same.
OK, I’ll bite… why would I want to do that?
Either my narrative description reminds nearly everyone of their own experiences, in which case either I’m already saying the same things everyone else is saying (including the ongoing sense of Difference) or I’m saying something that isn’t being said by anyone else but obviously needed saying; or my narrative description does not remind nearly everyone of their own experiences, in which case I’m telling people about a different experience they should become cognizant of.
You are under representing the number of choices. You give:
1.) Stuff everyone is already saying that does not need to be said.
2.) Stuff nobody is saying that obviously needs saying.
but there is also option 3: Stuff nobody is saying that doesn’t obviously “need” saying. You have to realize that chronicling the smallest details of every aspect of your life is the most fascinating subject in the world for only you. You might have something important and valuable to say, but you mist distill it out of the extraneous details if you don’t want to sound like Grampa Simpson.
If you make it tl, people wr.
I come across to you as doing that?
:dubious:
Well, let’s just say that IMHO you could spend a little more time streamlining the entries.
Don’t know, I’ve never made it all the way through one of your posts.
It’s ok, the idea of being concerned with policing the sexual activity of one’s (single, only, solo) lover sounds exhausting.
I think some people are naturally poly and some are naturally mono. No big deal, just make sure you match up with partners with similar goals and expectations.
