IT HAPPENS:
On a similar note, others could accuse ME of being in a state of denial. For years, I have gone off on diatribes spouting a belief that I did not need a relationship to be happy. I viewed any couple as two individuals who couldn't stand on their own and needed another person to feel complete. Eww... WEAK! I could justify my singlehood with ease:
1. I can take care of myself and don't need any financial support.
2. Crying is for babies and I never cry, so I certainly don't need a shoulder to cry on!
3. I decide what I wanna do and when I wanna do without having to negotiate or be nagged by another.
4. My dogs love me unconditionally. If I need sex, then I can find that easily too. Why do I need a partner?
Those are purely selfish reasons. In a relationship, I find myself a better man. I make sure the house is clean, the refrigerator well stocked, and I even forgo tennis matches out of consideration. (GASP!) Winning becomes less important as the Terminator act is dropped. I become more warmly human. I can't even harness the bitter and jadedness to become a super hero bereft of weak human feelings anymore.
Hmm... maybe there is something good to this thing called "a relationship". I'll keep exploring this brave new world and get back to you.
XOXO,
Brett

I take it Mean Cub...or whatever his nickname is...has helped you see the light of day? I mean, last blog I read about a man was about how awesome his visit was. And, now you are singing the virtues of a possible relationship and what a better man it makes you? Could it be???
I hope so. I think having a good man could do you some good. Help you get past these weird ideas about twinks and squishiness and all of that madness. Acceptance...acceptance my friend is the answer to all of your problems. And perhaps he might help with you that. I mean, you seem to be less selfish now...
My hats off to him. I hope you and he bump uglies from now until the end of time!
You're not as hard-assed as you want people to think. And everyone knows it. You're the last.
Thank heavens! Or whatever gods you nutria worship. I was wondering why I hadn't received a drunken 3am text in so long. Congratulations! Ding-Dong, Darth Sugarbakker is hitched!
PS: has he had all his shots yet?
You may have meant "balled and chained."
On another note, leave the Catholic Church out of this. The Church has made it through more than two-thousand years without your/my input; notwithstanding any personal objections you may have with the dogma, it's not going to change because of populist attitudinal changes that have come about only in the last 100 years or so. It's not a democracy.
