Question

Can there be intimacy without sex?

I visited your site today, read some of the things you wrote, noticed some changes. Sorry, but it was bound to happen and I understand. Hope things get better.

A Day or So Ago I Woke Up...

...and realized that what I have now, just me, my kids and one very dear friend I would hate to lose, is probably all I'm ever going to have.....and I'm not too sure, sometimes, how long that friendship will last. She has a life, I don't, and I sure don't want to get in the way of that. It just wouldn't be fair.

I guess the sooner I accept things, the better. Doesn't feel especially good, but I think my new reality is just being alone.

Would I like to have more? Sure, who wouldn't. But I just don't see that happening.

I'm not especially good at meeting new people. Has to do with an inferiority complex that goes back decades. I'm basically insecure, not that attractive and on and on and on.

I cry, sometimes, at night, after the kids have gone to bed because I'm just so damn lonely.

It's depressing and for that, I'm seeking outside help.

I hope it helps. What I don't need is to fall into a permanent depressive state. I have kids to care for.

Word of the Day

maudlin \MAWD-lin\, adjective:
Tearfully or excessively sentimental.

Things I want that I know I can't have. Things I can have but know that can't and shouldn't.

I'm having one of those days.

Friendship

Friendship is as elusive as a dream.
As tangible as fog.
Those that felt a need to be here, are gone...replaced by those that want to be.
Where's the sincerity?
Where's the love?
Where's the trust?
Only the clock knows.
Time tells all.......
