Tomorrow, after work, I'll be posting some info on the dangers of #EmotionalAffairs & how blurred boundaries can often lead to unnecessary drama when one person opts to cease #dysfunctional #relationships & try to establish healthier #boundaries.

I've been on 3 different sides of emotional affairs, over decades of my adult life & know how to recognize them. I got myself help for my own emotional immaturity shit in that arena, years ago.

Many folks still don't really know how to spot emotional affairs. They damage multiple relationships at the same time. They're unhappy with their own relationship but won't leave them. I feel sorry for clueless longtime partners because no one really deserves being treated like they don't really exist by their own longtime partner.

I was listening to my boss ask my coworkers type and she was like "blonde, brunette, red head, taller, older, big ass etc etc". Then I had this realization, I've dated men, women and nonbinary people that were older than me, younger than me, bigger than me, shorter, thicker, thinner, blonde, brunette, purple hair, multiple color hair and asked "Do I even have a type" then the dawning realization,

What if I am so much of a bottom that I AM "the type" in the relationship?!

Wait, this just dawned on me. It's so obvious it's stupid.

It makes sense that men's attraction is both more visual and that they are the one's who more often take the initiative and do the approaching. These are inextricably linked.

Whoever makes the first move has to be focused on what they see because before the first move, there's nothing else to go on.

Unfortunately for many, it seems to stop there.

In need of serious advice. How do you get over the memory of an ex?

It's been exactly 2 decades since our relationship. Today's his birthday.

We have no way of contacting each other. He might not even be alive anymore. Usually he appears in my dreams and thoughts when I least expect it. I don't have any photos of him, just memories.

It feels like I'm being haunted.

Serious advice will be sincerely appreciated. Snark & insults will be ignored or blocked.

I must admit I'm surprised. I came across some #statistics outlining there are more gay #men than #women in the #UK.

Almost twice as many in fact, and even adding in #bisexuality it still tilts that way.

Why am I surprised? Well it's simply because it doesn't match my experience.

Over my six decades, I've met dozens of women who were in same-sex #relationships but only four or five men.

I can think of many possible reasons for the discrepancy, but it still feels wrong.

It's very hard to discount your own #experience as atypical. We're hardwired to think we're a representative sample :ollie_smile:
