His wife of 27 years dies in his arms and after 6 weeks he's out there answer adds and spanking someone?! Damn. I mean, if I die horribly I'm cool with papacrow finding someone else - or plural, whatever. But I'd kindof hope it would take him a little longer to... process the end of our relationship...<BR/><BR/>'I'm asking too much of him. Just like the photographer is asking too much of me.'<BR/><BR/>oh babe.

But still, there is a comfort from being with someone... and the occasional spanking can be really cleansing. And a companion for movies wouldn't hurt either. AND the philosopher won't have to fret that he should be giving me things he can't because of the dissertation.<BR/><BR/>But we'll see. I'm not going to pick up every stray dom on the street corner. And you guys will keep me honest, anyway.

One of the things I said -- and this wasn't off-the-cuff, but reflective -- was that I could never do this <B>because I am too submissive</B>. Meaning, the man <B>has</B> to approach me, from the get-go.<BR/><BR/>Now, that's not about anyone but myself, or about any notions of what a submissive woman ought or ought not to do. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it came to mind because you touched on it in your post.<BR/><BR/>You write here in your comment to Paul that you think you seeing another man or men will take pressure off of the Philosopher. Which makes me wonder, are you doing this for you? Or for him? There are, after all, other ways in which one can assuage one's loneliness? <BR/><BR/>Wishing you warmer, brighter days, OG.<BR/><BR/>{{hugs}}<BR/><BR/>~ ElAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-49278397822728203092009-01-03T10:26:00.000-05:002009-01-03T10:26:00.000-05:00Dearest Paul, I forgot that you would be the perfe...Dearest Paul, I forgot that you would be the perfect one to comment on this. How long did it take until you were ready?<BR/><BR/>The photographer is not the right man for many reasons. There is only one man I really want, and perhaps one day we will be together again. Meanwhile, I will try to safely amuse myself so he won't worry about my being lonely. I think it will take pressure off him.oatmeal girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842608615972752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-9528549173867904522009-01-03T10:12:00.000-05:002009-01-03T10:12:00.000-05:00OG, I'm certainly not that man, my wife died more ...OG, I'm certainly not that man, my wife died more than fourteen years ago.<BR/>I wasn't ready for another relationship so soon, that can be sort of dangerous.<BR/>I hope that you find the man of your dreams need that will inspire you to write even more.<BR/>Warm hugs,<BR/>Pau.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790580459962602757noreply@blogger.com
