Whenever I do that, I have to remind myself of who he turned out to be -- much like a vampire disguised as human. And Fiona, you're so right. Most abusers seem to lack any kind of self-awareness.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-40516435517450276462018-04-04T15:49:25.540-04:002018-04-04T15:49:25.540-04:00So many men seem to see abuse being done by "...So many men seem to see abuse being done by "other men" but what they do is never that bad. Kind of reminds me of Ike Turner, when he was asked if he hit Tina. His answer was that he didn't hit his wife more than any other man hit his own wife. So I guess that made it alright, since he assumed his way was how everyone else lived also. And lucky Tina, who is around long after Ike is dead, and she's in her 70's, still looks great, and has as very sexy younger French man to keep her warm at night. And I'll bet he only smacks her if she asks him to! ;-DFiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-28449643524197320022018-04-02T20:54:41.571-04:002018-04-02T20:54:41.571-04:00That guy sounds like a real piece if work, Jean.

Surely a vampire when he was alive.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-26175491849547698572018-03-31T12:37:08.931-04:002018-03-31T12:37:08.931-04:00Thanks for commenting, Lisabet.

And it still requires promises." <br /><br />This is so true. The media shows us mostly LGBTQ people who conform to the straight, monogamous norms. When they don't, they are villains.<br /><br />I just wrote a blog post about books that strongly influenced me. One was Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. That book introduced me to the concept of polyamory, which has always made perfect sense to me. In turn, I think that has helped me to escape the tyranny of required promises.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
