My relationship with my new boyfriend Terrence -- who I found via my infamous personal ad just before to moving here -- has been going GREAT! My ex-husband Brien was the standard by which I measured all other men, and none ever measured up -- until now.
Terrence is even better than Brien! (Sorry, Brien, but heterosexuality is worth a lot of points!
) Terrence is smart, funny, sexy, kind, affectionate, successful, we share our important values (libertarianism, atheism), we have compatible lifestyles -- I don't think I could have designed a better boyfriend, except perhaps to make him a bit more of a sci-fi geek.
I'd been pretty miserable over my love life for the past four and a half years so this giddy happiness thing has been quite the adjustment. I'm so glad I got over my prejudice against younger men.
