Sense of Responsibility

SG and I had a talk today. As I mentioned, I went through another round of testing for HSV2.  He caught me the day before I got retested when he called asking to schedule some time with me.  I had to decline given the situation, and as I promised him back last summer, I told…

Random Post Friday

Thanks for all of your comment yesterday on my HNT. I guess I should mention that I’m not someone who hurts easily. While it may look bad, it wasn’t that painful.  But then again, I am someone who used to take foul balls off of my body while catching on the softball team. I guess…

Right vs Easy

“Right is not always easy, and easy is not always right.” I did the right thing yesterday. When SG send me a message suggesting we play, I checked to make sure he and his wife had talked about the herpes thing to make sure they were on the same page – and it was on…

POD – Stripy Socks

Infect

That little six letter word “infect” has resulted in me being celibate for almost six weeks now. As one friend described it, infect is a “shudder word”. That word is the mental barrier to G and me having sex right now. As weird as it sounds, I almost have a version of survivor’s guilt. I…

What’s Been Eating Emmy

The last few weeks have been stressful. I have mentioned that. I have been vague. I have been a bit elusive in terms of what has been going on. And I really had no intentions of sharing what has been going on. It was not something I wanted to do. I wasn’t sure I was…
