It’s been a while, but trot out the mom/daughter team. This is better than the sister team. :lust::lust:

LOL- I did punch up that statement to make a point to you (and a happy thought for me. ). YOUR reaction can only happen if I make a statement like that. All the points made universally, by everybody above are ones that I agree with, but it’s YOU that needs to be the center of your considerations Fairy-Bird. And I do NOT mean that in a selfish manner.

I always refer to Astronomy 101 / lesson 1- “The sun does NOT rise and set in the crack of ANYBODIES ass!”:rolleyes" I believe totally that you have a right to go with your personal desires as they are now, with the awareness of their effects on others. I personally believe this to the point that it can be a wasteful sin NOT to.

The balance of responsibility and fulfillment applies to your intimate life just as it does to your education, professional, business or personal life. The one thing I can suggest is “DISCRETION”. This being about YOUR motivations, becomes easier when you do not take other “causes” into it. If it doesn’t involve them, leave them (and their opinions) out of it. If you’re doing something to “show” any one, you may want to take another look.

Your thoughts and needs WILL change as time goes on, (as they should). I only want to be able to look back with a nominal feel of guilt for what I DID do and what I DIDN’T do. I long ago conceded that nothing is perfect. I just honestly try to narrow the margins.
