@KittenSmitten0 I'm glad that you have support. The best thing is that you are still here today.
Please look after yourself.

Take things slowly, you're on the path to a brighter future. 💕

Overwhelmed. There are only one or two I would share it with. I don't share with family. My parents are gone. I don't discuss personal matters with strangers. I have no friendship with women. It matters to me when the beloved care, not when others care or say they care.

I like intimacy. Real intimacy. I like the idea of man and woman having only each other. A unified body. What help do you need if you get it from your beloved?

@yestestvennaya In my experience it's always been a good thing to have people in my corner.

I appreciate that everyone is different, I enjoy learning this.

I'm glad that you have the support of your partner.

This post wasn't about judging. It was just a question.

Over whelmed with gratitude and the goodness of human kindness. When my husband died, people I barely knew cooked for us, came and took care of my garden or just called to check in with me.

@PatientlyWaiting25 that's amazing.
I am so sorry for your loss. ❤

Greatful. I've experienced that. I hate being made a fuss of but it shows who cares when the S hits the fan in some instances

I'm estranged from family. Aside from my children, who are adults I have 2 relatives that I am close to and if any of them need me I drop everything.

Outside of those 4 I don't want or need to associate with any of my other relatives

@Mellowgirl thank you so much
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@AngelUnforgiven there are very few people I have love for here and you are one of them.

@NocturnalTide it's good to know that you haven't needed anyone.

I hope that in any instance you require support, it presents itself to you in the way you need.
I suppose it's a good feeling, one of comfort and support.

I try to do that to others I know.
