A very good topic. At this writing, I am perched in my bed with my laptop and my honey is in the office working on the desktop for a relationship workshop that we are developing. Although we have framed it in a different way, the topic speaks to sustainability. Sustainability in our work, creativity, talents and relationships is so very important to us. As we are now starting to realize first citizenship rights, with marriage equality, hopefully we can learn from the mistakes of heterosexual couples and work to minimize the statistics as we define ourselves as couples. I don't look forward to 'gay divorce court'. Unlike heterosexuals, we have very few relationships to model. This is why it is so important for people who are coming to know love and people who have enjoyed sustainability to mentor other couples. We need this from those of us who have sustained those relationships in a healthy way; in spite of a hostile society and often without support within our own communities. We need all of our different and varied perspectives to be represented and that way we can be inclusive of folks who come with a cross section of ideas.

In terms of the position that you take here, I agree with one small caveat. I never tire of my honey's presence. She is in the other room and I miss her terribly and she is just a few short steps away! lol. Pitiful! Now when we were on the grind, providing leadership in extensively stressful careers, and raising a tween turned to a gremlin teen, negotiating parents and educating our child, political activism, sitting on boards and all the things that you gotta' do, we were on it. Sometimes so much that we flexed the scripts and the codes of our relationship because our lives required it. We are on the other side of all that now and most of our friends think that we are sickening. lol!

I have said before, I love the picture of you two. Michele looks safe. I understand look in her eyes. I commend you for creating that!
