In a monogamous relationship
Wow! In this context, I have no clue what to put here. I am many things in this world. I've had to be to survive. It has shaped my reality, and I find that, especially in writing...I'm not for everyone. I am really 54, and I've been happily married for 34 years now. My husband describes me as the one who told you her life story when she came in. Which is true. People are generally curious, and I don't mind sharing, and he knows it. I am an academic. Well, literally a feral academic. Please, when writing to me, take into consideration my agreement with my husband. Nothing he can't read. I like knowing things upfront. My husband also knows this. We live with radical honesty.
We have, for 34 years, off and on, utilized power dynamics to alleviate PTSD, and it helps. I've also enjoyed our explorations into a bit of everything, narrowing down what we both enjoyed. We are currently learning ways around a nervous system that has betrayed me. I am physically incapable of most of what I used to like.
Nothing my husband can't read.
My academic work is up for peer review. I'm sharing this with everyone! I'm thrilled and celebrating.
