Another long term relationship (out of a many attempts) is coming to a close as our partner of 7 miserable years is presently packing and trucking away tomorrow. Everyone made her go.

In a past relationships that actually spanned 4 years in several parts....I was dazed through the first 2 years of it, then came out of it to discover that I was in a trailer, in the woods, in another state, with a girlfriend and her 2 kids...like Scotty beamed me down right there. Instead of running away, I said, "I guess I'll just play along to see what happens next". That didn't really make any sense at the time but now....

We have come to know that we can't have a real relationship and are planning to quit trying....ever again. But that doesn't stop an Other from going rogue and getting us into another messy one, like this last one ending, and the other one, and the other one...

It's not fair to us and especially not fair to the other person that we are in relations with.

There is absolutely no agreement in preference of characteristics and qualities of the other person we seek to be with. Such as gender, sex, race, likes, dislikes, looks, intelligence, habits, hobbies,.... What one likes an other Other loathes. What one would do an other Other would never do. Its just so confusing.

Anyways, we have mixed feelings (like having mixed feelings would be something new) some are upset, some are happy, some disgusted, some sad, some are good riddance, some could careless, and some are jumping for joy- but we are mostly happy about this.

Such is the life of this Multiple.
