> Disclaimer: I am not, never have been, and probably never will be an expert on any affairs of the heart. That's why I have a cat. He's pissed at me too but I really wasn't petting another cat.
My cat's pissed at me, too, but that's not because of the OL thing. He's just got an unhappy inner kitten. He came from a dysfunctional litter.
And for the record: I don't want to rekindle anything with this fellow! I'd like to see him because of something that happened way back when, but I think I know that it can't be that way ever again. He's not "Like Us", in so many ways. My SO and I are both brainiacs, which is probably why he can deal with the depression. We share interests in science, tech, history, etc; things this other guy isn't involved in. I know that teenage gropings are nothing compared to mature commitments.
Thanks for the response, and especially for the smile about the cat. I have an infestation of them, so I do understand the issues involved there!
Now, anyone out there faced the "healthy partner doesn't want sex while the dysfunctional one is climbing the walls" routine? What happened? Is there any hope for me? Sexually, that is?
