Changes in Attitudes

I guess there comes a time when things change. I also guess that the only thing constant in life is change. I have experienced a veritable cornucopia of changes since the last installment of my totally unfabulous life.

First off, I have moved. I no longer live with the guys. I have a very cute, sort of retro apartment down in the Montrose area of Houston, the gayborhood. I am within walking distance of all sorts of fun places. I have wanted to be urban for a while, and now I am. My apartment is not totally retro. I splurged and purchased a 60" HD TV. It is actually weird because I rarely watch television. I guess I will have to since I ordered every cable channel available.

I also picked up an extra job. I am now doing sound at The Concert Pub in Houston two nights a week (Tuesday and Wednesday). Extra money always comes in handy. Especially now when I am setting up my household during the holidays.

Speaking of my household, there is a new guy in my life. We will call him RC. He just recently graduated from Texas State with a degree in respiratory Therapy. He is looking for a job here and wants to work in The Texas Medical Center. He is my type: young, cute, Latin.

On some sad news, my friends, M & F have ended their 21 year relationship. It happened over the 3rd they had. It is one of those "gay" stories that starts out, "well, it's complicated..." It seems that F told M either the 3rd goes or he does. M chose the 3rd. This is where it gets complicated. F moved out and left M and the 3rd. However, M & F talked and they decided to try and work things out. However, over the weekend, things got totally out of hand and some things came out. Now, the 3rd, who F wanted gone, has moved out of the house with M and in with F and they are going to have a relationship. I told you it was complicated. Don't ask because I can't even begin to fathom how all of this came about. F will still be working for us. I just think it is going to be really weird. But, we'll see.

I can't really say when or where things got so crazy. I wish I could rewind everything and see where it all spun off course and into this weird other dimension. I think I have taken M & F splitting up harder than they have. It breaks my heart to see what happened with them. I wonder now if it is really possible to have a long-term relationship. I am still going to see if I can. I guess the best I can do is just live day to day.

Goodness, you have gone through a LOT of changes. A new place to live is always exciting. Lots of new things to do. New job... New person in your life. Wow! I guess it always feels in some situations that we'd like to rewind and see what went wrong and why... too bad. I know you're feeling bad about this. Hope things get better.

'I guess being a Respiratory Therapist would make him good at mouth-to-mouth'--you mean you don't know yet?!?!?
'I can't really say when or where things got so crazy' How about 3 years ago when they first started to look for a 'house boy'???
Good luck with the new place, new job and new 'kid'!

David and I rarely have a 3rd because of issues like that...that pop up.

Best of luck with the respiratory therapist! You will have to tell me all about him.
That is rough about M & F, but it really was their decision to make. It is always a mystery why people would make such a choice, but it ust have been the time.

My parents were married for almost 60 years. Both of my sisters have been married and divorced. Old sister is on her second marriage. DH and I have been together for almost 35 years. I don't suppose it matters whether the relationship is heterosexual or homosexual; some last and some don't.
