Thanks, I really appreciate you posting that. He and I have decided to hold out and see what comes of our relationship. We're closer friends now since I last logged in. I can't say for certain if our situation is very stable. It's only been a few weeks but we enjoy each others' company and he's very respectful of how we approach the topic of sex, and I hope I am/at least continue to be just as respectful too. I won't lie - it's a very difficult experience for me but I have a lot to be thankful for and just having him in my life after what we've gone through (this and other issues), makes me smile. I'm glad to hear about your parents!
