Nyarly's Journal: Grudging reponsibility

In reference to this entry, I feel that since there were those who cared enough to post extremely useful insights (and, I assume, those who did me the favor of keeping their insights to themselves) I'm somewhat bound by reponsibility to make an update on that count.

About a month ago, the relationship in question ended. By then, I'd prepared myself for any eventuality (including, and indefensibly, to dispense with feelings of culpability were she to do anything untoward) but the actual event was fairly sedate, and we parted ways semi-amiably. Not to say that there weren't tears, but we'd both been ready for it, and we may even be able to associate socially soon.

For my part, I feel like I'd forgotten I was living in a too-small box, and now that I can stretch my legs I feel so much taller. Coupled with the recent purchase (and subsequent exchange) of my very first ever car, it's as if I've graduated - or made that crucial transition from 4th to 6th level. I may consider getting a new cat, but I need to wait for things to settle enough that I can spend some serious time at home.

The future looks vague but bright. If anything, I think long term monogamy may be put off for quite a while. On the other hand, I've discovered opportunities to revisit and explore other relationship modes, which have already been staggeringly rich.
