OK, sorry Maria, I guess I just assumed it was. My apologies.

In reply to John.

Thank you for your straightforward and obvious question. Our relationship is not sexual. A woman can be in that kind of relationship and be totally happy (straight women in heterosexual marriages do it everyday), or I’ll just speak for myself and say that it really works for me.

Hi Maria. Terreeia seems like a great person and I’m glad you found each other. My comment does not come from a bad place but I am just completely confused by your statement that you were and still are straight, but you are essentially married to a woman??? Is Terreeia just a really good friend that you happen to live with or a partner in every way? Sorry don’t mean to be so blunt but I your comment could almost be construed in a way such as “well I’m really not gay, but I am just making an exception for this one woman”. I can’t imagine a man living with and sleeping with another man yet still proclaiming they are straight????

In reply to Sylvia.

I echo the confusion on terms. You don’t need to explain it, of course not. And I cheer your happiness. My concern comes from my young gay son, who spends a good deal time educating me on gender and sexuality language, and its importance. You, of course, are under no obligation to conform, or use language that doesn’t make you happy, but it is a tricky area that can have repercussions for others.

Ohhh… So sweet! You sound just like me and my George (him being the communicator obviously). We ‘d so hang out if we were living closer! You rock as a couple and I can see how your strengths and weaknesses combine together. Greetings from Greece 🙂

Should read: Teerela and me. i.e., this is a picture of Tereela and me as opposed to Tereela and I are going someplace.

Have a great time in Halifax. You must stop by the Old Triangle Ale House and have a piece of their gingerbread cake. It is so good !

My best girlfriend since I was 4 years old, attended the same school every year until we graduated from high school. We rode the same bus, stayed over at each other’s houses, traded clothes and knew everything about each other. She went to nursing school, I went to the university. She sang at our wedding. She went to the Peace Corps, my husband and I had a baby. Her first day back after two years in Honduras, she made the trip to my house to see my new little girl. She was hugging and kissing her and I asked her if she was looking forward to the “Mommy” part in her life. She said, “Karen and I haven’t decided yet.” I stopped short, and through my arms around her. I told her I thought she looked different when she came in the door. I told her now I knew why, she was “in love”! She never hesitated a moment, she was so happy and so happy to tell me about Karen. Thank you for telling your story, I’d love to throw my arms around you! Be so happy and so blessed!

I found this post very moving. You are so brave to let love find you, and to just put yourself and your relationship out there. It is rare to find such a great communicator as Terreeia…..and a strength of yours that you recognized this at the time and let yourself get involved.

thank yo Maria…this post has made me realize that I also need to get less offended when I get called out by my partner for my unfiltered words/actions. Think I should think about how me getting offended might be offensive to him. And thank you for the front door consulation – I am currently painting it as you suggested, fixing my shutter color, and hope to have the door installed later this week. It was such a relief to have your color advice…a weight was lifted off my shoulders!
