Well, I f'n thank you for your concern. As it turns out, I AM alone, husband died by his own choice 4 years ago. He was very physically affectionate with our sons, his brothers and a couple of old, great friends.
I'm good with a rifle as long as there's a good scope on it, but I'm way better with my 9mm.I no longer hunt, so I don't have to clean dead animals. I do go to the range, I load my own magazines, I'm never "alone" if you know what I mean.
Tonight I learned how to fix the air conditioning on my car. I chop wood, I lived in my little cabin here for two years without electricity or running water. I had to give up that wild lifestyle when the cancer returned. I still do everything around here except plow my 400 ft driveway...only now I do it by electric lights instead of Aladin lamps. I sold the outhouse, used the money to buy firewood. Put in a well and indoor bathroom, every single day I am so damn grateful for running water.
No guilt here. NO lines to be blurred here. One half of the team checked out, so the other half picked up the slack.
So, you were saying?
Well, I’m very glad to know that you aren’t really as narrow-minded regarding ‘defined roles’ and ‘blurring lines’ as your earlier post suggested.
Individuals don’t all fit into those neat boxes, and neither do many good marriages.
