Hello to the Lit community.
All in all, I have a pretty good existence. I have a bunch of good friends, I earn a pretty*decent income doing a job I like and I have found a balance in my life that means I get plenty of time with my two kids and to spend on my hobbies.*
But like so many others on this site I was in a loveless marriage for about 10 years. In the beginning everything was great. She never had a huge libido, but she was tender and attentive and I thought we actually formed a*pretty*tight unit. Gradually, even that dissipated. I went through all the usual emotions, hurt, frustration, anger, resignation.
About three years ago I bit the bullet and was preparing to move out when one of my children,*who had been exhibiting some behavioural issues, was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. Because of the challenges with managing his behaviour and the absence of familial*support, my ex and I have been forced to continue to share the same house, albeit in separate bedrooms.**
For the most part I am at peace with where I am at. Really, I would feel like a dick complaining about my situation. However, from time to time I really miss the intimacy of being in a loving relationship and would love to be free to find that with someone again. God, I just miss being touched. But I have to be realistic and in the next few years my living arrangement makes that impossible.*
If there are any Aussie women who feel trapped by their circumstances and would like someone who has been through the same experience to share with, have a chat with on any subject, or even explore some fantasies if the mood takes you, I would be keen. I'm narrowing my search to Australian women partly due to the shared background, but also because trying to maintain an online chat across different time zones is too difficult in the long*term.
I won't send photos and I won't ask them from you. If you want to have some idea of who you are talking to, I'm 42, tall and I like to think I'm in pretty good shape. I'm educated so I can hold my side of a conversation, not that this is evident from the dodgy grammar in this hastily composed post
. I'm happy to have an ongoing chat or, if you prefer, just pm me to say hi.*
Please don't be discouraged if I don't respond immediately. Sometimes I get busy. But I will try to respond to anyone who takes the time to write.
Thanks, Brad* **
