I was looking back through previous posts, prompted by Dawns post today and it occurred to me that the only mammal I haven't given you guys much information on here at the farm is Partner.
Well here goes.
I met Partner in a gay bar. Shocking I'm sure.
It was Feb. 1986. I was still technically in a relationship with the Ex. but he'd been in Edinburgh producing one of his plays for about 3 months and we had an 'agreement'. You know how 20 something gay boys can be... He'd (the Ex) already made the decision to move to Hollywood and pursue his writing/directing/producing career. I'd decide L.A. wasn't my kinda town so we new what was coming. It was hard to end a relationship when we still loved each other but not enough to keep us together. I still love the Ex. and he stays here with us when he's in town. He and Partner are good friends. Anyway...
Lonely and alone I went to one of the bars and quickly met two young men. One was was a handsome man (Dark black ringlet curly hair & blue eyes) and the other was Partner (studly blond dude with a quick smile and a great bod) They kept chatting me up and buying me drinks and kind of competeing with each other like high school boys. It was very flattering.
Unfortunatly what happened next was not one of my stellar moments. I kept looking back and forth and feeling flattered by the attention as they talked. I'd not dated in over 5 years. They kept buying me drinks. Eventually I got so drunk I really need help getting home. Dark curly haired boy bailed and left me for Partner. Partner decide to take my sorry ass back to his place since he didn't know where I lived. (compassion) He had the joy of a non-sex trick that snored all night, I'm sure.
We woke up the next morning and as hung over as I was I knew there was something special about this boy. And I was right. We have never in the course of our relationship gone 24 hours with out speaking, if not being together.
I got very lucky. This man has the heart of a lion. Even my Ex loves him. He's a big blonde boy with a full beard, kinda makes him look like a bit mountain man. A stunning smile, a bit of a barrel chest. (which I love) And depth of love and compassion that has taught me to grow my own.
Yup, Lucky indeed am I.
SPECIAL NOTE TO AUNTIES: Partner sends his love to you both - You know you have mine !

He sounds like such a sweetheart, I mean, you gotta stick with a man who would see you home (even if it's to his) and be such a gentleman about it.
I love stories like this - it really makes me happy to hear and about and share your happiness.
