Though I am sure I will not be gone forever, (I don't think anyone ever leaves), it is a time to start a new chapter in my life, and thus I have decided to significantly cut back on my use of TERB.
I have been considering this for some time now, and there are a few reasons that have led me to this decision. The relationship that I am in has become pretty serious, and thus I have not been pooning for quite some time. Though my partner and I do enjoy expanding our relationship by adding the odd woman to the equation, she does not feel comfortable with using 'paid company', I respect her opinion and belief in this matter and will support it, (until and unless she changes her mind).
The women I met in Oshawa a couple of days ago, along with the number of threads, and PM's of people looking for BBFS, has caused me to do a great deal of thinking over the past couple of days. I know 99% of you think and play safe, but the other 1% frankly scare the hell out of me. I feel fortunate that I have never caught anything, or even had a scare for that matter, and all my tests have come back clean (for 9 months now). It is my responsibility to my partner to keep myself in good health, again out of respect to her and our relationship.
Because I will be living with my children full time again, plus two new ones, (Hooray for me!!!), I have decided to invest much more time in the things that really matter the most. That being spending as much quality time with my family (both new and old) as I am able. Add to that the fact that both of my parents are ill, and also require a substantial amount of time in order to keep them out of 'assisted living'. Who know, you might even see me on the cover of 'Today's Parent' as 'Dad Of The Year' in the future. To me, this is the single most important thing I can do. I know I won't regret it.
To my 'online friends'...
Thanks for the good times, the insight, debates, humor, and for actually reading what this crazy old(ish) man has had to say over the past five years. I have enjoyed my stay here.
To the 'ladies'...
Despite what many will say, what you do is important work. It has been a pleasure getting to know many of you both personally and professionally. The memories that you have given me will last a lifetime. Stay well, please be careful, and trust your own judgment when it comes to clients. You all have people that love you, and it is paramount that you make it home safe at the end of each and every working day.
I will drop in occasionally, and make the odd post or two I'm sure, but for the most part, I'm outta here as I have a shit load of living to do.
Who knows, I might still catch you at the odd TERB party, and maybe with Ms. a 1 player at my side, some of her stories make mine look like child's play. What a good match eh?
Peace, health and happiness to all.
