Reply #6: You're fortunate to have such a plan.

[Sal Minella]

My heart goes out to all the middle-aged and older wives and husbands who will walk out on their heteromates tomorrow and begin walking the streets searching for a same-sex partner.

I live in an area of respectable older homes owned by respectable older couples, and I dread tomorrow -- gray haired, bewildered looking folks searching each other out and then dragging luggage full of "His" towels or "Hers" towels, underwear, Coro earrings, Old Spice aftershave, Whole Earth catalogues, etc. to the homes of the new partners.

It will be weeks, if not months, before things settle down again around here. I'm so grateful to be so long content as a celibate.
