I should probably explain more of what’s going on here, so people have more of a context.
Here’s the thing: I’m a forty one year old male.
Regardless of how I appear physically, that fact has not changed. And that fact changes everything when it comes to romance.
The interests I had when I was a twenty or thirty something are not the same ones that I have today. And that isn’t me being “stubborn”. It’s a simple truth that people change when they get older, and this applies to everyone.
What I’m getting from some of my girlfriends and ex-girlfriends is a kind of stubborn anger about this. There’s this sense of “Well, you were interested in this fifteen years ago! So why not now?!?!?!”
Well, because it isn’t fifteen years ago, lol. The romantic interests of a middle aged man and those of a twenty something are going to be different, and they are often very different indeed. That’s life.
A good part of the reason I’m angry is because few seem to realize this, and those that do don’t seem to appreciate it. They don’t understand it’s implications.
So it feels like we’re basically fighting each other, now. And that isn’t good.
As I get older, I am definitely losing interest in things like sexual experimentation. In wild girls and crazy sexual experiences and stuff like that. My interests are more aimed at stable, typical, long term relationships. And that means one guy (me), and one girl. Of course I am still polyamorous, so it’s more like one guy (me), one girl, and then the next day one guy (me) and one girl (a different chick).
I still like the whole variety aspect to this stuff, clearly, lol. But I like the variety in a more typical way. I’m not really a swinger.
I’ve tried out literally everything I could, sexually. There’s nothing left to experiment with. No new experiences to be had, really, save for that of a much more traditional, non-telepathic relationship.
I’m not looking to experiment, really, like at all. And it’s not for lack of trying- I’ve actually tried on occasion to change my tastes now, to get them back to how they were twenty or even ten years ago. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t “take”, and those experiences are all so oddly unfulfilling. I don’t feel good or happy afterwards. Clearly, I’m a different person now.
So, that’s basically where we’re at, at this moment.
Such is life, lol.
But I guess the general gist of this is to understand that as I change, if you want to stay with me, you will need to change too, to accommodate those changes. You know, like any successful relationship.
And- part of that includes being able to predict future changes in me, before they happen. So that you can adapt better.
But as it stands, shoving things in my face that are inherently aggravating or tiresome to me at this point in my life isn’t going to work. It’s going to cause conflict, frustration and resentment.
Telepathic relationships are not easy, clearly. They take a lot of time and understanding. And if you don’t put in the work, it isn’t going to work out.
Effective communication is the lifeblood of any successful relationship. And in these cases, where no physical communication is apparently possible, well, there is extra work involved. That’s just how it is.
Such is my spiel. Well, off to do something else, now.
