I have to be realistic about romance and me. I'm a failure at love. You could blame it on my bi-gendered nature. You could explain it away from attachment issues from childhood. You could just say that I'm selfish. No matter what is the root cause, I've loved and lost way too often.
Fortune granted me 11 years with my late wife. She was no saint, but I would like to think that she could have accepted me for who and what I am now. However, could I have accepted what she was while becoming a more mature adult? I'm not sure. Over the years since then, I've dated a string of women - with no long term success. Most recently, I was in a relationship for 5 years, and failed at that as well - in part, because of who and what I am.
My Christmas wish is simple - to find a lasting love, and to be able to show her I really care. What is your Christmas wish?
