I am currently in my 3rd LTR. I think you realize it is someone to stay with when you find out they are willing to put up with you. :) That is really the truth. It is important to find someone who will deal with all your drama and then you hold on and do not let go. :) One of the main reasons I think this relationship is lasting as long as it is because we have a strong friendship. I think a real relationship is based on friendship. You need that to really survive. We have very common values and we both have the same goals for a relationship and our future together. You need to put all of that together. Relationships are work but you need a strong foundation to truly make it work. David,

How long was it before you really knew this one was worth staying in? How many relationships did you go through before settling into the one you are in now?

I have had the privilege of knowing a couple of these families over a period of years and the kids are happy, well adjusted and, as it happens, straight. I think from what I have learned about you so far, that you would be a terrific dad and I hope it happens for you when the time is right.

I do not think I will ever do it though. You never know... Gay rights needs more support from the straight community. They can get married so it is not important to them. When we get enough people upset then it will move the cause. It is sad that more of them won't help us out. Catherine,

Personal: could you see yourself as a Dad someday? 2. Political: any thoughts on why "gay rights," just like "civil rights" in the 60s, has not yet hit that tipping point where the majority of people realize it is an individual rights issue, and they should friggin support it? Rock on! 1. Personal: could you see yourself as a Dad someday?
