It's disappointing when you have to make those choices. They're never easy, and the right choice is different for different people. I've been lucky in relationships, only had 2, but both long lasting. The first was for almost 14 years, until he passed away, and the second is currently over 13 years, and this time, we were able to get married last year. :)

I met my wife at a carnival when we were 15. we got married at 20. I'm so lucky she puts up with my shit, my expensive hobbies (like ice fishing, I must have dropped $1000 in the past month or so on gear), and my prattling about things that she has no interest in even after all this time.

Nice. :) And yeah hobbies can be like that. We each have our own persuits. Some overlap like SF/fantasy and movies, and an interest in science, but others are quite different. I'm heavily involved in sport, which keeps me out fo at least part of almost every weekend, plus training, etc, and it costs me a fair bit to keep going. :)

He's a lot more craft oriented, and also spends a lot of time reading. But all is good. :)

One of the toughest things I've had to do was say goodbye to a girl a loved, but couldn't stand to be around. I gave her 5 years, all I got was a hurt back, a rusty old pick up, and broke. She used me. I told her I needed her to get at least a part time job to help with her part of the bills, she refused. When she'd ask for something, she'd get triggered and blow up when I told her there was no money for it. Towards the end, she was so highly aggressive, I had a hard time sleeping because I thought I'd wake up dead. Ah, but I still love her to this day. It hurts, but I could not and cannot allow that in my life. It's not healthy.

There are others, but I won't go into them now. These decisions are never easy. Take care of yourself. Who knows, when you're done with your studies, maybe he'll still be there.

The gay BBS scene. Used to be some good nets back in the day.

San Francisco had a big alt.scene back in the '90s. Some of it made it's
way to NIRVANAnet, which had a thriving sex discussion board. I wish I'd
saved my backup tapes from the peak years; all I have is a CD-R from the
last week of the BBS, long after the scene had dried up.

I don't remember that BBS. One of the big international gay networks back then was STUDSnet, which was a hybrid QWK/FTN network (used FTN in this part of the world). It closed down when the hosting BBS converted to a web forum in the late 1990s. :(

It's perhaps somewhat reminiscent of the Sting & the Police song "If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free"..

Back in the day, one of the big international gay networks was StudsNet, which I think was based in SF (otherwise somewhere else on the US west coast). It was distributed among a few local boards around Melbourne.

The inisial incarnation of The Bridge was quite unique in local BBSs. Firstly, it brought the 2 major local gay nets together in one place. Secondly, it was the first board to host gay content, while remaining a general messaging BBS. Users had to request the gay access, which could be done at any time, whether on initial application, or by messaging the sysops at any time after that.
