Relationships part 3

I'm back to the steamy topic of relationships!

I have been in a relationship with the same man for almost a decade. Okay, that sounded like a life time! :) We met on the internet in 1997, when we both chatted via aol instant messager. I remember the first time we talked, he said something I found a little offensive and I cut the conversation short because of it. Obviously that didn't stop us from moving forward. :) Anyway, we met in person a couple months later when he drove from Delaware to Ohio and stayed in a motel down the street from the nursing home.

We had a good visit, regardless of being restricted to the nursing home and the limited number of places that were within walking distance, being I didn't have an accessible vehicle at the time. We took a walk to the hospital cafeteria next door, ate polish sausages while chatting uncomfortably for awhile and continued to hang out that evening drinking beer and chatting it up. He stayed until 11:00 that night and returned the next morning for a few hours.

We remained in contact, but I didn't see him again until September of 2001. This time we met in Washington, Pa. and stayed at a Holiday Inn. This time we hit it off and wanted to see each other more often. From that point on we made it a monthly ritual to get together whether it be him driving to Ohio or us meeting in Pa. We continued this ritual for a year and a half.

To be continued...
