You mostly know that the past 20 months haven't been easy for me. I've had to make a new life for myself as a single gay man after four decades of being part of a couple, which I diairied, and, probably because I diaried it, I took it upon myself to be the public face of bereavement here at Daily Kos. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I also thought it would be a good - and compassionate - thing for me to do to make myself available to people (specifically gay men) who had lost their partners because I knew something about that. WAY stupid. Then, I compounded it by taking a trip this summer that allowed me to MEET the two people I had been comforting. STUPIDISSIMO!
Now, one of them has been bojoed and the other has unfriended me (yes, on Facebook) for having said nice (actually, non-condemnatory) things about the one who has been bojoed. Has in fact replied to comments I made here by condemning me for enabling the guy. What's the saying? No good deed goes unpunished? So so true.
