Everlasting Love
I have too much drama in my life at times. One of my goals in coming out of the closet was to find a stable everlasting love with a guy. Am I looking for the unobtainable? Sometimes I wonder.

I am sure we have all had the same question at one time or another (or for some on a recurring basis).
I think everyone hits a rough patch now and then.
I introduced an acquaintance to my best friend purely by chance. They have been together 12 years now. So, yes it is possible :)
One of the hardest things about coming out later in life is that you have to deal with all of the stuff you should have gotten out of the way as a teenager. And by 'should have' I mean if it had been safe and affirming enough for you to be your true self at that age. Sure, you went through it with women, but you might agree it's a whole different emotional ballgame when your true feelings are unleashed. I went through it at 25, and it wasn't easy. And yes, everlasting love is as attainable with a guy as it is with a woman - but it's not all that easy with straight couples, either.
