People usually ask, "How are you doing"? first. Then again, I try to say as little as possible. <strong>Peter: People usually ask "Have you eaten?" I guess they got bored of that.</strong> How odd.

I get that too, and that's just after a year and a half of seeing the same man. Gets me questioning if monogamy and long term relationships are that much a rarity. I love your blog, Peter. Yes, I'm one of those anon readers. I'm such a perve when it comes to good writing. =) <strong>Peter: Thanks for the compliments. In my case, people see me as a disabled person first when it comes to relationships and that it is difficult, if not impossible, for someone to love me.</strong> I think there’s always this somewhat cynical expectation for relationships to break down over time.
