When I got married the plan was to be a DINK household, but for the last five years it's just been a SINK one and I think I'm officially tired of being the sucker in SINK. So I'm leaving my marriage to find a new path.
Me: 5' 7", 175, shaved head, brown eyes, dark skin, bright smile, sharp wit, securely employed, very artistic, linguistically gifted, somewhat technically inclined, and budding early entrepreneur.
Dealbreakers: no kids, employed, established (can pay your own rent), therapy for your traumas and unproductive patterns, likes animals and is not allergic to dogs, cats, horses, pigs, or birds.
Nice to have: an affinity for satire, a fondness for travel, multilingual, did really well in school, ability to solder, use a lathe, or proficient with power tools.
Irrelevant: height, weight, body size.
I've learned attraction is a slow process of mutual discovery for me. It comes down to how comfortable I feel being vulnerable, and if I'm comfortable being vulnerable then attraction flows freely.
I have a lot to offer the right person, and for years I offered myself up to the wrong person because I felt my loyalty was to The Relationship. I'm correcting that balance by asking that we both work towards being vulnerable and connected, instead of assuming the one who is in the best position to bear a burden do so.
