And yes, I apologize for a blanket statement where I called 2/3 to 3/4 of the posterers here for being losers, but a lot of that was based on this concept that one ... if you hate Uncle Sam, go MGTOW (with a sex doll) or go abroad to bang hoes (or causal sex), but don't sit around and mope around all day.
With that stated, I guess I can give an update or so.
My life has changed during the past two years. Yes, I'm now approaching my 4 year anniversary with Mel and it's been an awesome ride throughout.
Here's what's changed. Mel has a cousin who'd died two years ago of cancer and he had a son. Let's call him, Jim. Well, at the time, Jim was 12 years old and lost his mother to an accident, when he was only 6 years old. This event also affected Mel because that was the age when she lost her own mother to an illness. So what's happened is that we've been caretakers for this boy and finally, I made a decision, I wanted to be his legal guardian.
Prior to all this, Mel was his godmother during his baptism. In a sense, she wanted it as well.
Mel's family lives in Rhode Island and while I have all the respect for the Ocean State, truth be told, it's better for a young man to grow up in the Boston area with parental figures who have the wherewithal to figure things out. After Jim's dad's death, he's been living with Mel's father and had the support of an extended family.
For me, it was not enough. Who wants to live a life as some orphan?
Ok, so after the legal work, he's been here, outside of Boston, living in my 2 bedroom / 2 bath, with Mel and I. And unlike a lot of self-centered @ssholes, neither of us want to replace his natural parents. It's always Uncle S_Parc and Aunt Mel and we celebrate both of his parents' birthdays in honor of their memories. This was important so that he could both grieve and move on from the loss. In fact, I don't expect him to get over it, ever, for the rest of his life. The most he could do is cope and feel that ppl around him still love and care for him.
These past few years have been tremendous. We're homeschooling him and he's taking courses online, doing tremendously well. When his working papers are validated in the next 2 years, he'll be an electrician apprentice for a shop I used to do business with, and he'll also be getting a bachelor's degree online, either from U Maryland or Penn State.
What's changed for Mel and I is that one, we moved our RealDoll to the office. We don't want it to be discovered at home. In fact, the woman working next to our office complained about the 'noise' from our office suite.
So yeah, we can't walk around naked in the home and unfortunately, are forced to wear pajamas to bed. I do miss feeling Mel's naked body throughout the night but hey, compromises need to be made if we want to be civilized ppl
And then, paradoxically, we bought a RealDoll for Jim.
And here's how it happened, when Jim turned 13, his hormones came alive and he started to look at women online. That's when I showed him the RD stuff and then Mel finally convinced him to keep any RD fantasies in private, so that the rest of the world didn't know about it, we green lighted the purchase.
I know he's smitten by Mel's presence so I gave him a challenge and that was the learn Brazilian Portugeuse because that was the best way for him to find a woman like Mel, but overseas and in South America.
Anyways, he's been doing Pimsleur and Duolingo everyday. He's Skyping a tutor in Brazil and he's making progress all the time.
Thanks to the RealDoll, he's not a horny, lonely 14 year old. Instead, he's highly focused and looking forward to starting work in the electrical wiring work in a couple of years.
