Partnerships and Doing Things Together

[acousticdryad]

Most of the time if I am invited to something, I will decline the invite if I am unable to bring Donald.  The few rare occasions where this might not be the case are the Clergy Retreat in ADF, and that’s really the only thing I can think of at the moment.  Even baby showers I would want to bring Donald along IF he wanted to go.

We’re not one of

As long as you both like being together that much and it's not an obligation, and you don't feel held back from something you really want to do because he's not there, go for it! Justin and I definitely need not-each-other activities. He's not interested in belly dancing (though he's supportive), I'm not interested in the gamer orchestra (though supportive). One nice thing is that we can totally hang with our friends in all sorts of combos: as a couple, me with the ladies or guys, him with the ladies or guys.

Yeah, there's never been a huge desire to do any of the activities that wouldn't include Donald that I can think of.

Different strokes for different folks

I don't do men-centric groups because let's face it, religion without women is kinda useless to me. And I don't mean that I want to look at women; I mean that they have a different point of view and a different starting point for experience than I do, and I find that fascinating and worthwhile.

Plus, if my wife (or anyone, due to their gender or sex) is excluded, I don't particularly want to be included. There's no value in that for me.
