Question About Love

[qos]

Someone asked

I know you are hoping to date and fall in love again. what can you tell me about what you are seeking from a potential partner?

When I read this, my first thought was You're mistaken. I never said that.The thought of loving anyone else, being partnered with anyone else, feels like profound infidelity

I want a warrior-king who honors and cherishes, delights in and lusts after his queen-priestess.

A random thought, for what it's worth: you've had that relationship. And it may very well be irreplaceable -- perhaps you won't have that kind of relationship again, with anyone else. So the next question would be: is there some other kind of relationship you can imagine for yourself? And what would that be?

Damn it, but you always ask the best questions.

Right now, I can't imagine any other relationship that I want. However, I know it's possible that another type of relationship will manifest and give me joy.

My imagination is failing at what that might look like, however -- and I'm not really inclined to push it right now.

Hm, that was pretty much what I was going to say.

You never know how things will work - my relationship with Sannion is extremely different from the dynamic I had with previous long-term partners, and it's something I would never have gone looking for, yet really works for me.
