Oh, SUPER fun.

I think the things that's different when you have to face this concept early is that those of us disabled before (long before) 50 know that it's just one of those things that happens. Like tums that aren't flat like when you were 18. 🤷‍♀️

And then there's the rest of folks

Accurate

Fair.

😭😭😭🥺 sorry, friend

I didn't know what MCTD is, but I'm looking at Ehlers Danlos because it would make sense as to why my lymphedema refuses to resolve. "Oh, eat less sugar, to it's inflammatory," GREAT IDEA, SHOULD I ALSO TRY YOGA AND MEDITATIVE BREATHING 😭🤣🙃

POSSIBLY MCAS garbage 🤷‍♀️

Dayum! Those toms are huge and beautiful! That's backyard food right there

Me, opening alt: pleasebebeerpleasebebeer

So FANCY!!! I have, like, one overall thing but 3 others that tried killing me and got beaten into a tentative truce, but a possible connective tissue disorder that could be just fucking with everything for funsies

But it would have to be somebody I loved immensely...

Because abuse makes all autoimmune stuff worse.

But men my age (50) mostly want to retire to a live in housekeeper. Which, I guess that's fair if your woman wants to tradwife, but I've done that and it was a nightmare. I'm not raising anymore neurodivergent children ALONE. Together, maybe.

Exactly.

The truth is, I've had rheumatoid arthritis since I was fourteen. Lyme disease flipped that switch into gear. I have survived more pain than most normies would have any idea what to do with, including having to go off certain maintenance meds for pregnancies and nursing.

And the abuse

But who did the using, my love? Who did the breaking?

It's not enough to just not hit me. I deserve to be treated well, and I thought that potential existed.

But, I am partially disabled, so the thought seems to be that I should make do with whatever is offered. I'd rather Not.

Exactly. Like, what I WANT is what I HAD. I want to pet his head while watching TV and snuggle in on the couch and stuff. But.

I ask so little, really.
I need to require more.
I give until I'm empty and then they're like, "You're used up at the moment and have disabled kids to look after?"

Guys who want to fuck me?
So many.

Guys I, a demisexual who really likes intelligent and perhaps TOO quirky gentlemen want to fuck? Many fewer. Maybe one someday. I'm not ruling it out.

I found one guy. One. Who was IDEAL for me, and I don't mean just sexually. Not perfect, but none of us is or is going to be, and my fat ass certainly isn't. My kids liked him. I trusted him.

I know there were some really shitty circumstances involved in our break, but, honey. So much crying.

Gurl, yes. And then if they're not STUPID, filter for fuckbois, then for those who didn't want biological children, then for those on more drugs than their little brains can handle, then for STDs you can't manage with an autoimmune disorder.

Def lich. All purpose bigbad

It was always immoral, sheesh.

I have no glamour. Only tired
