My ex was a researcher at the Institute for Future Innovation and Technology. We broke up, even though we had been together for ten years.
During our relationship, she wasn't my only girlfriend. I dated three or four women while I was with her. But if you include the casual flings, it was probably closer to 12 or 13.
On average, I dated a new woman every year or two. Each one had something the others didn't, a unique quality that made me crave them. But they all had their flaws, too.
My relationships with these women were brief but intense. They seemed fleeting, but they left a lasting mark on me. I never saw women as sexual objects, and I never relied on them for emotional support.
But everything changed a few days ago. I got caught up with a group of men, and things started getting really weird.
This is insane!
