Dear World that knows everything I don’t know because I’m a sheltered self centered princess: is it fun or not to be with drunk boyfriend? I mean, obviously it’s not fun sexually. That’s a given. Especially in the over 50’s dating crowd, but is it fun to hear the inner most thought? Or are they just blabbedy blabbedy nothings? Is this deep revelation or silly annoyance? Or both? I’m guessing both.

I have a boyfriend for the first time in 32 years or so, and he likes to get drunk to kill his physical and emotional pain, just every now and then. I agree with him that it is not a problem because I like to get stoned and laugh my ass off in the comfort of my own home, so what is the difference? None.

Anyway, I find that staying straight while he ascends into drunkenness is … entertaining… and more? disturbing? informative? scary? sort of all of that.

Your thoughts? Thank you for whatever support you have to offer.
