So....bout those disclosures...
As some of you might have seen disclosures 2/3 went WAY better than disclosure 1. Here’s the sitch...
Last Saturday, I finally told the couple that I’ve been seeing about my newly acquired glitter. I asked to meet them for coffee and immediately they asked if I was okay, if it was something they did etc. Not in an accusing way, but rather out of genuine care and concern. We set a time and I anxiously waited...and by anxiously waited, I mean scrolled through all of my feel good messages and all of my research and “how to tell people” notes.
As soon as they got there, I got hugs and concerned looks. I’m sure I looked like I was gonna puke my guts up (it sure felt like it). I told them that I had gotten some results back from the doc (they knew I’d been sick) and that it wasn’t originally what I thought but instead I had herpes. They listened while I rambled and tried to be clear as possible and then He grabbed my hand from across the table and told me everything would be okay. She hugged me and said that this didn’t change how they felt about me. The immediate joint reaction was amazing. I almost cried I was so happy. They agreed to get tested and that we would be careful moving forward sexually.
And then....
We literally sat in the coffee shop for another hour and a half talking, laughing and judging people for their outfits. They made it abundantly clear that they cared about me and were still interested.
Can someone say cloud nine?!?
So with all that good juju and confidence I decided to bite the bullet and tell my last partner. We text constantly because he has life responsibilities (aka kids) and lives farther than the others. I told him I got some news and he responded...so then I started my schpeal.
And he responded with kindness, understanding, and the same resounding “I still like you, care about you, and still want to be with you”. He had a few good questions and we talked about it. He knew stress was a trigger and took the opportunity to fuss (he knows I tend to stress over every little thing). He still wants to see me, still cares about me and I got plenty of little 🖤🖤🖤 at the end of our discussion.
Moral of the story glitter-babes:
Sometimes people will leave for reasons outside of your glitter and it’ll be okay.
Sometime people chose to leave and I know it hurts, but you will find your people.
People will still be your friend if you have glitter.
People will still want to be your bae if you have glitter.
People will still want to get kinky with you if you have glitter.
People will still care about you if you have glitter.
Life continues with or without glitter and it’s up to you to make it amazing!
This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life with glitter and I’m nervous but positive about the future.
