I am a 28-year-old straight girl
two years into my first marriage. New job, new home, and new city
1,200 miles from my closest friends. It was really lonely at first, not
knowing anyone nearby. Plus, Hubby is far less social than I am, and
has not gone out of his way to help us make any friends to hang out
with. He’s happiest at home on the couch, in front of a good movie,
which is how we spend a lot of our time.
Adding to that is the fact that Hubby is
now working late nights. I’ve spent a lot of lonely Fridays and
Saturdays at home. A hot bath coupled with a good book is fun only so
often before it becomes pathetic. Enter Elaine. She’s my
running/workout buddy, my wine-bar buddy, and happens to be a lesbian.
She recently split with her partner of eight...
