Dear Roseanne Rosannadanna,
“wow, ii've been reading your blog for a long time. you must have a really understanding partner, errr, boyfriend, i can't imagine treating a partner that way. do you guys live together for economic reasons only? i'm sorry, i don't mean to sound judgemental, but it seems to me that you give the right-wingers all the ammo they need to shoot down those of us who would like to get married and live in a committed, monogamous relationship. i know that str8 married couples endure infidelity as well, but does it have to be a chosen lifestyle? you sadden me and set us all way, way back.”
Sincerely,
Mr. Richard Fader

Dear Mr. Fader,
WWWWhhhhhhooooooaaaaaaaaooooo!
If it's not one thing, it's another. It's like my nana, Fanna Bobannadanna, use to say, "life is boring if we all live it the same way." And the answers to your two questions are no and yes.
Much Love,
Roseanne Rosannadanna
P.S. Throughout the day, I’ve written several different responses to this comment; one loaded with anger, one dripping with sarcasm, and one loaded and dripping with angry sarcasm. Ultimately, I decided that I didn’t need to convince you, or anyone for that matter, of anything.
The way in which we carry out our relationship makes us both happy. It works for my Honey and for me. If my Honey wanted to “get married and live in a committed, monogamous relationship,” I would step aside and wish him well as I would want no part of that. Fortunately for me, I found someone who wants to be in an "honest, committed, un-monogamous relationship," and, as a bonus, he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.
We're different ... and we're both okay with it.

But thanks for reading (now I know at least three people read this drivel).

Bravo. Nicely said and hilarious.
It's a moot point to say that this is "ammo" since the right-wingers have no intention of ever allowing gay marriage.
And yes, straight relationships/marriages suffer infidelity and non-monogamy too, do a cursory search on the web, you'll find a lively swingers' scene for ma and pa.
you went alot easier on me than i expected! i know i shoulda just kept my mouth shut...sorry, i have wanted to comment many other times, nothing negative, just interesting to read about a life so very different than mine, and haven't bothered. why i did this time, i dunno, but i'll continue to read, and i concede, if it all works for you, then hurray for you guys.
peace out....sid
OMG, I LOVE Rosanna RosannaDana! You cracked me up with that. And bravo for standing your ground. BTW, I must be from another planet but since when is "marriage" synomous with monogamy? I'd like some sort of marriage or civil union thing for me and my man but only for the legal protections. We have no interest in adhereing to the straight model of marriage.
And as for Sid, I don't know about him, but I certainly get a kick out of reading about your sexcapades, with or without your Honey. BTW, do you two play together or always separatly? Enquiring minds wanna know.
Go to the same restaurant... share a table... ask for the same menu... dont eat from the same plate.
