okay, so my bf's parents decided that our little romance was a bad idea, so they took away his passport and the money in his account. I feel kinda weird. I'm forty-four, and my bf is grounded. I didn't really think of it as sexual tourism. They apparently knew about me but got freaked out about it after the fact when he talked about moving over here. Understandable, I reckon. But I didn't go to Ireland because I couldn't get laid in Dallas. And I didn't see our online correspondence as seduction, any more than I would see any courtship as such. We were just infatuated, and it was a good excuse to take a vacation as well.

I suppose I'm a chickenhawk, at least for the last ten years the two partners I've had were considerably younger than me. But it's not an overwhelming preference I have or anything like that. You could just as easily say that I get hooked up with fossil hunters. I'm not attracted to underage boys by any stretch, and I don't care for the drama associated with being the "older guy". But my ex's folks in Wisconsin love me and still call me on holidays and pass the phone around, including the grandparents, and they're pretty normal folks with good jobs and educations. He's 28 now, and his current bf is 55, so he truly is a fossil hunter. My bosses are 77 and 54, and they've been together for 31 years. I just don't think much about age if I'm compatible with someone emotionally and intellectually and physically. I went out with a guy earlier this year who was my age, and I was fine with continuing that, so it ain't like I'm achin to be on one of those "perverted justice" websites and just can't help myself. fuck that.

I was kinda put off by the circumstances of all of this the other day and was wondering if it were even worth it. I was okay with the idea that things might not pan out - I don't cry over guys or not gettin my way. But having someone else step in and make judgments like that and say it ain't gonna happen kinda sticks in my craw a little.

anyway, it ain't drama that I need to take on. If his folks have a problem with me, they are welcome to call me personally. I never asked him to lie to them, and I don't have anything to be ashamed of in this instance. my only question is now whether I'm single or not and should I go ahead and start dating again or see if this is gonna resolve itself in the near future.
