Actually, your comment was brave - and it helped me realise that in the ways you described, we are similar.

The one thing I am, which I do not usually mention, is quick to anger, but also quick to regret it and apologise...if I was even a little wrong in my own eyes.

The major difference between us, is that you found someone to love you...for a long time.

It is a strange fact that if you read the story of my life, you would say 'this guy is weird and surely even half of it cannot be true' and I've had some say I have lived an interesting life. I have, for I never went along with the attitude that I must be the same as everyone else...and I think I can create some stories that are weird or interesting, and yet, basically, I am a very boring person....which is why women tend to want me as a friend, not as a lover (or at least, not for long). It is why all my characters hate being told they are 'nice'.
