Jamie left my life...other men came and went...then in October 1999, I met Danny, through a friend on ICQ. Danny and I started chatting regularly and a "thing" started. I felt pretty silly admitting to myself that I had fallen for a man I'd never met, but at the time I thought he was the most amazing thing to happen to me in years. We got on so well I thought we'd easily make it until February when I planned to travel to the UK to meet him and see my family. During one of our chats, I told him that I thought I had TS. He was very supportive and just accepted it. Nothing more was said about it. The week before Christmas '99, Danny told me that he was still in love with his ex-girlfriend, Chris. He dumped me without further ado, saying that he'd always love me and I'd always hold a special place in his heart. I cried for a week. February arrived and I flew to England for the trip of a lifetime. Danny and another friend, Dan, met me at Heathrow and kept me company til my connecting flight to Manchester arrived. After spending a week with my step-dad's family in Littleborough, I returned to the south and was again met by the boys at the airport. I spent 10 days with the boys and Danny's sister Lisa. I even met Danny's girlfriend (my competition) without losing the plot. It was a very strange situation, and despite a few arguments over various things, the week went well. I spent another week with another friend near Canterbury, then flew home. About a week after my return to Australia, I was chatting to Danny when I said said something stupid that angered him. We had a huge chat-fight and left each other furious. I was sobbing my little heart out when I logged off and thought nothing could get any worse. I was wrong. << >> |
