#a turtle rant

Dear Grey, 

I wrote three pages of explanation to this question. Cutting out the sarcasm because I don’t think people pick up on that easily, I managed to make it about a page and a quarter. Talked with my roomie about it {and she’s been here with me since literally day one. One day longer than I have known Muse}.

Then, as I was getting coffee it occurred to me...as much as I love my followers, I don’t owe anyone a darn thing. And I feel that this question is disrespectful to me, to Muse, to Beth and Z. It’s disrespectful to other healthy relationships she’s had/has with other people.

And you don’t even have the courtesy to address this discourse without the anon mask, and without providing me anything resembling a compelling argument as to *why* she might want to make a different choice.

Understand, that’s what it is. Beth’s choice. She *chooses* to be his wife. The mother of his children. To be with him, as he is and not as anyone else wishes he would be {including herself occasionally}. I had nothing to do with that. And for the people who think Muse is making me do x, y, or...well. Leave her out of this. And him too because I was there for the months that he tried to warn her away.  I was there for every time he told her ‘No’. Every time he walked away and she practically hunted him down, or waited until he gave up. She says he fell in love with her. I think the poor man just got tired. {That was sarcasm}.

Plus, I want to ask... why does this concern you? What can you hope to happen if suddenly she or I woke up one morning and said ‘naw, let’s try something different’? Do you think Beth would sleep with your muse at the first opportunity?

Because that’s the only reason I could see why the word ‘romantically’ is brought up. You can have intimacy with her, you can forge a profound connection the likes of which would shame the world {I can look at a couple of my mutuals who have done so} without sex ever being on the table.

If that’s what you’re hoping for Grey, I can point you to several OTHER blogs that you might find appealing, because even if Z and Beth weren’t their own thing, I can promise...she wouldn’t be into it.

TLDR; version:
