Another late comment...I don't feel up to writing everything out in its full complexity, but I'm in the process of transforming my relationship of the past several years into some sort of Carol-and-Abbey-but-still-living-together-for-now-and-potentially-with-sex radical queer friendship and it is I think going to be really good for both of us and really amazing. But just at this precise minute everything kind of hurts. Also it all kind of came to a head while I'm 2 continents away, so it is happening long-distance and there can't be any comforting cuddling for a couple months.
