I have read about a lot of anguish, hope, tales of dastardly deeds by TG g/fs etc on this forum.

At times it has made me question my own relationship which has been an expensive exercise for me but nothing I can't afford.

But WTF. I am realistic. I realise that my g/f has to keep in contact with other falangs in case this realtionship goes belly up.

I don't loose sleep at night wondering if she is faithful. She tells me that she is and that is good enough for me.

I have other friends, other pursuits, other hobbies etc and my g/f is just another part of the day to day challenges of my life.

I can turn the whole thing around and look at it from her point of view. Once you can do this you will be more relaxed about your relationship.

The Western World doesn't really have the "loss of face" thing but we do have "I am a dickhead". However, once you realise this, you can move on and no-one really cares if you are one as long as you aren't one all the time.

So, anguished sponsers, boyfriends, lovers etc enjoy this little bit of excitement in your life. Many people in this world don't have a life nearly as interesting as you do.
