“He is the person I call when I need the truth and a plate of food. He will not perform for a stranger. That is why this has to be real.”
Sam, sister

Ellis, friend

Chicago, IL · 34 · Week on / week off
The marriage ended. I am still standing. Some nights I am scared of the quiet. I cook too much. I walk the lake. I want a serious partner — someone who wants me, not a vacancy to fill. I can go slowly.
Kids, carefully
I have a child some of the weeks. They are not on this site, not in photos, and not up for conversation with strangers. If we get somewhere real, you'll meet the life — not a profile.
Looking for
A lasting partnership
Something on the stove that takes longer than it should. A walk if the weather allows. If I have my kid: grilled cheese, homework at the table, early bed. The point is the ordinary.
That I am fine all the time. The marriage ending hurt. I still want someone. Those can both be true.
Quietly, and then all at once. I remember how you take your coffee. I show up when I say I will. I am trying to give warmth, even when I am lonely.
