Are you going to miss the "L word" ?

I loved that the L Word gave a voice to Lesbians as a community. I do not pay for a lot of the cable channels that show gay-friendly media. Did I like the L word. Yes, I did, but there were times where it was too much for me. It was unlike real life as they always made something dramatic happen, which, as a therapist, I avoid drama in my life. I had hoped that I had made enough progress in my personal development that I would like peace in my life.

I certainly enjoyed the attractive people and loved to think of them as lesbians, even though
in real life, most were not. I do wish I had a community that size that I could connect with on a daily basis at the coffee shop. How about you? I would love that communication. My personality is such that I enjoyed Dana, the tennis player. Sometimes I could not watch it because it would get really dumb - How did you feel about Jenny? She drove us all nuts - I guess she did her job as an actress.

My partner isn't too crazy about the show because everyone is hopping into bed with other people. I really like to believe the best of people and relationships. Can people - women - be monogamous and long - term in their relationships. I want to believe yes. I haven't accomplished that yet as I was married for 13 years and had children. I was single for a long time so as not to bring people into my children's lives if it didn't work out.

How about you? Do you believe in long-term monogamy in the lesbian community??
