This is a translation table partially for my benefit and partially for yours. Think of it like a cast of characters for you. For me, it removes these people’s names from my web site, which permits me to avoid conflating me and them. Otherwise, I’d be showing up in a Google search together with them. I don’t want to be associated with some of them ever again, especially one in particular who has a relatively high profile, having been in TV and done some work by name on Amazon. The fact she also has a criminal record now (post-relationship) isn’t helpful either. Want to stay a million miles away from that.
My fuzzing up things probably won’t hide from any of them that I am writing about them. It’s just no one else will ever know. Since I have substituted names for everyone involved that isn’t dead and fuzzed up the dates a bit, it’ll help me keep things straight.
I keep listing dates…ye gods, so many of them. I guess i’m being picky at last.
Characters: Girlfriends/Wives
- Gina - First real girlfriend in high school. She's dead so i'm leaving her name alone
- Eleanor - First sexual partner/girlfriend in 1987-88 - an alcoholic
- Patti - Brief girlfriend in 1990 or so. Very oral.
- Mary/Marina - First wife, from 1994-2001, with bipolar disorder. Never got over being married, fuck buddy off and on until 2011 or so, last incident 2022
- Alexia/Cathy - Girlfriend in 1999, from CA, some kind of depression
- Tiffany - Girlfriend from 1999-2002, live-in until 2003
- Vivian - Tiffany's bisexual friend and fuck buddy in 2003
- Insloan - Woman from Chicago, 2001-2003
- Darlene - Girlfriend from 2002 to 2007, stalker for a while after that, from GA. She had some kind of personality disorder, perhaps multiple personalities. Probable narcissist.
- Bethanie - Slashdot chick, just flirty really, phone calls and a kiss
- Debra/Salty - On and off girlfriend from 1999 to 2008, from British Columbia. Had a traumatic brain injury that affected her memory, and most probably an alcoholic
- Jolene - fuck buddy from PA in 2005-2006

- Analie - Girlfriend from 2008-2014, Second wife from 2014-2022, from MN. Narcissist, opioid addict and alcoholic
- Leah - Girlfriend from Upstate NY - 2012 - The one that got away. Best woman I ever dated, but went back to Analie.
- Ms. Brooks - 2017 - Some woman that got famous for being in a DUI in Massachusetts with a football player rescuing her from the overturned car. I came over to her place and fucked her, and then regretted it and got myself tested for every STD in the books. I was really hard up at the time, apparently. Analie really wasn't a very good wife... Turned out I hadn't caught anything.
- Fuck Buddy from Baltimore - 2017-18 - Another test to make sure Analie was the problem, not me. She wasn't super pretty.
- At least 3 women from 2020-22 - during COVID. Analie was next to useless during this time frame and didn't want sex unless she was drunk.
- Emily - Girlfriend from Frederick, MD 2022 - alcoholic, first post-Analie gf. What a great lay - I wish I had been in a state to appreciate how good it was to fuck her.
- Angela - Girlfriend from near Baltimore, 2022. Manipulator, hit me up for money almost immediately.
- Donna - Girlfriend from near Baltimore, 2022. Therapist, first decent woman I dated since the early 2000s. She'd get horny and sit on my lap with her legs wrapped around me. It was heavenly. I miss her.
- Amanda - Girlfriend from near Baltimore, 2023. Anti-Trump NPR listener, insistent on her views. I did get my cat Milo from her, so let's remember her fondly.
- Phil - Girlfriend from near Baltimore, 2023. Has some issues, hoarder, slob, probable codependent
- Danielle - Girlfriend from near Baltimore, 2023. Some kind of personality disorder.
- ...leaving out a couple dozen at least because I can't remember the names or they aren't significant.
- Emma - August 2023 - Used me as her rebound guy. Pretty shitty.
- Grace, a stunning looking Nigerian woman - August 2023 - She seemed to have trouble with relational closeness. That's why I broke it off. Oh, also the sex was not very hot, though she was physically near-perfect and had a beautiful face.
- Lubna - August 2023 - Palestinian woman, a doctor, who had a chip on her shoulder about a lot of things. Didn't last long.
- Cynthia - Late Summer 2023 - I was really hogging it here. I couldn't stand how bad looking she was. Color me superficial. At least I didn't hit that.
- Victoria - Late Summer 2023 - Seriously not ready for a relationship, all she could talk about was the past, but probably wouldn't have been into me even if she was ready.
- Eva - Economist from DC - late 2023. One of my finer moments. She was unready for a relationship. I let her down as easy as I could. Super pretty but just not the right time.
- Sharan - 2023 - Just basically a fuck buddy. There was no deeper content
- Elaine - From PA/NJ, 2023. Breast cancer survivor, beautiful, double mastectomies, now facing cervical cancer, lacked room for a relationship in her recovery. First time I had real feelings for someone since Analie.
- Yvonne - late 2023 - from North Carolina - probably an alcoholic. Random, angry contacts, I soon blocked her.
- Teri - Late 2023 - Veterinarian, had had so long of a single lifestyle, I don't think she can commit. Common problem.
- Angie - late 2023 - Example of an unrecovered codependent. I couldn't deal with it.
- Audra - Dec 2023 - Lithuanian antisemite
- Christine - Dec 2023 - Not smart enough. Intimidated by me, happens a bit.
- Teresa - Jan 2024 - No worky
- Maya - Jan 2024 - Didn't even date
- Stacey - Jan 2024 - Dated a few times. Big weed fan. Turned me off.
- Lina - Jan 2024 - This is an interesting one. Found out she was a murderer. This _wasn't_ the reason I broke up with her, but it was probably related to why I was grossed out by her ultimately.
- Jolene - June 2024 - Doesn't want to be mentioned on the site, so i'm carefully abiding by that by using an alias.
- Analie - June-August 2024 - The second coming. Lots to say about this. She has picked up crack in a big way in the interim. Ugh.
- Maddy - August 2024 - From New Zealand originally. Interesting so far. Probably not a match.

I feel quite certain i’ll have to add additional characters as time goes on. These events were more or less real, but some details are probably not entirely 100% accurate. The mind plays tricks with enough time. I tried to be as faithful to the facts as possible.
And yeesh, I look at the list of women and realize my number is higher than I thought. And I haven’t even included about three dozen minor players, some of whom I can’t even remember their names. I suppose if I am substituting, it hardly matters. Just more characters.
