I ALMOST didn't read @jessicabennett's piece about @NYGovCuomo's ex girlfriend. Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of exes talking about their ex-partners publicly ...

I've learned — the hard way — not to write (or perform one-woman theater shows) about my love life ... or when/if it ever makes sense to do so, anonymize the hell out of the men involved.

I got caught and called out about that. I'll share a few personal stories about that on #SexualHealth and #Covid_19 this Tuesday.

Learning. Growing. Maturing. We all are.

So, I read @jessicabennett's piece anyway (because I'm following #Covid_19 ... not @NYGovCuomo's love life).

Glad I did.

I love this gem in @jessicabennett's piece: 💎 "We share a home, we share children, we share friendship," [Sandra Lee] said of [@NYGovCuomo]. "I will protect him and be there for him until the day I die."

If one is going to talk about their ex, doing it with the utmost class is just ...

True story: When I'm dating someone — especially if they have a public-facing persona ( ... like, I dunno, regularly appear on TV or something??? ... ), I don't even mention to anyone outside of very close friends that we're dating until at least several months in.
