Only Human with Joan Axelrod-Contrada: Sometimes path toward love leads to mensch - GazetteNET

"People need to rise up, not be passive."

A weaker man might have walked away, but Fred came back for more. Something stared me in the face: The Big Bad Future.

How could I be dating a guy with a perfectly manicured lawn who wanted to spend winters in Florida and didn't share my love of books? Visions danced in my head of Fred and me blissfully reading and writing our lives away while Rick frolicked by the pool with The Other Woman. No matter how many times soothsayers hailed the benefits of living in the present, I needed the promise of a rosy future to throw myself into the here and now.

Still, I'd spent over 30 years with a fellow reader and writer. What did the future hold?

In her chapter, "Taking Stock," Kasl addresses issues of compatibility.

The future these days is tasting like my favorite butterscotch sundae on maple walnut ice cream with a cherry on top.
