I appreciate what she brings to the table in terms of being a calm to MY mental storm, since I've spent years "in the trenches of the info war" and it can certainly be overwhelming and taxing at times.

I definitely feel that loneliness sometimes, a year ago more so, but I'm mostly a solitary guy. Though she helps me reconnect with my humanity and human spirit rather than be lost in the fog of an info war... And thus paradoxically keeps me engaged in it since I feel I have something concrete and immediately tangible and human to fight for.

I'm happy for you that you have a good woman in your life, who is helpful in this regard (and in many others, I am sure). It really IS true that a a connection like this completes us, makes us in some ways into a single organism, and lightens the load for both partners. That's one reason it takes so much malicious propaganda to sell the idea of non-heterosexuality: nature's way (God's way, if you prefer) is what we are made for, and when we get it right it's a serious blessing.
