   I remain on good and speaking terms with the two exes in my longest term   
   relationships, both the ex-wife and ex-fiance. There have been some   
   girlfriends in the short term    
   afterwards and these relationships ended amicably also because they were never   
   meant to be long term.

   scandalous and quite banal. Suffice to say in the marriage I got into it too   
   young and therefore too immature. At the end of that relationship is when I   
   first encountered you on    
   Facebook. The next long term relationship was where I really grew and matured   
   but where I was also severely tested: having a partner with severe trauma and   
   illness is a challenge. That in itself was not the reason it didn't last but   
   it was the backdrop    
   for a host of mistakes, many mine, some hers.

   demon either Nima. I have seen aspects of you albeit through a digital filter   
   that are good. I don't    
   really disagree with your politics and I also don't disagree with your   
   position on psychedelics when used sacramentally. I don't quite understand   
   your ire to your religion of origin at this time but I do find your interest   
   in the Babi Azali tradition    
   interesting.   
      
   The religion of my origins is the Bayan/Twelver Shi'ism since bahaism is not a   
   religion at all but pure idolatry merely masquerading as one. Bahaism to me is   
   as the idol worship among the Arabs of the jahiliya in Hejaz in the period of   
   the commencement    
   of the Revelation of the Furqan to Muhammad (pbuh), the Messenger of God.
