What specifically about this post made you embarrassed or changed your mind?

Also, love that skirt in the photo.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I was wondering the same thing. It seems like a sweet note about their plans once she gets home. I find it romantic.

Not OP, but to me this comment reads a lot like a guy who wants to show off with his hot wife. "See this hottie here? Yeah, I'm tapping that. In fact I'm going to spend the next two days tapping that, just so you know."

oh wow i didn't even know that there was that much of an age difference between them. he aged pretty well

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
He's 15 years older than her. Which isn't nothing, but it's kind of ... unusual to see a woman in her mid-30s be described as too young for a middle-aged man. She's plenty grown up, you know?

Hmm. I'm kinda embarrassed for anyone talking about their sex life on a public forum, because I'm kinda a prude, but I don't see how it screams mid-life crisis? He thinks his wife is hot and wants to have sex with her. That's nice. I really didn't need to hear about it, but that's nice.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
This. I'd feel the same even if they were the exact same age. It's like excessive PDA - there's a point where it stops looking like you're doing it for yourself and starts looking like you're doing it for other people to see.

Eh, he could mean in a romantic sense where he wants the two of them to spend several days together, going out to places, and just relaxing in general without publishers/agents bothering them or tumblr people spamming his inbox about possible inactivity vs "WE'RE TOTES GONNA HAVE SEX FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT."

IDK. *shrugs*

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. I've been in relationships with a lot of traveling and as much as I enjoyed sex when they got back I usually just pulled away from internet and work and such when they got back just because I missed them and wanted to spend quality romantic time together. Sex involved? Yup. But mostly just... them. I read it like that with Neil here too.

I wouldn't call it mid-life crisis, just oversharing. Like, tmi and no one is jealous of you, Gaiman.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Am I alone in reading that post and not thinking "OMG SEX SEX SEX"? He missed her, and sure I'll bet there'll be some sex but he might also mean he's shutting down everything because he genuinely missed her and wants to spend quiet time alone with her separated from the pressure of media. Cuddling and watching TV, meals, talking, all of those things could be stuff he's looking forward to doing again.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't see how that's embarrassing at all. Unless any personal blog is somehow embarrassing to you.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's great he loves his wife (and I think he really does) but I always get contact embarrassment when people give out details of their private relationships. It's especially bad for me when it's sexual or even hints that it might be, which this really comes off as.

[personal profile] transcriptanon 2013-07-28 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Picture is a tumblr post reblogged by the writer Neil Gaiman. It's a black and white picture of Gaiman's wife, the musician Amanda Palmer. She has dark hair pulled up and pale skin. She is wearing a black bra and a dark layered skirt. She has her arms raised upwards and slightly bent, with her hands meeting above her head. She has her back half-turned to the camera and is looking at the camera over her shoulder.

Beneath the photo is the text from the original post by "apvy": "I LOVE this woman". It was then reblogged by "amandapalmer" with the text: "old skool! photo by pixie, skirt by skin graft" and then finally reblogged by "neil-gaiman" with the text: "At 6:30 tonight I pick up this woman from the airport. And then I am going offline. No tumblr, twitter, email, texts. Nuffink, for at least 36 hours. Just so you know. In case you were wondering." It has 1,236 notes (the total number of "reblogs" and "likes").]

I always assumed the comments about his marriage to a much younger woman being a mid-life crisis thing were just jealous haters talking UNTIL THIS POST. Even I feel embarrassed for him now.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not a huge follower of Gaiman, but it seems to me that people take his personal life with Amanda way too seriously. He's happy where he is no matter how uncomfortable you feel as a fan and if he wants to flaunt it every once in a while, he's well within his rights. Moaning on and on about it is absolutely pointless.

[personal profile] arcadiaego 2013-07-28 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Why? I'm not a fan of hers in particular but it's nice to see a couple that talk about how much they care for each other. Also you can't really care much about either seeing as Gaiman at least has said things like this much more than once before.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-28 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It's maybe a little TMI, but I'm not the sort of person who cares whether or not I get TMI details about other people's relationships; mostly I just like knowing that other people are happy.

I do think that the degree to which people (in general) think details like this are TMI depend on who they're about -- imagine if the couple in question were popular among the RPF crowd; Tumblr would explode.

...Then again, is there much het RPF, or "canon" RPF (i.e. couples who are together IRL)? I don't actually know, but I mostly hear about the slash pairings.

I hate how rapey that sounded. Like she has no say in this? He's going to pick up a woman, and fuck her. That's that. Consent? No, didn't you read my tumblr? Now shut up and get on your knees, sweatheart.

Fuck him

what bugs me about this is that Neil Gaiman has been oversharing on the internet for OVER A DECADE but suddenly when he does it about Amanda Palmer people decide he's embarrassing them. This is how he writes about everyone in his life, every author he cares about, even his PETS, but god forbid he write about his marriage.

Am I the only person here who doesn't find it embarrassing at all if interpreted as totally being about having sex for 1.5 days straight? I neither care if two people have sex that long nor if they publicly announce their intention to do so. It's his blog so if he wants to talk about his sex life he can.

I mean, he's basically saying that he finds her gorgeous, he's proud of her, and that he is looking forward to spending a day and a half with her and only her. How is that supposed to be embarrassing?
