The Fear of Running in the Social Circles of the Theater

I was about 30 before I had one, but I think that at that age, I was aware. So me 30 was what in the 70s for Christ's sake. Like I didn't take my lover's partner to work, obviously. But I think I thought if I run in the social circles of the theater, I can't because I thought it would hurt my career. And of course it would now. It might have then. In other case, I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it. I think it was something that I just ticked off the box. Don't go out in your theater world with a girlfriend. Of course I am nothing like the characters
