With the bolos they tethered modules together and made them do somersaults to create gravity. I don’t remember if they used existing modules or not. But you are correct. There were two tori connected to the ISS that had gravity. The ISS as a whole didn’t have artificial gravity.

I agree. I would love to read some short stories about the other survivors.

The last part is definitely a totally different story. I ended up really liking it though. It does get really technical about explaining some of the technology. But I thought it was really interesting the way he played with social and cultural evolution.

You should read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. ISS gets turned into a ship and they create artificial gravity. Great book. Underrated and underread.

And the moon blows up

I wouldn’t say it sounds horrible. Challenging not horrible. Mental illness is an explanation not an excuse. So you are allowed to be mad. If someone unintentionally hurts you then you are justified in still feeling hurt. We learn to live with a lot of regrets in life. To me this would be a big regret for him to live with. I don’t see how he could live with this regret and not be angry or resentful or even unfaithful. You sound like a good and loving couple, so it’s not easy to just say “break up.” But it feels like that’s what I want to say.

I don’t know what to tell you to do. But I will tell you not to continue a relationship forcing him to suppress his feelings. Do that and you can get married but you will also get divorced. I’m not bisexual but I imagine that if he doesn’t explore at least a little then you can never be certain of your relationship. Is it possible you can explore this together? Could you invite a guy to have sex with both of you? Maybe try swinging? I completely get it that you don’t want to be in an open marriage. But there are ways to keep the door closed but unlocked.

I stand corrected and dumbfounded

In the US this is illegal in many (if not most) places. This is sexual assault. I hope that’s a dealbreaker for you, but that’s really your decision. I hope you pursue some legal recourse because he could do this to someone else.
