When you quote me, I'm going to assume you are addressing me. You asked me why I feel the need to correct people on their feelings of love. It would also be logical to assume that since you are taking the one side of the talking point that what you say in debate to my and others overall counterpoint would also mean you are speaking in part to me. So asking me why I feel the need to correct people and asking why Teach feels the need to judge would appear you have the same opinion of both of us and our points of view. Teach has quoted and agreed with my posts. What is said to one, in some respects, applies to the other. So as you can see, I'm not taking it personally. I'm debating a point in an open discussion. There is a difference.Jessica, I never said you can't have your own opinion about what love is. I never said you insulted anyone. (Others have, but you haven't that I've seen.) I never said that you judged me. (I said - in a reply to teach and not to you - that we shouldn't be judgemental.) You say that I'm the one who's taking this personally, but you're the one who thinks everything I say - even though I'm not replying to you - is directed to you. It isn't, Jessica. You're not in the background of every thought or opinion that I have. And when you say "you guys" I'm not sure what you mean. If you're including me as "you guys" - I've never said that I'm "in love" with an escort. I have said that emotional attachments are fine. I've said it's fine to have feelings for an escort you're regular with. I've said that I like to stick with one girl because I like the feel of a relationship without the commitment or drama of a relationship. And I've said that as long as proper boundaries are maintained and no harm is done then live and let live.
To be honest - it sounds to me like we agree on pretty much everything except that I have a less stringent definition of what love is than you do and I'm happy to discuss that and share opinions. But somehow you're finding a way to take offense and to interpret everything I say as a criticism of you. So, who's taking this personally?
I have already said I don't care what you do but based on your replies here to everyone, it really does appear that you are taking it personally. I'm only discussing the topic, you are telling people what they should be doing and invalidating their opinions because they don't coincide with your own. You have often said you are greatly emotional with your sessions. Not just in this thread. So as you can see, it is pretty clear who has a personal stake in this debate.
But again and honestly for the last time; I'm willing to agree to disagree. Have a wonderful day.
