Now that my rant is out of the way, and I apologize again for it being on your thread, lets get back to you a bit.
First off, for everyone to see right off the bat, I support you no matter what you decide to do, you know this.
Here's my thing, I just don't want to watch you hurt at all because you choose this method. So in accepting your choice to be "unconditionally loving" I want to know what you are going to work on for yourself in order to protect you from some of the personal hurts that go along with that. Because they do come buddy, I know you will accept them, but what are you doing to make that a process that you know ahead of time?
Rob is right, this choice that you have made is a very difficult one and requires incredible strength. Have yours ready, and have people that you can turn to to help prop you up as you fall a bit. You know I will always be there for you.....
Anyway, I will miss you my friend. I will miss our daily talks something fierce while I am gone. I hope that the next ten days are peaceful and quiet for you buddy.
Ben, good post, and I think you understood what I was trying to say about accountability as well. You have been a master lately at this stuff.
