Puppy: Well, this is ONE "somebody here" that doesn't agree with this -- at all. There is no compassion here. Would it kill you to say a simple "thank you" to her? That's just a common courtesy, that we extend to each other as fellow human beings, much less to the mother of your children.. But to not say simple "thank-you"s or "goodbye"s or whatever, or to hug a fellow human being who is hurting . . . can you not separate the sin from the sinner?
Puppy, I think I'm the biggest hardhead on this site, I don't want to be her friend, I don't want to be her confidant, she has OM to complain to, she has OM shoulder to cry on. I don't like to see anyone cry but I don't think it's appropriate for me to have any contact with her physically or emotionally
How can you separate the sin from the sinner if the sinner keeps sinning, where do you draw the line.
If you think I should show her some compassion, I can still save the day I need to call her to confirm something for tomorrow, I could ask how she is doing and say I'm sorry that she is having such a hard time - it just doesn't feel right, I'm not her friend
