Is not true love, accepting someone for their faults, accepting them for who they are and loving them anyway?


My answers to both of your questions would be "Yes . . . IF you are okay with it, and can maintain a loving attitude about it." I often don't hear/feel that from you, and -- I would add -- rightfully so.

Put differently, I think it's OK if YOU are okay with it -- REALLY okay, and not just "I'm OK with this because, I dunno, SHOULDN'T I BE?????"

Does that make ANY sense???

Put a 3rd way: I don't think there's anything wrong with being authentic, and saying this bothers you, in one of the ways that BA suggested. But don't NOT say it, simply because you're thinking "Oh, I shouldn't feel this way!" . . . and then build up a bunch of resentment about it towards her.
