Thanks Val. I guess one thing I'm also keeping in mind is I am not trying to be punitive, spiteful, vindictive, or even selfish by my actions. With love having so many flavors, it makes thinking this through a little tricky. I don't think unconditional love means being a doormat, though. Heck, I didn't even feel like I was issuing punishment. I was just not doing her a favor.
