To me your R seems just about perfect. You both respect one another and talk to one another without assuming, reacting or getting upset.
I so wanted a relationship like that and I am soooo HAPPY for you that yours is there now!!!
Have a wonderful day and thank you for being a friend and inspiration, even though the R didn't work out you have helped me in my personal growth and development so very much.
