And now to take this discussion off into another tangent, well, actually two here. (darn, neither one is about sex!)

With the MLCer going through some sort of identity crisis and I would think that we really won't know what they will be like in the end, and could even be a totally different person than the one we fell in love w/. Who will know if we will really want them back when they come out of their crisis?

Other tangent. I know this is totally against the dbing philosophy, but how would we really show our WAS unconditional love w/o any ILY's? Is it possible to say 'I still love you' in a kind caring manner w/o applying any pressure that we want an R? And could this be something they need to have confirmed every now and then to leave our door open to reconciliation? Or should we just remain in the detached mode?

Sorry, too many thoughts going through my head. I'll quit thinking now......or maybe just think about sex?
