Earth to nobody. Moral compass to nobody.
Daddy/Mommy/SomeParentalFigureYouLove&Respect to nobody!
Did you say "she doesn't necessarily need to know"?
While that's true, *you* will know. *He* (your branded
non-partner-partner) will know. And... there's a /chance/ that your
monumental and significant event will just be an ugly scar. Even if it
turns out beautifully.
Loves like that and the human conscience is like that. Sometimes
anyway.
Years ago, I found out my live-in girlfriend had someone on the side
(and the bottom, the top, the Kama Sutra position number 1400a, etc.)
and that feeling, uh, was not a good one. Perspective is a mahfah and,
unfortunately, I also know the guilt associated with being on the other
side of that relational coin, too.
Perhaps you're like that random Jamaican dude I spoke to at the gas
station.
Me: "Hey, did you ever have a woman leave you?"
RJD: "Leev me? No, I nevah have one leev me. Dat nevah hoppen. I leev
dem."
Me: "Never mind."
Hey, you take your free therapy where you find it.
What I'm trying to say, perhaps unsuccessfully, is that maybe you're
that person who's never felt heartache or suffered consequences/felt
guilt for your relationship choices.
No one likes a busybody, but I'll make the statement regardless of that
truism: Do not brand your friend.
