Subject: There has always been one consistent Cautionary Tale in Literature, Theater, Movies ... TV, whatever. A CENTURIES old caution. When a person is involved in a "close" friendship with another person while they are in a relationship ... well, it always ends in tears. People who think otherwise ... people who think they have some kind of "right" to engage in outside relationships because they are "platonic" are fools. Stupid. Self centered. It IS a betrayal on many levels. And ... if ANY marriage counselor would condone this kind of dynamic ... especially the kinds that Meg has rubbed in Paul's face over and over again ... when he told her it hurt him? That marriage couselor is UNFIT to deal with the underpinnings of human emotion.
In reply to: tat statler 's message, "Exactly, TK! I just shake my head over the idea that a man is irrational and jealous because he would have misgivings over his partner having a close relationship with another man. It's not about trust ... it's about COMMON SENSE. I'd be interested to know how women ... fictional and real ... would HONESTLY feel about their man being in a very "close" friendship with another woman. Especially if she is very attractive. Heh. Because sexual attraction is ALWAYS the elephant in the room. It's human nature. AND ... even if a woman trusts her man ... can she also trust the other woman? Hmmm?" on 04:14:41 04/09/09 Thu
