-- Thanks, Mara. -- For me, being willing to go to hell for someone I care about is pretty literal. Anything less than that feels like a piece of cake. -- I know that when it comes to dealing with whatever she goes through, it's completely worth it. It doesn't even bother me, usually, except that I don't enjoy seeing her in pain. -- I definitely prefer dealing with the idea of losing her to someone else than not having her in my life at all, for instance. -- And it gets to me a little bit, but I think it'd be harder on her if the positions were reversed. Since she's had worse experiences with being left or cheated on. -- It's a good thing we don't have the same insecurities, or I don't think we'd work nearly so well.
-- And you know, there aren't many people I talk to about this stuff, either. So thanks for that, too.
