The idea that this all will hurt somehow is not exactly heartening but it doesn't dissuade him either.]
Some of that does sound like him. We had a similar conversation some ways back. About enjoyment of pleasure, not love, but he made similar arguments on certain points.
You've given me a lot to consider. I appreciate you sharing your perspective, thank you.
Anything to help. For me, this is the worst thing about Duplicity, is not being able to reconcile with loved ones far away. Granted I've dealt with loss of autonomy and institutionalized brutality for most of my life, so I do hope that's not the same for everyone. Doesn't make it any less hard even if it's not the worst thing, though.
I hope you come to a conclusion you can be satisfied with, Kim. Please let me know if you need another perspective again.
