– I feel more disturbed when she moves closely with her own family and male friends.
But I don’t feel that way about her being close to XYZ, because he is close to me as well (“like a brother”)!
(I think I might not even be that upset if she has a sexual affair…!? 🙃)
– I see how ABC does not get into any serious intellectual/spiritual/ethical discussions when with friends in a casual setting.
He only engages in weightless humor and harmless fun, although in a professional setting he is quite the perfectionist!
How do we understand this kind of behavior?
He has given up on true passion and has substituted that vacuum with diligent performance!
So pathetic and tragic……!
I wish and hope he will get out of this (deadly and convenient) rut, and I want to help if I could.
– I’m much more sentimental than I would like to believe! 😐
– I don’t mind if women are frivolous, but I despise silly men!

“>” could mean both “more” and “other”!

You feel like shit, but you also are not able/willing/ready to do what it takes to get out of the rut…… It seems like the medicine is worse than the disease.
