Jayleigh asked me the other day "How do you feel about Othello?" Plain and simple, I said "I love him." Then J lamented how I never said that about M.W.... only that "I respect him" and she thought it was droll and boring and stupid of me.
Even though M.W. was actually not my love of a lifetime... it's important for everone to have a love that they respect. Now, while I do respect Othello.... I love him just as much and want to be his partner and want him to be mine. It's not all about respect. We're friends. We're in love. Hearts and flowers and motor-scooters everywhere!
So while Jayleigh is relieved that I don't characterize my current relationship as mainly "respect-driven".... everybody needs respect. I didn't respect Nelson whatsoever. We need to have respect for our loved ones or ... shit, we got nothin'!
