General Discussion

...for a situation I was unable to manage alone.

Before I met my wife I had many unhappy relationships that ended in a conversation, sometimes psychologically hurtful (in either direction) but never, ever, in situations involving physical distress.

One of my ex-girlfriends was a gay woman exploring heterosexuality, perhaps for business reasons. I really liked her, almost to the point of falling in love, but the reason I gave up on it was that her circle of friends, all gay women, could not refrain from discussing men as evil caricatures. They did this in my presence, and I took it, correctly I think, as an expression of personal contempt for my presence.

I don't believe I know any men, unless I'm missing something, who would do such a thing.

I love my wife more than I will ever be able to express in words, but I wouldn't need such love as that to assure the safety of a mere acquaintance in such a setting.
