- But, you see, my ideal relationship is a relationship between two
- individuals who retain their own individuality and the responsibility
- for their own decisions while still being emotionally committed. You
- can be a partner and still be a person; I would expect someone in such
- a relationship to tell her SO about such things and solicit his/her
- advice, but the decision itself still should be hers.

- in business or romance, I don't generally get involved with
