CRFH comments

[bladespark]

For once I have a comment on the current CRFH strip. I'm not putting it on the boards becuase I just don't feel like joining what I'm sure is a heated debate and argument, so I'll just say it here:

I always identified with Dave, rather than with any of the girls. Or at least I always used to. But as the story progressed I found myself being just a touch annoyed with him. Partly it was because he's been a bit spineless at times... but there was more that I coudln't quite pin down. Today, seeing Margaret's calm response to Dave and Blue's apparent situation, it suddenly dawned on me. I've been where Margaret is right now, in almost exactly the same position, and I felt almost exactly the same way! The thing that was annoying me about Dave is that he was acting like a couple of guys that have dated me and refused to leave me alone when I indicated that things wouldn't work. So now, despite the fact that I have no interest in guns (though a healthy fascination with sharp and pointy things) I find I suddenly identify with Margaret.

It's one of the hardest and also most annoying things in the world to have somebody who loves you, and all you can do back is break his heart...

It is hard indeed. Though I don't know who has it worse.

And yes, it's a healthy fascination. Yes, yes indeed. *grin*

It's probably too late for anybody to read this...

..but that's one thing I never really got about you? Why is it you think love absolutely has to go the route of marriage?

There are many people whom I love (yes, you included), but with whom I know there's no chance of anything ever working in the direction of marriage, or even just sex.

This is not a problem, and I don't feel bad at all that we'll never be together in that way, although my life would be a bit happier if you released me from soome of the foolish promises I made back when I thought otherwise.

Love doesn't automatically equal a physical relationship, nor does it mean that I'm hurt because you don't return the feeling.

I've just realized that I'm rambling in front of everybody, so I'll stop now. But if you read this, think about it for a while, Steph. There are many kinds of love, and most of not only don't require a physical relationship, but the love would be damaged if it ever became physical.

And I'm not just saying that because my wife has been known to check up on what I'm doing, either. ;)
