@wirmgurl No, the love stays, it's just mixed with pain too now. I think it's a lot weirder to never have experienced a relationship with anyone else? Feels stunted. Unless you're poly, which would makes more sense, but feels like not?

@lisatomic5 It's always OK to hurt someone's feelings if they are an adult, you are kind about it, and it would improve their or your situation. Stick to honesty, don't be malicious. If you can't trust that someone can accept some hurt feelings, you are acknowledging they aren't an adult.
