    I know that’s an extreme comment but I couldn’t imagine being with someone where I have to be guarded or keep walls up, that’s really unhealthy.

      There is no reality where I would expose myself to that kind of abuse, because it is abuse. Anyone mocked for having emotions is being abused.

      I can’t speak for anyone else, but I would find far more contentment being alone and free to cry when needed than being afraid to show emotion around someone who is supposed to love and support me.

      I suppose I’m lucky to be with someone who has expressed satisfaction at the fact I don’t bottle up my emotions.

      If you can’t put down your arms with the people you love, it’s not true love
