There is nothing proper about love.
We had a resident who was in love with a married family man all her life. She had many pictures with him. Yet she was the sweetest respectable proper woman what really went on I don’t know.
Another resident moved into the home with his wife when she had Alzheimer’s. He took care of her to the extent he could meaning they were both capable of living in self care unit. He was by her side through it all.
I love a man who is now married. We both love each other very much. But we had problems and were going in different directions to make a good life for each other.
We said goodbye before things got nasty and now are friends. I love him enough not to mess up his marriage. And I have the capability to do that he loves me enough to respect me and endeavor never to hurt me.
We connect communicate there is stilll chemistry we fight against. We know each other even enough to know we don’t know everything about each other though the temptation to try is there..
