I commend your timing; I too have been wondering about this sort of thing. I have always been of the opinion that it is better to care for no one except oneself. In my line of work especially, it is unwise to trust anyone. And yet, recently I have found myself doing just that - caring about another person. I have no explanation for this, and it's very troubling. If I were anywhere near as intelligent as I like to think I am, I would break off the relationship before these feelings became any stronger. But it is... difficult to do so.
[anon forever]
Am I to assume you are in a similar situation?
