The (Cyber)Elephant in the Room
Here is one last thing that I think is in the background of the conversation but that nobody is bringing up. Do we think, perhaps even subconsciously (whatever that means), that a relationship is only real if we can physically touch someone else, including kissing or sex? In other words, does a relationship require physical sex in order to be "real"?

I am someone that definately believes that a relationship can only actually become real when people can physically touch each other. So in my mind, Alexis and Craig's relationship only became real when they first met in New York. I don't know about other people, but I could never consider myself in a romantic relationship until we had some sort of physical contact.
ReplyDeleteNope, touching isn't required. What about all of those "loveless" marriages? They're married, so their relationship is "real."
