You gained respect for yourself with your behavior last week. Communication is now constructive, even when very difficult issues are raised. There seems to be enough love. Love is a solvent, but it can also be a binder. Love is simply the solution if it is sincere and not about other things (pride, prestige, dependence). Pure love is rather rare to find, even if we think we have already found it. By the way, it is high time for a well-deserved compliment.
What the fuck you were thinking?
