A) WOuld u hang your bank statements on the kitchen wall and when someone walks in say – “I didnt have u in mind at the time.”?
C’mon… you’re not actually equating an “I love you” with a bank statement, are you? If a stranger comes into my home and sees my bank statement, there is the potential for identity theft. No such problem exists with an “I love you” on the fridge.
Why is it not enough for you are your wife to cover your bedroom walls with love notes. I assume your kids are allowed in your bedroom so they would see it there.
Your assumption is wrong. Our kids do NOT go into our bedroom unless explicitly invited (which is very rare).
WHy does your love and relationship have to hang all over your kitchen.
You make it sound like our entire relationship is on display. It’s not. Our relationship is quite deeper than simple love notes. There’s a certain amount that we allow to be public and a certain amount that is private. I’m sorry if where we chose to draw the line offends you. I’ll be sure not to invite you to my home.
B) Athletes and actors perform their talents in public for benifit of others. They entertain. Are you putting out love notes as a source of entertainment for your neighbors and friends?
No, it’s not for entertainment. But that’s not the issue. You maintained that people exhibit things because they are unsure of themselves. I believe that I have refuted that. And, even if you hold my example of athletes and actors invalid, what about other examples I gave, such as photography. I don’t take photographs to entertain, but I do enjoy showing them. Does that make me (and lots of other photographers, artists and the like) unsure of themselves?
Love notes in the open, and openly speaking about personal relationships is CHEAP.
Again, I don’t believe it to be so. I believe that a certain amount of openness is not inappropriate. Again, you may choose to comport with your wife as if she were simply your roommate in public or even within your home outside of your bedroom. But that’s your choice and if that’s what you want, then all the more power to you. But don’t seek to force your relationship choices on others.
