You are right of course.. you both.. but it is possible that such devotion can be restrictive for one person..and i never said that we dont need relationships.. and i also know that it is only through contact that we learn more about ourselves.. become aware.. i am not denying that... i am only saying...according to me.. a healthy relation would be where there are no restrictions...but its only wishful thinking...or maybe possible between such like minds..
