Your partner cannot fault you for refusing to host a perpetual-motion party or for the fact that you must sleep and will eventually die.

I'm pretty sure there's no sexuality that justifies constant low-level harassment.

You can care very much about someone without being capable of becoming their primary caregiver in the event of their parents' untimely death.

Knowledge of death is the beginning of wisdom.

If just one person touches you without your permission, stepping back and saying clearly, "Please don't touch me" should get them to stop.

There's simply no way you can tell a woman you work with that you disapprove of her relationship with her adult child, no matter how much you think it would be better for him to move out.

You are allowed to draw lines even if your feelings are irrational. Part of the marvelous business of being an adult human is that you get to set your own boundaries for whatever reasons you like, without appending a sensible rationale to them.
