Hi anita,

Thank you for responding. You wrote ‘love is patient’. That really struck me. I have been impatient with her at times, I guess. Does that mean I don’t love her? I have often been impatient with the people I claim to love, like my parents, or my siblings. Does that mean I don’t really love them? I’m not trying to disagree, I just really want to know what you meant. Because it made sense – ‘love is patient’, yet I was not. I kept demanding answers from her – to stay, or to leave. Am I an impatient man? Or do I not know what love is?
