Dear Sapnap3:

You are welcome. I am thinking that your mother’s conditional love for you must have been difficult to you, that you wished she loved you no matter what, that it wasn’t conditional. I hope you do find a better kind of love, one where another is okay with you no matter what.

If you would like to share more about this man’s doubts, his fears, please do. I wonder if any of it is valid in the context of the relationship with you, that is, if it is not all about his childhood that you mentioned.

*Will be back in about sixteen hours.
