Dear Daniel:

I am well, thank you for asking. You wrote that you wonder if romantic love really exists- yes it really exists and it brings lots of pleasure and lots of pain to a lot of people. If there was a way to weigh the pleasure vs pain caused by romantic love to the global population, I wonder what the results would be.

As far as the perks at home, the food, for one, and the feeling of Home vs. feeling independent and confident living on your own- I vote for the feeling independence and confidence. But I understand that the feeling of comforting food at a place where at times you felt comfort, is attractive.
