I'm extremely skeptical of the use of the word "is" to describe anything as subjective as love or relationships. I promise you, my relationship with lurkette "IS" objectively quite different from the vast majority of relationships, but it's created, you know? We devised a set of agreements and lifestyle choices that work for us, and it's ours. There are people who would say it's "wrong", that love "shouldn't" look like that. But fuck that--people who are so busy worrying about how love should be, how it is or isn't... I suspect they spend more time theorizing than they do actually living their lives.
