what to do when friends you love a lot tell you your love for a man isn't a good idea??? arg.
Arg, indeed. I've had mixed experiences with that. Sometimes it's turned out they've been quite right, and it wasn't something I was ready or willing to see at that point. Other times they've been weighing the relative merits and drawbacks differently than I do -- they've often been right about the drawbacks, but assuming that their views on the relative weights of those matched mine, when they didn't.
