Oh, no, I would never tell anyone that! It's just something I'm thinking to myself. I've been thinking about how it's hard to relate but maybe the point is that I don't NEED to relate. Maybe just saying 'alright, that isn't my experience, but it's theirs and it's just as real to them as my relationship is to me' and leaving it at that is actually okay.
