As for not respecting a man who would "pick up and move" for a woman. Men
have launced legendary battels, over a woman. Men kill other men, over a
woman. So; "picking up and moving" , if the man really likes you, isn't
exactly a whim. It would be a thought-out 'very big deal'. But, still, not
as big a deal as war or manslaughter. Like I said before, you seem to be
doing just fine, alone ...............bobford
