Hey Dr C,
I’ve been thinking about your interpretation of relationship / marital tenets as of late and how they pertain to my understanding of marriages as being “countries w borders.” It made me think back to the last email I ever sent Greg and Jeff w some clarity and an air of prescient articulation.

The sole thing dividing our group’s ability to stay cohesive was that our marriages were based on fundamentally opposed relationship tenets – ours being based on parity and accountability (aka a democracy), theirs being a no-rules, may-the-strongest-man-do-whatever-he-wants kind of regime(aka fascism)

Or rather, their open country was forced to stop where our boundaries started — A borderline.

Below the letter, I had attached my wedding vows, my list to them of lines that shall ~not~ be crossed.

Anyway, you encouraged me to write some about my thoughts on borders, and I just remembered that, in my goodbye to them, I had.

See ya later 😀TK
