[Then he should be even more relieved that he wrote that book so she could change her mind about it all!]
He's that house, and you're this one. One is all normality and idealized, romantic dreams made into reality, and the other is surprising and unknown and challenging, forcing you to grow even if it's terrifying. If, goodness forbid, it was a choice between me and this child, he'd probably save the child and you would save me. He needs to micromanage relentlessly, and you're fine as long as the overall devotion is yours.
[A waterfall and an ocean, but that sounds ridiculous so she doesn't say it.]
There's nothing wrong with any of those approaches, they're perfectly valid. It's trying to impose one on the other that makes it unbearable. He and I can have a 'married' kind of setup, but that's not right for you, it conflicts with your beliefs and it doesn't match how you and I have grown.
[Is she going in circles? She doesn't mean to.] You said that there's no such thing as one person knowing everything about another, and you're right. There's a quieter part of me that fits him, and there's a stronger part of me that fits with you. I don't feel unfulfilled because it's more private or a little quieter when that's the part of me that's mated to him.
[In fact ...... That's kind of what she'd constantly tried to get from Masaomi, so it actually works out really, really well.]
