“I am in a happy marriage, you know.”
I wonder why you say this. It is as if you are reminding me of something I already knew, or even warning me that there is a boundary there I cannot, should not cross. Did you think – did you think for a moment I would ever intend to break apart your marriage? Do you believe me morally capable of doing such a thing? Or is it rather that your feelings for me are more powerful than you would like, and you are as a consequence dumping some of your responsibility onto me? I wonder what made you have to remind of a fact that had always been so obvious to me: no matter how close I desire us to be, it seems distance will always be necessary.
