[5:45 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: I'm sorry if I'm appearing passive - it's just occupying all of my focus to keep myself together.
[5:48 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: It feels like your replacement of me is almost complete. And I understand why you would want to.
[5:51 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: I just have been operating under the understanding for so long that we could go as far as we wanted as long as the emotional intimacy wasn't a part of it.
[5:55 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: It's probably a stupid idea for me to be holding a phone right now. Too many deleted paragraphs.
[5:56 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: I'm happy that you're finding what you need, even if it crossed a line.
[5:57 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: I guess that's all I should allow myself to say.
[6:08 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: it is not and has not been any attempt to replace you
[6:08 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: idk what to say really
[6:08 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: i didn't go looking for anything
[6:09 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: i'm sorry it hurts you, that was not my intention
[6:09 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: I know. It never is.
[6:10 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: And I know you didn't go looking, but I know you know when the water's getting deep.
[6:11 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: that's why i told you now, bc it's very very new and i wanted you to know
[6:12 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: i mean it's weird bc it's spank
[6:12 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: really
[6:12 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: bc we were already close i guess as friends?
[6:12 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: idk.
[6:12 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: I guess my point was more to the agreeing to recuse ourselves from emotionally intimate romantic relationships.
[6:13 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: that's what i was asking with the open relationship thing
[6:13 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: what are the boundaries
[6:13 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: now, i mean
[6:13 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: like at this stage and point in our relationship
[6:13 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: You asked after you crossed.
[6:14 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: but not really
[6:14 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: idk. i'm sorry, idk what to do here, i mean i can walk away from that aspect with spank and go back to just friends
[6:15 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: So there's been no emotionally intimate romantic relationship for the past week?
[6:15 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: And no, I'm not going to stand in the way of what you want.
[6:16 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: But I am telling you that this hurts me very greatly.
[6:16 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: i'm sorry
[6:17 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: There used to be a choice to open that box, but I don't believe there's any closing it for any of the three of us at this point.
[6:18 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: And like I said, I won't stand in the way of what you want.
[6:19 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: It doesn't seem like it would matter anyway.
[6:19 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: it would matter
[6:20 PM, 9/20/2018] Mike💕 Law: I have no desire to stop you.
[6:20 PM, 9/20/2018] Jess: but do you have a desire to stay with me?
