Thank you so very much for sharing that with me!
Thank you for giving me a better perspective. I get so confused about what would be "right and wrong". I appreciate your point of view very much. It helps!

I hadn't thought about the betrayal aspect. That's very important. I wouldn't want to do that. Now I'm really embarrassed...ashamed for even thinking about it.

You say your friends just keep talking when the "switch" happens. Is that OK? Is there something else you'd rather they do?
