ORIGINAL: mp072004 First, Julia, thank you for your intelligent, civil discussion of a rather touchy topic. It sounds like you and the man described in your message enjoy one another, and in a vague way, I'm glad that you do. You note that you have similar values, and I agree that it's much easier to allow another person to make decisions when those decisions are close to the ones you would make anyway. You write that you choose to do as the man in your life says because you want to. That's fairly clear, you sound like a smart, capable person, and your history, as you described it, indicates that you don't need a surrogate to have a desirable life. You seem happy with the decisions that you have made thus far, and, as far as I can tell, you would be capable of continuing to determine your own actions. Would you explain why you want to abide by the decisions of your partner? Monica Because I want to, that is all I can say, I really just want to.
