I disagree. Losing "respect" or "regard" for someone is not just a "simple" matter.
I think we're arguing symantics here, though.
I mean...I try to treat everyone with respect.
But I would have to trust someone and respect them on an entirely different level before I'd be willing to marry them. There are plenty of people I like and respect - to keep using that word - but who I couldn't possibly be partners with for life.
Does that make sense, kinda sorta?
