I think you can "love" someone without tolerating their nonsense. It's all about being willing to find a consensual way of interacting. Theoretically it may be impossible, but we can still try.

Ironically this is the whole 'love the sinner, not the sin' bit that Christians love to use to excuse their own intolerance.

Yeah, I think a lot of modern Christians are unaware of how masochistic and sadistic they really are. They get so hung up on the idea that they have a "get out of jail free" card that it justifies all the rest of their behavior, even when that behavior is explicitly called out in their manual lol

I have an ex who cheated on me. I'm not holding on to anger about it, I do honestly hope they've found happiness, but I want nothing to do with them again and if they showed up at my door I would tell them to leave.
