[ she can't even bring herself to use voice for this - just sending this message out in general is already embarassing enough, but she can't think of it by herself, so.. have some written text, Luceti. ]

So, let's say there's a person who did a lot for you, and even though you still can't really take it in you feel like you should at the very least try to do something back for them in return. Since it's only natural, and maybe you want to show you care as well or whatever. Something like that.

But all the things they did are so big combined that you can't even start to think of something that would be big enough or of equal value to give in return. So.. what should you even do in a situation like that?

... Purely hypothetical, I mean.

......

This is stupid.

I think it makes it easier, though. That person probably wouldn't expect anything in return either, except your happiness and appreciation. If it was me I would just make sure they know too that I care for them a lot.

[At least you know he cares about you, Ange. She can't be that sure with her own man, she doesn't even know if she really cares about him to begin with.]

Why not just bluntly tell them? Some men tend to work better with the direct approach.

"I'm afraid he might take it the wrong right way."

There, I fixed it for you. Because, hypothetic or not, that's how this whole situation reads to me.

Maybe you're just laying out the situation wrongly, judging from how other people have answered.

You should explain the situation better and clearer then, to avoid people being confused.

Wasn't it an hypothetic situation, though?

Even if you don't reveal the identity of the participants, explaining things properly is the only way to get proper advice, don't you think? If I just told you that my car doesn't work, without any other explanation, wouldn't you end forced to just give partial advice hoping it's the right one?

Not in relationships, those are never that simple. But if it works for you, go on. Just don't be surprised if people keep getting the wrong idea.

Hopefully if your friend ever needs to act on something as you commented, they won't make the mistake of making that person get the wrong idea either. It would be pretty awful and hurt a lot of people.

I hope you are right. This issue seems really complicated and has lots of potential to hurt them both. Specially the person who has done all those things for them.

Misunderstandings in those things are what make people lose not only a lover but also a friend or even family.

Good. I wish your friend good luck then. I'm sure they will do the right thing if they put some effort on it.

I would like that. It would be nice to see if the advice we provided was useful at all.
