Thanks for answering my question.

You say “I can have a loving relationship with someone by just thinking about experiences we have shared and thinking warm, loving thoughts about them.”

So does that mean that having experiences with that person is integral to having a relationship?

So can you have a relationship with someone you have had no actual experiences with? Doesn’t the other person have to contribute in some way to the relationship too?

For example I have never met Tom Cruise but I could think about him a lot and imagine myself having experiences with him. Are you saying that would constitute a relationship?

Thanks so much for your coaching on this.
