The conflict is rife with loops. Person A insists that person B shower her with affection. Person B is wary of how showering can slide the slippery slope into smothering. Person B has slid the slippery slope into smothering Person A before: Person A has felt smothered. By definition, showering is a cleansing, a renewal, a daily ritual (for most). Smothering is putting out fucking fire. Or suffocating the fuck out of something: essentially putting an end to some existence. And yet, Person A insists that Person B shower her with affection. By definition, which word sounds more conducive to a relationship? But aside from word games, who is more wrong? Person A who wants endless affection despite the inherent consequences (a good healthy, clean relationship included). Or Person B who believes that connection between two people (especially one you have been nurturing for so long) should not have to rely on pedestrian acts of bastardized romanticism. The connection should already be built on a strong foundation, one that forgoes the cookie-cutter universal sense of what others accept as a relationship and ascends to another level on its own singular accords.
Or you could call Person B a cheap, thoughtless pig.
