Is true love buying Cheez Doodles (which are a registered trademark of the Wise corporation)? Or is it being willing to let your partner eat snacks without having to share them? Or even buying snacks you would ordinarily eschew because your partner likes them?
Perhaps. Or is it:
- being wiling to let your partner ____ without having to influence them?
- doing something (hopefully benign) that you would ordinarily avoid?
- expanding your comfort zone to include him/her?
Literary and ecclesiastical sources tell us many things about love being patient, kind, slow to anger, full of poesy and/or celestial light, and sublimely beautiful. They don't always say that much about love remembering to pick up toothpaste on the way home, saying that it's sorry it snapped at you while it was stressing about its flight, putting the new spool of plastic cord into your weed whacker, or buying a little present "just because." Cheez Doodles certainly don't feature in this literary milieu, possibly because of the "z" which is technically a spelling error masquerading as a trademark, or more likely because they were not mass-produced until well after Shakespeare wrote "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
