I don't know. I love people in general unless they are deliberatly cruel or nasty. The only differance I see in my feelings for my wife and those for my close friends is that I've made a commitment to Laurie. When our close friends hurt, I hurt with them. When they're happy, I'm happy for them. Although I truly do love my close friends I don't think I could make the same sort of commitment to anyone else without compromising my commitment to Laurie.
