Yes. You found the telling phrase here, Kate. Tedious affection. Myrtle realized she could not waste her one precious life with that.
Interesting phrase, but I wonder what adjective would well describe the opposite kind of affection?
Hmmm. Great question, Jim. Thank you. How about tender? Warm? True? What adjective would YOU choose? Poor John. I am thinking what he really wants is a farm hand, maybe.
How about "mutual?" Because unrequited affection is always tedious or worse.
Mutual is perfect, because тАЬunrequitedтАЭ is miserable for both parties concerned.
