Close friends are profoundly important, obviously. This is not the same as saying that close friendship is anywhere near as deep or as powerful as love and romantic connection. There's nothing more clearly healthy about thinking two are equally important (or deep).

You can think your romantic/sexual relationship the most important, obviously, without lacking emotional depth. This is no way refutes what I said about people not understanding close connections & love can exist without sex lacking emotional depth. You're being silly & tiresome

Quite. People whose romantic relationships basically eclipse their enduring friendships are really up shit creek when they experience a break-up. A Wagnerian fixation on the holy grail of sexual union is all very well, but not necessarily emotionally healthy.

HELEN, maybe you're discoursing here with a human that's neurologically different and therefore has an emotional blindness.

This seems like an argument over opinion. Lots of things can be "powerful" and "deep" given the right circumstances. I think he's wrong, and I think you can ask members of an army unit who go in battle together and sacrifice themselves to save the team about deep friendship.

Though of course, on average, sex and romantic love will be "deeper" aka more intense than friendship. But, so what? The debate about "planes" and categorical "power" of connection types seems like unnecessary absolutism.
