And this fact is one of the stanchions of the inexhaustible supply and unquenchable demand for novels in the romantic fiction genre!

We may be talking at cross purposes.

Maybe empathy more so than sympathy.

I believe sympathy is a strong ground for marriage - empathy comes with sympathy, don't you think?

I don't think it would be wise to marry someone because one felt sympathy for them but did not yet have empathy.

I don't mean sympathy = feeling sorry for. I mean sympathy as a ground for mutual understanding and love.

I would see empathy "as a ground for mutual understanding and love" not sympathy. For me empathy = sympathy + understanding. But, hey ho, it's just vocabulary. I know what you mean, and I do agree with what you mean.

I feel sorry for my girlfriend everyday having to put up with my nonsense, does that count?

I'd send her a condolence card if I knew the address. 🙂
