Maybe it isn't all true. Who knows?

If it is true, he sounds seriously immature, which one might expect of a man who didn't interact with women other than in very formal ways and controlled circumstances. She sounds like she is on some kind of ego/power trip who plays the men in her life against one another for her own amusement.

I've no doubt that platonic relationships have existed throughout church history. St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross are a good example. Surely you wouldn't pick on them. Their correspondence stayed more on a spiritual plane but that wouldn't necessarily conceal worldly feelings and emotions fueling it.

Excellent example. I'd like to add Saints Francis and Clare.
