I feel deeply attached to San Francisco, where I live, even though it's pretty messed up right now, with homeless, mentally ill, and drug addicted people on the streets. :( Still, my grandmother was born here, my mother, and I made sure all my three babies were, even though we lived 20 miles away in the suburbs at the time. I like Lucas Bradley's comment re: how many things we can be attached to besides a romantic partner, and how putting that partner above all other attachments is perhaps the more emotionally impoverished position than being single and attached to MANY things and people and places.
