Kindle Notes & Highlights
everyone has something substantially wrong with them once their characters are fully known.
The only people we can think of as amazing are those we don’t yet know very well.
We believe we seek happiness in love, but actually what we often seek is familiarity – which may complicate any plans we might have for happiness.
The template for our idea of perfect love tends to stem from the tender selflessness of a parent, which doesn’t always translate well into adult relationships.
Our partner is stumbling in the dark around needs that are immensely subtle, far from obvious and very complicated to deliver on.
We are sorrowful not because we have landed with the wrong person but because we have (sadly) been forced to grow up.
we are sad not because love has gone wrong, but because it has gone exactly as it was always meant to go.
