The Cruel Truth: Why Your Ex Is Perfect for Someone Else
- We think it will help things if we spice up our lessons with phrases like, and everyone else knows this about you too or and you're exactly like your dad. And when we're in the student role, we're equally unimaginative, brittle and hasty. We swiftly resent the partner for spotting something complicated in our characters that we know deep down does need addressing and we disingenuously complain to our friends that our partners don't love us as we are, as though anyone should ever do such a thing. In fear, we regressively equate true love with boundless approval. We cannot allow that someone should both be deeply on our side and justly want to criticise us. Nevertheless, once the heat has gone out of the moment, once we've taken the decision to part and cried alone in our apartment over many weeks, some of the things we most wanted to get across to our partners and they to us will finally have a chance to be absorbed. When the other is no longer in the vicinity, when a point isn't being made with vehemence or insistence, it can become easier to think that yes, perhaps there might have been something to reflect on about one's relationship to a sibling or a parent, a friendship or a professional matter. Pride is no longer on the line, dignity is no longer ruffled. When the classroom has been blown up and the teacher dismissed, homework can finally begin. And so, months or years later, our erstwhile partner may arrive in a new relationship with the fault lines which we fought over with such agitation substantially healed. In their attractive outfit which we brought with them, gazing into the middle distance, they may casually remark, I had a few problems with my brother a while back but that's all sorted out now. Or they may, as they pour themselves a little more white wine, explain with uncommon sagacity that making time for personal life is very important to me now, however much I do enjoy my job. And the new partner will take delight in how extraordinarily grounded and poised their beloved appears to be in so many ways.
