“Love doesn't leave you. Not all at once. It creeps back in, making you think it can be another way, that it can still be another way, and you have to remind yourself of the reasons that it probably won't be.” LoveHeartbreakDivorceHeartacheBreakups Book:The Divorce Party Source: The Divorce Party
“You think if you don’t talk about it, you can just pretend everything is all right? Everything is not all right. Not with us, not with your parents, not with anything today. And if you let yourself go anywhere real with it, you have to acknowledge it.” LoveTruthFamilyHonestySelf DiscoverySelf Disclosure Book:The Divorce Party Source: The Divorce Party
“More than one thing is never true. People love to say the opposite, love to talk about inner conflict, nuances, levels of complication. But if this last year has taught her anything, it has taught her that people are clearer on what they want than they admit to themselves. They want something, or they don’t. They decide to keep working at a relationship or they give up. They love someone or they love someone else. And if they love someone else, it is often the idea that they love most, especially when they haven’t learned enough to figure out that this new person probably won’t save them either.” LoveMarriageHonestyLie Book:The First Husband Source: The First Husband
“In one way or another, this is the deal we all sign when we love someone. For better or worse. It's the deal we have to sign again and again to keep that love. We don't turn away from the parts of someone we don't want to see. However quickly or long it takes to see them. We accept them if we are strong enough. Or we accept them enough to not let the bad parts become the entire story. [Hannah Hall]” LoveAcceptance Book:The Last Thing He Told Me Source: The Last Thing He Told Me
