“When a relationship or a friendship ends, don't let it get the best of you. They played a role in your story, & it's okay if their chapter still echoes within you. Embracing the reality that not every relationship is designed for perpetuity is an act of self-empowerment, allowing you to move forward without lingering in the quagmire of 'whys' & 'what ifs.Their meaning in your life is valid, even if it's just a memory now. It's okay if that person still occupies a space in your thoughts. The understanding that not every relationship is destined to last a lifetime is a powerful mantra, freeing you from the shackles of past uncertainties.”

“Why must women be continually surprised that their male partners disappoint them? That we feel a distinct lack of support, or that the support we receive is both patronizing and conditional: I will applaud your job, your vision, your goals, if you continue to uphold your domestic duties. Cook the dinners, change the diapers, clean the house, and then you can have your “fun.” Why do women, natural sharers, natural empathizers, yoke themselves to men, who are by their own nature nonreflective, nonverbal, noncommunicative? Why do women, natural nurturers, find themselves hollowed out as years of marriage pass, having drained themselves of emotions that continually are fed to partners who have no interest in reciprocating? Partners who tend to say the same damning words, meant as praise: She knows how to handle me. As if a woman’s primary duty was to use all her brains and empathy to manage a man, as if she were some plumber of the psyche. Or how about this one, which men often say when praising a relationship: It’s just easy. Would a man say this about his job? Certainly not. But the key relationship in his life? He shouldn’t have to work at it. That’s because the woman is spending all her time trying to figure him out, trying to handle him. And she wonders why she is so confused about her own emotions: She has no time to ponder them. This sad situation is not the fault of men any more than it is the fault of women. The two are simply incompatible beings.”
