If thats too difficult, something about heartbreak it's okay ❤️🩹❤️🩹🥺

thinking about the discussions we're having about how relationships are complex; breakups are often precipitated by subtle resentments that stack up until they're a jenga tower of pain that can't be touched. it's why couples can go so long being unhappy together, why "just communicate" is so much easier said than done, why sometimes people hurt each other over and over even though it'd be easier to spare each other and simply break up.
it can be hard to understand if you've never experienced the breakup of a long term relationship (could be an s/o, friend, or family member.)
and the more we talk about it the more i think about this excerpt from the time traveler's wife. (context is: henry is a time traveler whose timeline has finally converged with his soulmate's, and he is explaining to her why he's been dating another woman in the meantime.)
i first became obsessed with this book when i was like, 16? and i did not understand this then. i thought it sounded horrible, that i would never do that to another person.
but, i am older now and i understand it. do i condone it? absolutely not. do i see it happen all the time? yup.
(note: this is not about joe and taylor, i'm not making commentary on them. just musing on how complicated human relationships are, and why the black and white look at them is rarely productive, at least for me. also, again: all breakups are the same in some ways.)
