- 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.
我們認為，如果在課堂上用 "別人也都知道你的這些事 "或 "你和你爸爸一模一樣 "之類的話來點綴課堂，就會起到事半功倍的效果。而當我們扮演學生角色時，我們也同樣缺乏想象力、生硬而草率。我們很快就會怨恨伴侶，因為他發現了我們性格中的某些複雜之處，而我們內心深處也知道這些問題確實需要解決，我們會虛偽地向朋友抱怨伴侶不愛我們，好像誰都不應該做這樣的事。在恐懼中，我們倒退地將真愛等同於無限的認可。我們不允許有人既深深地站在我們這邊，又理直氣壯地要責備我們。然而，一旦我們的激情褪去，一旦我們決定分開，並在公寓裡獨自
